DAY 135

TLC came this morning and accepted Rick...high five to God! Now we just need insurance to come through for us and we'll be west Texas bound! Today was Rick's first full day of rehab since surgery and he did okay...it almost feels like starting over with the tone gone. He was a little tired and took another 2 hour nap today when we got back to the house. His incisions are healing well and he has not complained of any pain. Most of the patients in the house loaded up on the bus this afternoon and went to Allen to eat at Golden Corral. We opted out and had bbq sandwiches. There is nothing appealing to me about getting on that rickety bus and travelling down 75 especially if the destination is Golden Corral!

Praise God for Michelle Striplings successful surgery today. I pray for Michelle to have a speedy recovery so that she and MW can get back home ASAP! The Lord hears our prayers and he will not forsake us.

Love,
Crystal
