Dad's in rehab!!!!
Day 15
6/14/09 1245 PM Sunday
Two weeks ago Dad was beginning a long journey as a stroke victim. Today I was able to talk with him on the phone as he sat in the chair. Mom and I have been up and down emotionally, physically, mentally; strained but we are trusting and believing God for miraculous healing and recovering through the expert care of Carepartners in Asheville. (So much for physicians and nurses at Mission giving us hope.)
Mom is dealing with diverticulitis and me with IBS. Terry with Loneliness. Matthew with distance.
Lost and alone
Is how the turn of the earth can leave you.
All is peace and joy one moment then a horrible change in the body can leave one helpless---speechless---no motor control or ability to control one's own actions. But the grace of God and the expert hands of professionals can certainly turn the earth back.

Day 31
In some ways, it's been a long, long month and in some ways it's been fast. Sitting and waiting in the hospital was terribly long. Driving the long drive from my house to Mom's to Asheville was long. Expecting greater strides in recovery is not long enough. I know strokes take much time to recover from. I also understand everyone is different. Some days will be miraculous and others heart breaking but hope is essential and prayer is a must. God must have time to work His medicine that is like no doctor's or therapist's. He can heal, change and improve anyone's situation. Believe and take heart!
