Home..home...

Home is so nice for Becky..she loves being in her own bed after 90 days! Loves having Abbey nearby for more than just an hour or two visit! Loves home cookin, even if it's just a good piece of toast that arrives hot and buttered. BUT as straightforward as I can put it, please pray for her physical strength..she is very weak..she needs the walker to get around, which we knew would be neccessary for awhile. Yet, I have to help her out of the bed, the chair etc..She even need helps moving around in the bed. She fell twice..but fortunately I was able to pick her up..She did not get out of bed today...felt not so good in the morning, but better in the evening. We know the various medications will and have siphoned muscle strength..Regardless of this fact, we just want to see a bit more strength. She knows she must get out of bed and work hard to gain the muscle she lost..I need prayer to be strong and stable. To be emotionally and physically equipped to handle the responsibilty. I know I cannot and should not 'macho' this out either..Will of course step back and gather, strengthen myself as needed. Her mind is amazing in that she has a decent grasp of the meds she must take...many pills at various times of the day! A nurse comes to administer an IV..this for the next two months...Yet, I am also trained in how to do this..which I did tonight...So, yes, there are challenges..We continue to rely on the strength or our Lord..We know He will uphold us...even in the most difficult of times..
Good health and blessings to you in 2010
..Celebrate life! Bill & Becky
