Our prayers have worked once again. Rick was dehydrated from throwing up yesterday, so the doctor gave him a big boost of IV fluids. At 3:00 Rick woke up, BP was better and fever was gone. Thank you Jesus! He's back to his old tricks...cleaning out his mouth, and throwing a football. I have to tell on Sherry again. She came in this afternoon and I was trying to get Rick to throw the football and he wouldn't...soooooo Sherry starts singing and dancing to the Archer fight song! I swear Rick was laughing...if he would've had his speaking valve in we might have heard his giggle today. And, he threw the football.
The kids went to Six Flags today...as a matter of fact I think they're still there. Pooh and Stan may regret taking 4 kids to Six Flags! We will get to see them tomorrow before we leave for Baylor.
We're one day closer to Baylor...one day closer to having Rick back...one day closer to a victory. Thanks for all your prayers...we have such amazing support. The respitory therapist, Britney, told me that she's never seen anyone with as much support as we have...thank you.
God Bless,
Crystal

ReplyDeleteGreat news... we are so happy that our prayers are being answered for Rick. I can't imagine the progress he will make once he is at Baylor. You'll have to post several times a day to keep up! Glad Cade and Riley got to go to Six Flags. Love and many, many prayers,

ReplyDeleteLet not your heart be troubled,
His tender words I hear,
And resting on his goodness, I lose my doubts and fears.
Tho' by the path he leadeth, but one step I may see, His eye is on the sparrow and I know he watches me. Love Ya Mom

I have listed your blog on our page if you don't mind. Tell Rick we miss you guys and that you and the family are in our prayers continuously. A friend of mine suffered tremendous loss, foster children he and his wife had grown to love were taken away. He told me that suffering is to be expected in this life. Some suffering is due to our errors, some suffering is because of others, but some suffering is because our Lord "hath need of it". Some suffering is given to us because the One who loves us can trust us with this kind of suffering for the sake of the Kingdom. Willingness to praise God even in the face of hardship is an offering that is a pleasing aroma to our Father. It signifies to all who watch that our God is Lord. Some of the most glorious battles are fought in the mind. Having done all.... Stand. In Christ, Cliff
