Recovery Day #3

John's least favorite time of the day
is Physical Therapy time.
Tasks as simple as
walking down the hall and back
or getting into bed are
discouragingly difficult for him.

His pain is becoming easier to
keep under control and his
paleness gets better everyday.
He's still my incredibly handsome man. :]

He's been a little more talkative today
as the day progresses.
It warms my heart when I hear his laugh.
It's my favorite sound in the world!!

He's currently sitting in bed
getting a unit of blood because of low hemoglobin
and watching the Dark Knight Rises.
We are hoping this boosts his energy level!!
(The blood, not the movie ;-) )

Regardless,
all the doctors and nurses are
pleased with his progress and say,
"he looks great!"

They are expecting to send him home
over the weekend!

I think we are all getting a taste of how
difficult this road to recovery could actually be.
It's really a one day at a time process,
and it's important to celebrate the "little victories"

I'm asking God to create in me
who I need to be for John right now.
I'm asking Him to give me the words
of encouragement to share with John.

Thanks for your continual prayers
during this long road to recovery.
He really is doing very very well.
I am confident that he'll be back to his
normal, bouncy, energetic self soon. :]
