No, we didn't go to church. The nurses (3 of them) came in at 4:30 this morning to do their routine and with bright lights and lots of conversation, T was wide awake. It was time for a bit of worship, so we opened the computer and played the Talley Trio. It was a lovely moment. After a short snooze, we got up and started walking. I walk beside T, holding up his arm that is in a cast. He can't wear a sling because of the drain in the side of his face/neck. Walking this obstacle course is quite a challenge, but T likes to tease me as well. I try to match his steps; if he starts on the right foot, I do too. Every once in a while he will shuffle his feet to get me off rhythm. Sometimes he'll start taking mincing little steps or big long strides. It makes him laugh to see me try to keep up. What a guy! Somehow we got three pod laps and five hallway laps done early this morning.
Right now the nurse is here again to give him the daily shot in his belly. Nice, right? That's to help prevent blood clots. It's a process that I don't enjoy watching. Shudder. Another thing that is funny to experience is the different doctors countermanding each others' orders. The head and neck people cancel things, and the plastic people put them back. Right now we're rooting for the head and neck people. They give us the best time table for getting out of here! Plus once we're out of the hospital, no more belly shots!
I will have some errands to run today while T naps. I haven't been out of the hospital since Friday, and I know T would love to go. He pretends he's going to escape each time we walk. There are so many places we would rather be right now. We're thinking of our kids in France as they worship today, praying the Lord will bless their ministry. Also, our lovely Kassie heads off to KC today for sister duty. Jenny gave birth to a beautiful baby boy on Sept. 5th then found herself in ICU, fighting for her life. We are all so thankful for God's healing power in her and for the love her big sister has, to fly back there and stay for a week of home care. Scott will be Mr. Mom all week, something he does quite well actually.
We hope you can find a place to worship today. As we have studied the intricacy of the skull this week, we have wondered how people are able to believe that we all started as pond scum. My goodness, there is just no way. The only answer is the presence of that Holy Creator, and we worship Him today.
