Everything today went really well. Speech therapist said they will do a swallow test on Thursday and from there he may get started on some soft foods. He did good enough during speech therapy today to earn ice chips throughout the day. Lot's of moving and shaking today...he is really tired this afternoon.
We met a family from Carlsbad NM today who's loved one was injured in a four wheeler accident. His name is Kyler and he needs your prayers. His grandparents, dad, and aunt are here supporting him. He is 17, and will be having some additional surgery on Thursday. He is more aware than Rick and is worried about his surgery. Please pray for Kyler and his family...they need God's love to surround them and comfort them.
Sammie just called and told me about the collection taken up at the Groom Ranch Rodeo. The man whose name was drawn to split the pot with Rick did not want his half...I may never know who that man is, but God bless him, and everyone who donated...people are good. So many people have given to us...it's amazing. Also, the Tongue River cowboys had the word HOPE monogrammed on their rodeo shirts for Rick. They will be wearing them at the Ranch Round Up.
We love y'all...thanks for everything.
Love,
Crystal

ReplyDeleteThat's great news. All you need now is time and agreement in prayer. I think you are very fortunate, in spite of the tragedy you two will triumph. Thank you Jesus!! Keep reading or praying the Word over Rick, there is healing and power in the Word of God. Please, take care of yourself, and know many, many, people are thinking of you both and praying for your family's well being. God Bless, keep you safe, and strengthen you all, later, rick
Step by step, prayer by prayer, God will always get you there! Keep looking up Crystal, the mountain climb is getting shorter, soon you will be on top looking down into the valley...Jesus said, "In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world." John 16:33

Crystal, Tell Rick I love him. I hate being so far away. The idea of Red shoes is a great idea. Praise the Lord for his progress. Love you all
