Sally's Update

Psalm 119:105

Sally is insisting that we all return to our jobs, our normal activities, our lives. She has kicked us out of the hospital! She has been moved from Cardiac Care ICU and was returned to a beautiful room in Telemetry. Marilyn reports her new room is nicer than most hotel rooms, it even has some interesting architectural curves! This is the room that Sally will begin her Cardiac Rehab which will include getting her up and out of the bed she has been laying in for more than 10 days. Here she will begin to sit up, stand up, walk (3-4 times daily), activities that will enable her to, one day, become independent again. However, each will, no doubt, wear her out. Her request is reasonable--she should be able to rest in between breaks from rehab--not entertain!

We are grateful for the uneventful day yesterday. Since this medical crisis began, Sally has experienced an acute complication each day following her heart attack, with the exception of Sunday and yesterday. We are all breathing easier, energized by Sally's smile and the twinkle in her eye that has once again returned.

Returning to a new normal. What once was--may never be. What will be is yet unknown. Still, we know for certain that we are walking a path that is lit by His lamp. And though we cannot see it with human eyes, our hearts feel it. Thank you for your prayer support along this path.

"Now faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see."
