God is faithfully answering your prayers.
The first thing Gerry said to Sandi Churchill when they put in his talking valve is "I want to see the sermon." He clarified "it is important to me to see and hear." Tonight while watching the video of last Sunday's worship service that Eric taped, Gerry sang the chorus, every word, to "Praise the Lord" and lipped the words to the stanzas. He was smiling at the end. Mom asked if
he enjoyed that and he replied "yes, I am celebrating the depth of the hymns!"
He has offered "it is very humbling." When Sandi Churchill clarified, "to have people come and visit?" He stated "yes, yes." He is truly touched by the out pouring of love by our family and friends. His memory is returning and needs to be refreshed as to the context of how, and when he knows you. Like
a computer, his brain seems to be loading up.
He was being encouraged that he was getting better and soon "he would be able to walk right out of here." Last night on three occasions he sat up in bed, swung his legs over and tried to get up. When the nurses questioned where he was going, he stated "I'm going to walk right out of here."
This week he was able to stand from the wheel chair, walk 100+ feet with the walker and sit back down in the wheel chair. He rode the stationary bike, used the hand bike, took a shower, ate some bites of lasagna and the list goes on.
Praise that my dear, dear friend Julie Hamel could come from Wisconsin and stay for a week with me and my girls. I'm able to catch-up on a little work time and she has generously been tackling my to do list and cleaning,cleaning!
Prayer requests: that the braces be removed, the trachea be removed, continued physical strengthening, the insurance authorizes the best rehabilitation facility, God continues to be glorified in all things.
Please continue to pray!
Love, Lori
