The second day into the wheelchair went much easier, with Robert lasting a good 30 minutes this time. He was even able to wheel himself out of the room and give himself a little tour of the ward. Once he can tolerate an hour, we will be given offward privileges ... whooeee ...hoping for early next week on that one.
Robert's sleep was one of his better ones .... sleeping pretty solidly from 3 til 7 or 8. Thanks to you who offered up extra prayers in that regard.
We met his doctor in the hallway and had a nice little chat with him. He said Robert is one of probably 20 people in the world with his combination of injuries, so there's no "cookbook" to direct what his rehab should look like. Medical people meet as a team and try to work out the best probable course of treatment and rehab. Continue to pray that these people will be given Godly wisdom in their planning.
Well, it's been a positive day so far .... trusting for more of the same.
Thanks for your ongoing prayers.
Chris

Wow, some good news! Praise God! It seems that when you are 8 months pregnant you are up an awful lot in the night. Robert, everytime I wake up I pray that you are sleeping. Keep working this hard and you won't be able to stay awake at night. Praying for sleep for you too Chris.

Wow, things are really looking up! From total bed-rest for a whole 7 weeks to wheeling yourself around in a chair is fantastic progress!!! Our God is sooooo great! Hope you have an even better day today Robert. And Chris, thanks for the updates, and I hope your day will have a few smiles in it too!
love, Nil
Come back to me (to Prince George)with all your heart.
Don't let fear keep us apart.
Trees do bend, though straight and tall
so must we, to other's call.
Long have I waited for your coming,
home to me and living, deeply our new lives.
The wilderness will lead you
to your heart where I will speak.
Integrity and justice,
With tenderness, you shall know.
Long have I waited for your coming,
home to me and living, deeply our new lives.
You shall sleep secure with peace;
faithfulness will be your joy.
Long have I waited for your coming,
home to me and living, deeply our new lives.

This song came to mind this morning, It almost seemed that as Robert goes through healing and physio, this song will used as a preparation and paving the way if you will, for his homecoming to Prince George. Many blessings on all of your family today
