Today was a successful day for Robert and for us - even small victories are so big these days. No small victory was that Robert was able to sit up at 90 degrees for long enough to get new X-rays and the doctors seem pleased with their work. He is drinking lots and had to have prune juice today... He ended the day in good spirits and it was healing water to my heart to be able to just joke around and poke fun - I am so often reminded to be thankful for having Robert's mind and personality still fully intact!
In family news, Dad is heading back to Prince George tomorrow - I guess "duty calls" in regards to weddings and other church business, sure will be hard for him to leave though. Pray that he finds comfort despite being so far away (I know you PG folk will take good care of him for us!).
Prayer for tonight...
- Robert is still being plagued by endless and often scary dreams every time he closes his eyes to rest. We would dearly love for that to end and that he could just have normal rest.
- safe flight for Dad and strength for him as he is away from his family
Good night friends!

Wow, what wonderful healing that God has done this week! Each change (45 to 90 degrees!) is a cause for celebration. I check your blog several times a day, and pray for your latest needs. I have connected David & Phyllis to your site too. May God continue to hold you in the palm of his hand and be your help in every way needed.
Robert, we believe that your mind is bound up to the very mind of your Lord and Saviour, JESUS, and that you have the mind of Christ. You are his beloved, and He gives his beloved sweet sleep. Rest, in peace, we pray. With love from the Mitchells
Dear Robert,
I know we haven't been that close but there is a part of us that is still very much attached to that little guy who used to tackle Kevin's stomach any time he could get the chance! I know that fighting spirit in you is part of what is going to see you through the next weeks and months to recovery. Wow, what progress you have made in a week! And we will keep praying - especially about your sleep and dreams. I am familiar with that fear and panic and pray that faith will arise in your heart at night and when you are alone, that you'll know Jesus is beside you and the peace will come. Tom, I am sorry to have missed you at the hospital since I've been waiting for Kev to get back from a trip to Vancouver to spend some time with you all. He's back today so we will drop in to the hospital some time soon. Love you guys, Wanda and Kevin
