DAY 43

OMG...Blazing Saddles is on...how perfect! Rick was back on schedule today and had a really good day. The nurses just can't believe how strong he is...I bet he could still beat Clint Kieschnick arm wrestling! One thing is for sure, Rick's health before the accident has truly been an asset to him. Tomorrow he might get to go outside. I told Kiran last week if she wanted to stimulate him, the best thing to do is take him outside. So, we're going to see if we can make that work tomorrow. The other thing we might get to try this week is standing him up...they have a special contraption for this, and I'm really excited to see him stand up.

A big thank you to Sandy for the fundraiser. Silpada's jewelry is beautiful...even to non-blingers like me! I made an adjustment to the text so you can now see Sandy's full web address. Thanks for all the support.

Cliff Johnson left me a message yesterday that really hit home...and then this morning I read this in my Bible:

For it is God Who is all the while effectually at work in you, both to will and to work for his good pleasure and satisfaction and delight.
Do all thing without grumbling and faultfinding and complaing and questioning and doubting.
That you may show yourselves to be blameless and guileless, innocent and uncontaminated children of God without blemish in the midst of a crooked and wicked generation among whom you are seen as bright lights in the dark world. Phillipians 2:13-15.


In other words...let your little light shine!

May God Bless you all,
Crystal
