This is Chris, now in for Jen, praying I won't drop the baton, hoping I'll be able to maintain the high standard in blogging which she has set over the past two weeks.
Today was a rather uneventful day in Robert's recovery process. He had another "decent" night's sleep, thankyou Lord. Throughout the day, he had some good stretches where he was about as comfortable as it gets for him as yet (pain at a 5 instead of a 7), and others where he was eyeing the clock, gauging when he was due for his next shot of the good stuff.
Jen left after the 11 -2 shift this afternoon. It was hard for her to leave, and hard for us to see her go. She has been a pillar of strength for us, and I am so thankful that she could be here for as long as she was. For all her fans, you'll be happy to know she made it back safely to Calgary, and will now get herself organized for another year of school and all that entails. To soften the blow of her leaving, God had it arranged that a good friend of Robert's from FSJ, Amy, arrived as Jen was about to say her goodbyes. She put a bright spot into each of our days, and we are very grateful that she made the big effort to come and visit Robert for a couple of days.
The items in need of lots of prayer remain the same .... physical healing of the pelvis, back, feet, and the damage done to some of the nerves,a clearing up of the blood infection, and a good nights sleep. Also pray that God will continue to fill each of us with His encouragement, and that the spirit of discouragement will not come near Robert.
Thanks everybody, for your persistance in prayer ... please don't stop.
Chris
