I hope there are some late night bloggers. Please pray tonight for Mr. Steve. I left him scared. Tonight he was moved back to Silvercare Rehab. This time he is sharing a room with a Russian man. That would not be a problem except that he has the TV on and it is right in Steve's ear and the volume is loud. Right now Steve is very sensitive to sounds as it is. I asked him what he is afraid of and he said he was hearing weird noises - well, the nurses aide said that that is the way it is all night. Let's face it - he is in a hospital bed that he can't adjust. He is in a room with a person on the other side of the curtain that he can't speak to. He can't get out of bed if he needed to. He doesn't have the confidence that the nurse will come when he pushes the button IF he can find the button. It was such a great day - it makes me sad to end it like this. Please pray for him and for me that I won't worry.
Today WAS truly a good day. I saw many improvements. He was more alert. I made a little sound to him when I entered the room and he immediately opened his eyes and said - "hi baby!"
He said that the double vision was gone. He is able to eat better. Although he is scared of choking so he is not ready for a peanut butter and jelly sandwich. He is moving his body better. He did not have any night terrors last night. I noticed that his eyes are moving together now.
The blood behind his eyes is probably going away now. PTL! And he was awake for a very long time today. As I was leaving he asked me if I had gone to the bank. We talked about that at 8:00 this morning - good recall. Also he asked if I had done the bills. I had to confess that I had not. He said that I was busy taking care of him instead of doing them. I hit him and we laughed. I assured him that GOD is "doing it". HE is healing Steve and we are EXCITED!
Tonight Kimberly and her friends messed up the house - not really. They moved furniture up and down. They moved me down and Kimberly up. Also we had to make some changes in the living room to fit the hospital bed in it. We opted to put the hospital bed in the there so when people come over there will be more room. Also the TV is in there. A BIG thank you to all those who helped.
After this evening's bedtime adventure - I'd like to get him home ASAP. So pray with us and keep an eye to the blog for an update. Rest well.

We're awake as usual. We've been praying and have Steve on our prayer list on Wednesday nights. Matthew prayed for him on a Sunday morning during service.. He choked up... surprise. From the mountains of WV.
Don't know why we're up at this hour, but we are, so we will pray now. Remember, the Shepherd counts His sheep all night . . .
Peter and Carolyn in TN 1:30am
I hope you are sleeping by now...but my weekend job in a foster care shelter has me awake all night. So I am praying for you all at 3:30 am! I love hearing all the encouraging news!

Just home from work and praying for continued rest throughout the morning.
Just around the corner from Silvercare on Woodstock Drive.
Steve, I know some days it must seem like this journey has gone on for a long time. I know the nights can be the most frightening. When I was on a vent and paralyzed from the eyes down, I would repeat in my head all night long... " Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace whose mind is stayed on Thee..Because he trusts in Thee" and it did help with the terror of the night! God is with you and his angels are camped all about you.
