Well, maybe all that knocking is making some noise on the other side - Robert had a decent night with something that somewhat resembled SLEEP. Hopefully this is a start of a new and glorious trend for him :)
We had visitors today from Canfor Taylor Pulp - Bert and Terry stopped by. I for one was glad to see Bert again, what a great guy. We appreciate the mill making an effort to talk to us and come visit Robert, we know Canfor Taylor Pulp is not just a stone-wall company with no names or faces but a place full of people that care about my brother and his recovery and who are just as ticked as we are that this happened in the first place. For all you Canfor folks following in on the blog, thanks for the card (and the gift - WOW), I know Robert really appreciated that.
Thanks also to Wanda for stopping by!
In other news... We would like specific prayer for the following things:
- healing for all nerve damage
- his blood infection to be properly treated and go away (this is currently under control and not getting any worse but they still don't have the tests back to identify specifically what he has)
- quick healing for the bones in his back and pelvis and in his left foot which was dislocated and is still very swollen and bruised.
- more sleep! and quality sleep!
In family news...
- Tomorrow, I go home. "Does this mean an end to the blog I have come to love dearly and read religiously?" you ask... By no means! My very capable and eloquent mother will be taking the baton (and not dropping it like a USA track star but carrying it to victory like a Jamaican! - if you are not watching the Olympics, this comment will mean very little to you...) I am terribly sad to have to leave my brother but school is a mere week away and I haven't been home in 7 weeks (except for one day!) so it's time. Thanks for all your encouraging words about the blog - did you know that blogging is praying too? So is journalling, random singing, crying, speechlessness, yelling, wondering... you don't just have to get on your knees in a church and say something pretty to be praying! Not knowing what to say and just sitting there knowing God is near is more than enough. He has very good ears!

Jen...thanks for your faithful daily updates and sharing your feelings so freely. I trust that GOD's rest is upon you and His refreshment as you get ready this coming week for school. In Jesus name. I trust that Chris, Robert and Tom are sleeping well and enjoying Father GOD's holy arms wrapped around them too!
Thanks Jen for the blog. It was a lifeline to let us know how things were going day by day. God bless you as you go back to school. So which anniversary was that you just had Jen? Was it 2or3? We haven't seen you for so long make sure if you come up this way you stop in. Thanks to Chris for taking over the blog sight! We'll continue to pray for Robert and the rest of your family. It's Ryan's 1st night in his new home so he's fairly excited about that. Big hug to all of you! Love and prayers from the Gilmores.

Thank you so much for all the time that you have put into the blog and for sharing your thoughts and feelings so openly and honestly. It made us feel better to know exactly what all of you were going thru and to know exactly what to pray for.
Have a great year at school Jen!
