We continue to be blessed and humbled by all your love and support. Your gifts and words of encouragement help us more than words can express. God is using you to provide for us in our darkest time. Thank you for giving to the Lord.
If you recall, I originally wanted to stay at the rehab center longer because I thought the treatment was better there. God, however, knew what He was doing. Since coming home, he has provided a doctor of acupuncture, therapy specialists, and massage therapists for me. We even have been given a TENS unit to do therapy everyday.
God is awesome. He has not forgotten us. I am making little bits of progress everyday. Praise God for His answer to prayer. We, even “by chance,” caught an earlier ENT appointment. I am concerned about my voice, so this is great news. We have much to be thankful for.
Prayer Requests:
* The side effects from my medications: One side effect of a certain medication is gout in my right (good) foot. This is most frustrating since I was learning to walk with a hemi-walker, but the gout is so painful, I can’t even stand. Secondly, I was very happy that I lost 40 pounds before the stroke, and another 10 during my hospital stay. However, another side effect of some of the meds is rapid weight gain, and it is discouraging to see my weight come back.
* My frustration with the setbacks and slow progress.
* Please pray for Lillian as she now has to take care of 3 helpless individuals. She is not getting enough sleep and often feels overwhelmed.
* Please pray for my appointment with the ENT doctor. My voice has grown increasingly hoarse and tired.
* Pray for God’s blessing on those who have given to us so generously.
Thank you for your prayers.
