Wednesday

So now we get to hear from Dan himself! Bob & I just got back from a visit with him and he looks a bit stronger than he did on Monday. Please keep praying. Like Dan says it is a very slow process. I can only imagine how hard it is to be a patient patient in his situation. Appreciate you all so much Prayer Warriors!

drip drip drip
It's really coming down out there. There are likely going to be floods in some places. And I am stuck inside hooked to a pole where my food and antibiotics drip, drip, drip. Such is my recovery: drip, drip, drip. The wound looks a little better. The drains are leaving about the same amount of liquid, but it looks like it's slowing. But still: drip, drip, drip. I'm really tired of being here, and I'd really like to be eating food, but I must keep dripping until I get to go home. At least things are improving. The TPN (food) in my new PICC line keeps my energy up to a fairly normal level, but I still miss eating for real.

I'm really glad that Ashley is here with me. She has been an amazing help and encouragement to me. I promised her I'd do this blog so she could watch a baby show on TLC, so... I don't really have much else to say. Keep praying, keep loving each other, and I'll see you when I get out.

Psalm 126
A song of ascents.
When the Lord brought back the captives to Zion,
we were like men who dreamed.
Our mouths were filled with laughter,
our tongues with songs of joy.
Then it was said among the nations,
“The Lord has done great things for them.”
The Lord has done great things for us,
and we are filled with joy.
Restore our fortunes, O Lord,
like streams in the Negev.
Those who sow in tears
will reap with songs of joy.
He who goes out weeping,
carrying seed to sow,
will return with songs of joy,
carrying sheaves with him.
