HAPPY BIRTHDAY RICK!

When all this happened I was praying we wouldn't still be in the hospital on his birthday, but here we are. My prayer now is to be home by Christmas. I know God knows what's best and I still have my faith in him. Rick's day was pretty uneventful, mainly because he had to have sonograms of his gallbladder and liver this afternoon. He did good work this morning in both OT and PT, but the best came during ST. She actually had him singing happy birthday...we couldn't really hear him, but he mouthed every word! It was really exciting. He also mouthed the words I Love You to me...so sweet, makes me so happy! The gallbladder and liver sonograms were just precautionary measures after his storm yesterday. The gallbladder is good...the liver looks like it may be possibly bruised from the accident, but it's not anything they are worried about. A catscan has been ordered for tomorrow at 2:30. He's mainly rested this afternoon...he didn't have anything to eat until 3:00 because of the sonograms, and I can tell he has no energy. So, not exactly how you would want to spend your b-day, but we'll make up for it next year! We'll keep working towards our goal and appreciate all the help we've received along the way.

Work as if your were doing it for the Lord, not for people. Colossians 3:23

All the Glory to GOD!

Love,
Crystal

  2. And I got a big hug from Cade today!! I showed him that I was only 2 doors down, and he could always come get me if he needed anything.
    Sounds like y'all had a good day, considering poor Rick couldn't eat b/c of tests. Hang in there!! We're going to have a BIG party on his 43rd bday!!
    Love and prayers,
    Kelly, Reno, Alyssa and Morgan

  6. Crystal,
    Sounds like things are still looking up!!
    Well pray for Cindy Layton, she decided last nite about 10:30 to bite a rattlesnake, she is home, however, she is pretty sick, we prayed for her a while ago and are believing she will be miraculously healed tomorow!! Hope you and Rick have a good day tomorrow so as to start year 42 on the right foot. Like Kelly said that 43rd birthday party needs to be a blowout sure enough!! God Bless you both and continue to strengthen you both!! later, Rick

  9. My Dad and I wanted to say Happy belated Birthday to Rick. By the way, Crystal, I am glad that you did not call me to rescue you to assist you to lipread Rick...using me as an interpreter. Hope for speedy recovery. Take care. Randal
