Thank you all for your prayers! Our God is so awesome! Today we moved Isaac into TLC in Lubbock. The admission process was very thorough and Isaac did a great job hanging with the case worker, program director, and others. Isaac has been admitted to TLC as an in-patient for the balance of this week, but beginning next week, it’s looking like we are going to be able to keep him with us in the evenings after 5:00 p.m. and all day/night on weekends! Thank you, Lord!! He will participate in therapy as an out-patient from 8:00 a.m. – 5:00 p.m., M-F.
For the remainder of the week, Isaac can only have visitors between 5:00 p.m. and 8:00 p.m. He will be undergoing some pretty intense testing Thursday and Friday. Please pray for him.
If you want to visit Isaac, please give one of us a call because you will need to be added to an authorized visitor list prior to arrival.
We were very glad to be able to take Isaac out to lunch before a follow up doctor’s appt at University Medical Center. I think this is the first time Isaac ate all of his food without any of us “prodding” him to do so. I also don’t believe I heard the words “this is weird” in regards to anything he ate. That, too, is a praise! It’s not because the food at Trust Point wasn’t good, it’s just that he is relearning the taste and texture of different foods. I think he is moving fwd in this area as well!
The doctor appt this afternoon went great! Isaac is no longer wearing a cast or neck brace! He played some guitar tonight, uninhibited, while Megan and Kristi played on the piano. It is wonderful to have Kristi’s mom and sister here. I know it will be a time of refreshing for Kristi. We also received a treat as our daughter-in-law, Emily, arrived tonight from Oregon to spend a week with us. When she left last time, Isaac was still in a coma. She is so excited to see for herself the miracle God has been performing in Isaac!
Thanks to some very special men from Southcrest Baptist Church in Lubbock, we were able to relocate our trailers to the KOA campground, where we will be residing for the next month or longer. We will have a meeting with doctors and therapists in two weeks to discuss Isaac’s progress. The outcome of the meeting will enable us to set goals for the next steps of therapy and to have a better idea of the time-frame we’re looking at. We know God is in control!
“May the peoples praise You, O God; may all the peoples praise You. May the nations be glad and sing for joy.” (Ps 67:3)
“Come and see what God has done, how awesome his works in man’s [Isaac’s] behalf.” (Ps 66:5)
All glory and honor belongs to You, O Lord! We Love You!
