Hebrews 12:1-3

Do you see what this means—all these pioneers who blazed the way, all these veterans cheering us on? It means we'd better get on with it. Strip down, start running—and never quit! No extra spiritual fat, no parasitic sins. Keep your eyes on Jesus, who both began and finished this race we're in. Study how he did it. Because he never lost sight of where he was headed—that exhilarating finish in and with God—he could put up with anything along the way: Cross, shame, whatever. And now he's there, in the place of honor, right alongside God. When you find yourselves flagging in your faith, go over that story again, item by item, that long litany of hostility he plowed through. That will shoot adrenaline into your souls!

Rehab here I come!

Good News ... I am heading to rehab tomorrow. There is so many unknowns at this point and Im exciteded but anxious at the same time. Please be praying that my actual trip there will go well, for my room (would love a private room but will take what I can get) and for the people that will be working with me. I'm expecting that it will be a lot of hard work but I'm up for the challenge. God is good and I know He is going before me and preparing the way. Thanks to all of you for praying and for your continued prayers. I love you all. Hugs Sandra

Mike Heading back to work

Well it's time, I'll be heading to work today for a few hours and sort through the paper work and see where we are at. It's difficult wanting to be in 2 places at once but I will see her for lunch.

Transfers going well

Sandra did 4 transfers this morning from the bed to her chair. This is a big deal and the therapists are very impressed. It is difficult to watch her struggle but also exciting to see progress. Sandra still works daily on her trunk (core) strength as we realize that this is a critical strength she will need. The goals are still to get to rehab ASAP and to have her neck brace off for Julia's grade 8 graduation. I was going to put going to grad as a goal but she informed me that I didn't have to because it was happening no matter what. Mike

Wanting back to normal

Sandra's status physically has been fairly similar, sensitivities are about the same. It is difficult on the parenting side, as much as our kids are loved by friends and family it's not the same as home. We just want Sandra home but we have to be patient for the right time. We want to give them everything and protect them, but as we found out we aren't in control This is a season of life but sometimes it feels a little too much like winter and we are ready for Summer.

2 weeks in

In some ways I can't believe we are 2 weeks in and in other ways I can't believe it's only been 2 weeks. Sandra is getting stronger, more comfortable every day. She takes some pain medication but a fairly small amount. The kids were on a youth retreat with the church so it was nice not to have to make plans for them but we are eagerly waiting their return tonight. We continue to pray for healing and Sandra to make a full recovery but are content with what God gives us and are happy for what we still have. Mike
