“Lord, I’m Broken”

Isaac continues to get better with his memory. This morning was the first time he remembered that Kristi is from Washington. Every other morning that I’ve asked, he said she is from “Siberia.” Oh,Isaac! The speech therapist was very pleased at how well Isaac is working through his flash cards, identifying various objects and filling […]

Spring Time

Sunday truly was a day of rest since there was no therapy scheduled for Isaac. We had a very good day just being together as a family and visiting with some friends. We got to provide our own therapy in the way of simple games and music. It was also the first time Isaac was […]

Our All in All

We were blessed tonight when Isaac recognized and was able to recall the names of his brother, Eli, sister-in-law Mayra, and niece, Elizabeth. Way to go, Isaac! Isaac was able to play some sweet piano music for Elizabeth, and later we all sang some worship songs together with our good friends, the Daale family. We […]

Preiset den Herrn!

What an amazing day and evening we’ve experienced! The therapists are giving Isaac opportunity in the therapy time to play piano and guitar. Today Isaac was asked to play guitar in the gym while others were also doing their different types of rehab. Kristi joined Isaac and they sang praise songs to Jesus. Isaac did […]

Musical Therapy

Today was a good day. Isaac did well in therapy again, but came back pretty tired out. He’s doing better at walking and is stumbling less and less everyday. The therapists have been telling us that most of the work that needs to happen in Isaac’s recovery will be on his cognitive skills. You can […]

They Devoted Themselves . . .

I tried to post last night but lost the whole thing in the submission. It was midnight, so I decided to go to sleep rather than post again. I’m glad I did because Isaac awoke at 2:00 a.m.; his mind is constantly firing to try to piece things together. We had a similar experience Tuesday […]

Lots of Good Stuff

Today was a good day. Isaac started his therapy early this morning by talking with the speech therapists, he answered a lot of questions. He was kinda tired so most of his answers weren’t right, but that’s ok, the day got better as it went on. He met his occupational therapist Seth, and took a […]

His Mercies Never Cease!

Sorry for the late update. Yesterday was very busy but full of exciting victories! Plus, I didn’t have the password for web access at Trust Point. 🙂 Yesterday morning was very fast paced. Isaac got his feeding tube removed and they pulled the IV just before he sat in the wheelchair to leave UMC. We […]

Shout it from the Mountaintop!

God is amazing! Isaac has had such a great day. He has been eating his meals with a lot of coaxing; I even tried the airplane in the hangar trick and Kristi used the old “if you love me” line. It’s a good thing he ate for her. 🙂 He is having a hard time […]

God Go Before Us!

Deut 31:8 “The LORD himself goes before you and will be with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged.” God continues to reveal His glory and sovereignty throughout this trial. God went before us last evening as we met with Trust Point rehab. He had […]
