Mom only left the hospital yesterday from about 3-7pm. When she returned, I asked her if she got any rest at all. She said "Oh, about an hour" The amazing thing was, she was flying high. She said, "Steve, I have so many good things to tell you." While she stood bedside and told him all of the good news of the last few hours, he repeatedly mouthed "yes" by moving his jaw. She said "Steve, such wonderful people love us!" and he heartily agreed.

Some blessings of today, March 28. 2014:
~Steve had a restful and uneventful day, recovering from yesterday's surgery. He received excellent care from the staff at Christ ICU.
~We found out his room at Drake At Christ in the LTAC is being held for him while he is in ICU.
~New neighbor Mike let Charlie out because we spent the night at the hospital.
~Dinner arrived from Dan and Karen Rusche
~Dave Meyerrose called and offered help. Right then we were trying to figure out what to do with Charlie next. Decided to put him at New Beginnings boarding where he loves to go. However he didn't have the vaccination needed according to the kennel. Dave M picked him up and took him to the vet. Turned out Charlie had what he needed after all, Dave played with him and brought him home.
~We took him to the kennel tonight. Owner Karen Abell, who has a long friendship and business relationship with Steve offered to come pick up Charlie at a moment's notice if we get in a tight spot again.
~Sandy Banta offered to grocery shop.
~Meanwhile, Dan Larison, Dave Giegler and Fred Banta finished off transferring storage left from our move from one unit, closing it down. This project was begun last night by Rick and Connie Thomas, Vicki and Gary Mertz, Dick Becker and Dave.
~Lee and Karen Mason came to the hospital again, as did Sandy Banta and Mike Tolle.
~Becky, Tim and Flora were at the hospital again today, keeping watch over Steve.
~So thankful to God for delivering Steve from last night's crisis.
Love your witness to God's provision through all that you are going through, knowing that you are all in His hands, and Steve is getting the best of care. He is so blessed to have each of you there for him! Enjoy the photo here so much and pray for a quick recovery so you can all enjoy good times together again. Love you! Sally
