"THANK YOU, LORD"

Thank you Lord, for a very good visit with Mr. Steve today. I was pleased with his attitude - not nearly the moaning and complaining that he had had up until this time. Thank you for Lior who knows just how to get him to listen and NOT moan. She was cute - she said that if he moaned, she would moan back and that would not be a pretty sound. They both laughed!

Thank you Lord, for his ability to eat by himself. He does a pretty good job with the pureed carrots. He didn't care so much for the "mystery meat" Lord, and had to ask the nurse for catsup. That will disguise anything. He did want a roll and I thought that was a good question. The nurse said that it was too big right now but soon. His appetite is getting better and that is good.

Thank you Lord, for the encouragement with his vision today. He read the label on the TV "donated by friends of Jerry Seigel". He wanted to know who Jerry Seigel was. Lord, it was good that he finally saw the pictures on the wall. We placed this on the wall the first day he arrived - in fact they have been in every hospital room he has been in. He did see Kevin's picture at the very top but wasn't sure who was in the picture with him. But Lord, he saw it and that was super! Lord, I am also thankful for the way he was more tolerant of the sun. We went up to the 6th floor on the roof and he couldn't handle the sun weeks ago and today he was fine. He actually ENJOYED our time up there!

Thank you also for preserving his "cooking" brain. He was able to assist Bob and Kathy Wood as they went over details for the church dinner on the 21st of September. Now you guys better eat up or take tiny portions to make him look good. JUST KIDDING!

"Give thanks in all circumstances. . ." I Thessalonians 5:18. This is good for all of us to give thanks!! Thank you Lord for the reminder today that "All things are possible. . ." We know that Mr. Steve's full recovery is possible and we thank you for increasing our faith as we travel this road with so many people who love us and pray for us!!!!!!

Tomorrow I have a meeting with the case manager and the doctors to plan out more of Mr. Steve's recovery. I really covet your prayer. They want him to reach his FULL potential so we may need to make a few changes. Please pray for wisdom for all of us. Thank you!
