Rick is doing good today and looks good as always. His color is good, his cough continues to be strong, and all vitals are good. We MIGHT move to Texas Specialty Hospital today. They have a bed ready for him, we're just waiting to make sure Dr. Mercer wants to move him. My prayer is that TSH is a stepping stone to rehab, that Rick will make enough progress there that rehab will be sooner rather than later. He has to be at a certain level of consciousness before rehab will take him, and we all know that once rehab starts, there will be no stopping him.
Miss Riley is in Seymour...you may have seen her at TJ's yesterday. I'm sure she was socializing with anyone and everyone! Cade is in Vernon again with Devin and Sandra and the boys.
Tomorrow will be 3 weeks since the accident. In some ways it seems like a long time ago, and in others it seems like it just happened. I firmly believe there is a reason this happened, and though we may not can figure out why just yet, I believe the Lord will show me in his time.
Please continue to pray for Rick's healing and recovery and for God to open all the doors we need opened.
Love y'all,
Crystal

Crystal,
ReplyDeleteRead a story in Texas Monthly about a mom that read devotions fron her Catholic book of devotions to her sick son everyday. This one is one I thought you might like. "You can find the good in what seems to be the most horrible thing in the world...God tells us that in all misfortunes we must seek the good...Acting hopeless is easy. The real challenge is to hope."
We will continue to pray for Rick and you. I know you must be worn out and tired but you are so strong. Keep the faith and know God will answer our prayers. Each day is a new beginning and God will get you through each day.
Love-Angie
I read the Texas Monthly story also... very inspiring. I so agree that with YOU and GOD on his side, Rick will wake up soon and won't rest again until he has completed Rehab. That's just Rick! We can be sure he won't stop and rest till he's way better. Hang in there. We celebrate everytime anything happens... and he's getting better each day with no steps backwards. Won't be long now!!
