And He said unto me, "My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me."
2 Corinthians 12:9

Welcome Home!!!

HOME!


Amazing! Awesome! Incredible! Comfortable! Renewed!  We are finally home.  After more than a week in the hospital, we are finally home.  It has been quite a week and you have been amazing to support us, pray for us, and encourage us.  And while we not in the hospital it does appear that this next week we will need to take things slowly as Princess begins to readjust to life and does need to take time in relearning many things. 


Critter is super excited to have us back and today seemed to be a good day to just rest, get some much needed family time and most importantly, take things slowly.  Our pace today was a nice slow pace and we greatly enjoyed some time with friends who blessed us with lunch and some wonderful time praying together. 


As for the future, the physicians still are not quite sure why Princess' sodium level dropped to the level it dropped to.  Additionally, they were still amazed by God's work in Princess and how far she has come along in just a short time.  Her recovery time is truly amazing and much faster than expected.  For now we are humbled and definitely mindful of the brevity of life.  Moreover, we are continually grateful for God and His work this past week.  Last Thursday, through tears I shared with my family as I opened my phone call:


 "Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding; but in all your ways, acknowledge Him and He will direct your paths." Proverbs 3:5-6


This has been our life verse since the two of us became one in August 2003.  And before that, it was my parents, and before that my grandparents.  What a legacy!  We are honored to carry the torch, and truly, it has been our trust and full faith in Christ alone for our guidance this week.  Thank you again and we appreciate all your encouragement!

  2. Wow home in just a little over a week! After a seizure like that, this is truly a miracle. So thankful she was able to avoid the heavy drugs. I am continuing to pray for full restoration of health.
