So at Health South in Columbia now to start rehab. Thanks for all your prayers and thoughts. It has and does mean a lot to me. It has helped me more than yall will ever know.
Yesterday he was more awake than any other day. More like himself but still not quite right. Does have a small fracture on his right shoulder blade but nothin to worry about. He ate three meals, got a bed bath and talked coherently in sentences. Thanks to you all for caring. I don't know or even have met most of y'all but sure is a nice family here.
Rick we will continue to be here for you. Your son is on his road back & he'll get there with his loving family at his side. More good thoughts & wishes headed your way.
Today he is very anxious. Wanting to know when people are coming, asking every 2 or 3 minutes. He, we, walked around the ward a few times. A little wobbly and drifts right. Talking much improved.
Rick, please do NOT leave us alone. You have a lot on the plate, so come here and spread it around. Does you good I hope and we can lend our words if nothing else.
Sometimes it pours when you want a sprinkle, but the crops always grow.
So this morning he wasn't cooperating with staff, just sleeping a lot. We got him to sit up and listen to and talk to the nurse. He ate more chocolate chip cookies and drank some soda. He ate toast, bacon and eggs this morning. Occupational therapy and physical therapy people came in and got him up and walking. He did good and responded well to them. They decide to run an MRI cause he is sleeping so much and not responding much to staff.
He woke up long enough for us to wash his face, head and hands.
He ate a cheeseburger, chocolate chip cookies and banana pudding. Drank some Pepsi and burped a few times. He did talk a little. Then back to sleep.
No cussing but wasn't completely compliant but better than yesterday.
I'm still sending prayers your way. It sounds like you have your hands full and then some. Seems like when it rains, it pours.
I know it sounds like a useless platitude, and it's hard to take in; but God won't put more on you than you can handle. Oftentimes, He'll put more on you than you want, but at some point He will give you the strength to handle it.
He was driving an 05 chevy cavalier sport 2dr. The pictures were from a distance but the passenger side of the car is destroyed. Glad no one was with him.
It's probably so easy to say Rick, but your inner strength and control will provide the outward guidance your family needs to get through these tough times.
Here's a brief quote from my wife's Daily Devotional that may be of some help today...
"It's alright to be human. As you live in close contact with Me, the Light of My Presence filters through you to bless others."
As much as I'd like to come up with something snappy or thought-provoking, Rick, I cannot convey my innermost prayers and thoughts better than the three guys above have said it. May God bless you always for your devotion to family, and may He continue to watch over you all.
