Looking back in thanks (By Nancy)

Looking back in thanks.....
Steve delivered from a number of life-threatening crises, especially in early days of this illness and most recently from a quick acting pneumonia.  

For the medical team's thorough care  in the Drake LTAC unit for 7 months.  Doctors have said he is unusual in the few number of setbacks that are expected in someone bedridden and needing ventilator for so long

For insurance supporting his care.

For friends and family standing with us through prayer and help and visits too numerous to count

For an eyelid flicker that has healed into eyes that once again speak to me

For jaw movement that has been healed into speaking and swallowing and eating

For a head that needed propping up to full range of motion.  For shoulders that shrug, moving biceps.  For flicker of fingers that gives hope for more.

For breathing that continues to strengthen with the very important development of a gag reflex that came just this week

For the courage, patience, faith and hope that God continually revives in Steve...and me.  Daily.

Psalms 118:29. "Give thanks to The Lord, for He is good; his love endures forever."
