Today was another day of moving forward with God’s strength and healing. Isaac was very alert and talkative today. He had a good day with the speech and physical therapists. He was able to do the leg exercises really well. Kristi and I were counting off each one he did. During one exercise, he actually began counting off with us. He is really limited on what he is able to process and communicate right now, but he really made great strides today. He was able to identify a knife and spread peanut butter on a cracker and eat it. That’s great because we are working toward removing the feeding tube and getting him on a regular diet. Another praise is that the thrush is gone from his mouth; he was able to start drinking water and eating ice today. He knew he was in the hospital, and he knew his birth date. I cheated and gave him the month, but he did recall the day and year on his own. Thank you Lord for the work You are doing in Isaac’s mind!
He is really simple-minded right now, but we trust God will take him every step of the way to full-recovery!
Kris and I visited an in-patient rehab facility today to consider moving Isaac there this weekend. They did not accept Isaac previously because of his inability to participate in the rehab therapy; however, now his condition has drastically changed! We were very pleased with the facility and treatment opportunities. Please pray with us as we try to determine the next best place for Isaac to go. He has quite a road for recovery ahead of him, but we know God is going ahead of us and preparing the right place. Thank you, Jesus!
Your prayers and petitions are being answered! Thank you for you continued love and support. Our God is Mighty to Save!
