Requests, Praises, and Thanks!

Straight from sweet Michele!

PRAISES.

• David is getting stronger as he is able to walk and be more progressively mobile
• He is receiving good care on this floor
• He was able to drink some cranberry juice today and keep it down
• His pain level has improved, thus requiring less pain med and allowing him to be more of "himself" and alert, etc
• Meghan is being treated for bronchitis (after battling this for a month after doc said it had to run it's course a month ago) and is finally starting to feel better
• The time with my mom and other family member's and friend's visits have been priceless and such a comfort
• I am feeling better :)
• The continued support from friends and family continues to bring tears to my eyes EVERY time I get a message or card etc....PEOPLE ARE SO KIND AND THOUGHTFUL

PRAYER NEEDS:

• Obviously for David's healing to continue and no complications to occur
• Extreme wisdom for those involved in planning his discharge and continued recovery care
• Comfort for David and patience for him as he continues his hospital stay and medical care (he gets easily frustrated and is still an ENGINEER!)
• Mental, physical, emotional and spiritual strength for me as I process David's care, My health, the kids upcoming graduations, the whole Disability situation, etc etc 

Thank you everyone for your past and continued prayers!  We are so grateful for each of you and your commitment to our family!  I cannot even begin to tell you how good it feels to know that each of you are standing in the gap for us!   God is so true to his promises to us to never leave us or forsake us!  His word does not tell us we will not experience hardships on this earth....the Bible is a clear indicator of that as his people endured hardships all the time...not to mention his very own only son...going to the cross and enduring a horrible crucifixion death....for US! I am just so thankful that His mercies are truly NEW every morning and that He has not given us a spirit of fear...but of love, and of power and of a sound mind.   Bottom line is...HE IS GOOD....but sometimes our situations on this earth can be BAD and cause us to look to him for strength and peace.

Love and hugs to each of you...those we know...and those we will one day meet!!

Blessings and a grateful heart,

Michele :)
