Remember that roller coaster ride of an adventure I mentioned earlier in the week? Well, this weekend added a few loops and a big drop or two!
Saturday started out eventful when the family was called in to the hospital at 6:00 AM after Dad had a bad night. With much prayer we waited to see what the day held.
Dad held his own and even improved slightly and was able to sit in the chair twice. He interacted with our visitors, who brought companionship and encouragement. When his oncologist came by in the late afternoon, he had a more positive prognosis - not a quick fix, but plans to get Dad back to where he was before all of this happened. Walking, socializing, and at home!
Today brought amazing progress! Dad was moved from forced oxygen back to a standard cannula, and they had him up and walking! Praise the Lord! He motored his way out of the room and down the hall, and spent time in the chair. What a difference from the conversations we were having yesterday morning.
It seems like I thank you for your prayers every time I post...but we know the power of prayer and how important it is to have the prayers of the saints during this time. Well, all the time - but they are especially needed now. Thank you for your faithfulness!
I can do all things through Him who strengthens me.- Philippians 4:13
