I had the opportunity to climb the mountain behind the hospital this week. The weather was perfect, and the trail was very pretty. This picture is from the peak, looking down into the city. The actual view was much more beautiful than this photo portrays. While hiking, I started to ponder the old bumper sticker ?God is my Co-Pilot.? No idea why my mind went down that path? My thought was always ?if God is your co-pilot, you had better change seats!?
Many people have commented about how well I am handling this whole circumstance. There is a long line of strong-willed practical women on both sides of my family, and I do follow in their footsteps. But if I am honest, this situation really is beyond my strength. Falling apart inside is an almost daily occurrence. I am tired and sometimes angry and want to go home! But I am learning each day to rely on God?s provision, to wait on His timing, and to seek His will and purpose in all of this. He is my Pilot, has a plan, and speaks to me in many ways. One way He speaks is through the blessing of having such a wide group of supporters who have all gone above-and-beyond to take care of us. Thank you again, each and every one of you, for all you have done.
Rob has been more awake the last few days. What I mean by awake is just that, less sleepy and more alert. I don?t mean that he is communicating or really aware. Yet. He has been responding to sounds outside his room, following commands a little more consistently, and holding my hand more frequently.
The doctors, after reviewing the latest CT scan, decided that he would benefit from a permanent drain. Off to the operating room today, once again. He just got back to the lCU an hour ago and is still very sleepy. All went well, no complications. He has another really bad haircut... Praying and hoping that this will take us one step closer to Pennsylvania!
