Tuesday, July 7, 2009

Today is Tuesday, July 7th. Any more days run together. God really gave us a good thing when He broke down our week into 7 days. Gave us structure and a sense of time.

All this, if I don't remind myself, is lost to a endless incoming tide of urgency, things to be done, or one crisis after another coming in rising and falling rhythms.
But the waves are unpredictable and keep you off balance more than anything.

Today we were hit with a number of blood clots, at least one being major, residing in the left leg. The physicians immediately gave Molly shots to cure the problems and will continue to give her shots as well as tablets. This has interrupted Molly's schedule of therapy and sent her into a depressed state somewhat. Tonight she is better.

Discharge from the hospital here has been set on July 23rd. There is no way short of an outright miracle she will be ready to leave. A team of care givers set the date. We'll have to talk to them!!!

We are exploring U of Miami as an alternative for extended care. They have advanced studies and programs in paralysis.
The U of Alabama also has a good program I hear, and we will be investigating that also.

More later.

    Thanks for the posts and updates and the pictures. So many of us are thinking and praying for you and your family. I was just reminding Jared that the reason he and Grant went to St. Johns was because of Hadley and Molly. I was so impressed with them in Sunday School I asked about where they went to school and went and looked at St. Johns. We're in West Palm now, I remember running into all of you at Bahama Breeze on Mother's Day I think, a year or two ago...I saw Molly then and couldn't get over how beautiful she was!! If there is anything I can do for you on this coast, please let me know....love and strength to all of you

  2. Tom & Julie & family,
    We are praying for all of you. Your girls are a part of my children's growing up at Lake Carroll. The strength you both are showing is a testament to all of us.
