Mom's Husband is Back

Mom called on her way home from Pip tonight to let me know what dad had for supper. Way more than I thought he would.

1/2 grilled cheese (without the crust)
1/2 bowl of tomato soup
pudding cup
1/2 cup chopped peaches
& Ice Tea

He also swallowed his pills!!!!!!!!!!!! Yesterday he started to suction himself when needed and continued that today with ease. For the first time he listened to music on his new MP3 player that he got for his anniversary a few weeks ago. He also had his glasses on for a while.

Mom said to let everyone know that if you are interested in seeing dad - it should be okay - just keep the visits short. Visitors will have to wear a gown & gloves. Just a precaution to protect dad from viruses - he had a blood test come back such that they want to be sure he continues to heal not not go backwards.

Mom also wanted me to express her deepest gratitude for all the love and prayer support given to her and dad. She finally feels like she is getting her husband back. She said that if anyone would have told her a week ago that she would be feeding dad supper and that he would be suctioning himself - she wouldn't have believed it.

"I cried out to Him with my mouth; His praise was on my tongue. If I had cherished sin in my heart, the Lord would not have listened; but God has surely listened and heard my voice in prayer. Praise be to God, who has not rejected my prayer or withheld His love from me!" (Ps. 66:17-20)
PRAISE BE TO GOD!

Here I am in my office doing the happy dance! Crust or no crust, I bet that grilled cheese tasted pretty good! Awesome is reserved for God-things, and this is truly AWESOME! Surprising, no. Awesome, YES! Thank you, God, for your faithfulness!
Continued love and prayers from PA,
