From Ian: Hi there.
Today is a lovely day with the sun shining. As I walked to her room I looked at the Gardens and some of the leaves were a bright red against the green. It was so beautiful and I thought of how God's mercies are new every morning and He gives us strength to get thru the day.
Yesterday was a tough and long day. It finally finished at 5pm. Then in the evening she had homework. Very simple 4 word sentences. We also met with the psychiatrist. They think of everything here. Fiona was hear for the day which was good as she could go to all the sessions. In OT they had a group cooking session and poor Di struggled with it and to put a few things in the dish washer and to wash 2 things stressed her. This morning she woke with severe chest pains. Anyhow she buzzed the nurse and had a whole lot of tests and EKG. So far all is ok. Anyhow I got her up, showered and now she is continuing with her homework. Later she has speech therapy. I will also get her up and practice her walking. She says I am a slave driver and no peace for the wicked!!!!!!
Thanks for all your love and support.

Trevor says: "greetings to you both, and i really am thinking of you all the time, i hope the way forward goes well and that God will do many more mighty miracles in your lives."
ReplyDeleteYes, praise God for the beauty we see around us, the evidence of God's love and grace. "Give us today our daily bread" emphasises that God will give to us what we need, when we need it, and in what quantity we need it. Hang in there Di, you are doing SO GREAT and we are immensely grateful for the progress you are making. We continue to pray. Sending all our love, trev and barbs xx. tku for your message to us via judes
Hang in there Di, our thoughts and prayers are with you and the family daily. I too love the new hairstyle, suits you and must be so easy to maintain, think we should all try it sometime, start a new fashion! Love you lots and can but continue to trust God that he will continue to answer our prayers,' now to Him who is able to do superabundantly, far over and above all that we dare ask or think' Eph 3.20
ReplyDeleteAaah, the 'slave driver' who doesn't know how many teaspoons of sugar she takes in her tea, or was it her coffee!!! Well, methinks the 'slave driver' is gonna have to go to the cooking classes too, to help with the cooking...in our house we'd have to live off sausages, eggs and chips for dinner if D did the cooking! Then I'd be having a cholestrol overload and chest pains!
ReplyDeleteNot too many days now until you can get home and be in your familiar lovely home. Sounds like you're making great progress Di, and Ian too, helping you with your routine daily activities - that's taking your marriage to a whole new level of sharing and caring. Wonderful. You are both amazing friends to us!
Lots and lots of love

Dad threatened to go on a cooking class in Provance, France, I told him he had to go locally, as in MIDLAND!!! Fall here is so beautiful, as I look out our window to the yard covered in bright red, yellow and orange leaves I am reminded that in God there is a season for everything.

ReplyDeletehi di, hope you've had a great weekend and only 3 more sleeps until you are home in your bed!!!

Ian and Diana,
ReplyDeleteStorming heaven wth prayers for both of you at church this morning.
I love a Christain writer Joyce Rupp - in one of her prayers, she writes,
"I believe that my life will always know its season of hope, that I will find flowers
after every finality of ice and snow, that I will find green, growing things after
every harsh, barren reign of winter’s rage.
And most of all . . .
I believe in the Sower of all seeds, in the God of the harvest, in the Giver of all
good and growing things, my Lord and my God!"
I pray in this harvest season of hope for both of you. Love, Kathy
Mom has only had one MRI since the op, and that was taken the day after, so no news on wether or not it's growing or what is happening. We're eagerly awaiting another scan to find out more. Should be taking another one next week for the chemo/radiation, but only a ct scan. Will keep you all posted as soon as we know more.
