Here's what I'm praying...

11:40pm. August 4,2011.

I should've blogged the last hospital visit with Pop. But I didn't.

He has infection in his body. Not sure of the source. He's sick. Very sick.

The best doctor ever just came in to tell us that he needs aggressive management in the ICU and LOTS of prayers. It's touch and go, he said.

And he was very sad. And apologetic. And I understand.

And I hate that I was there to see the look on my husband's face. And the reality that sadder days are ahead.

I know that our Jesus is a healer. But I also know that Pop's body is failing.

I'm praying for God's perfect will.
It's all I know.

I'm praying for rest. And wisdom and clarity.

I'm praying for low-stress and for togetherness. I'm praying for sweet moments in the days ahead.

I'm praying for loving friends and that this would not feel like we are on an island.

I'm praying that the same God that knew Pop before he was born, will give us the softest peace.

I'm praying for my boys. They love their Pop. This hurts them so much. This hurts me that they have to see him this sick.

I'm praying that no matter what...that God would receive the glory and that we would let Him use us.

I'm praying.

And I'm asking if you've read this...will you pray too.

Blogging from the gym

So, I am 4 week post-injury and day one on the rehab schedule that the doc gave me.

Bike. He told me to do the bike 5 days.

Now. I'm not a fan of the bike. I guess my "runners ADD" kicks in and I wanna be making progress. Going somewhere.

But, I am doing the bike. AND I AM GONNA LIKE it ;)

And to be honest, I am supposed to be feeling great, and to tell the truth, my leg still hurts. It burns actually.

Very discouraging. But I just keep telling myself if I follow the plan it'll be all better.

There's nothing like a son and his father

Typing from the hospital as I'm watching my husband rub his fathers head, hoping for relief from this pain.

The tenderness of this is overwhelming. The thoughts of the role reversal and so many things run thru my mind.

I'm thankful for a husband that, when push comes to shove, let's that tender spirit take over and nurture the ones he loves.

Atleast I feel confident that I'm taken care of later in life.
