Dennis had a good day! He slept well and actually sat up for a while today. We seem to have has pain controlled and the light isn't bothering him quite as much as it has. Megan and I were able to fellowship with our church this morning. My mom "husband sat" for me. Thank you, mom!
I hate to admit it, but it was nice to get out and worship the Lord with our church family. God showed up, and we were blessed. Dennis also picked up his guitar for a few minutes today and worshipped. How wonderful that was! We received some blood work back. He is anemic, his kidneys are not at full function yet, but are improving. Other blood levels are not yet right, but we need to wait to see his doctor this week to get those explained. Pray as I call the surgeons, eye specialists, and dentist that God will continue to do the healing for us. We are not looking forward to surgery. Join us in believing God for another miracle with his facial bones and eye.
Tomorrow, we have some special, special friends arriving from Texas, Gordie and Jennifer Hay, to surprise Dennis. Pray he is up for visiting with them a little while they are with us. They arrive tomorrow evening and depart Wed. morning. They just wanted to come give us hugs, and we can always use some more of those!
In Christ,
Mendy
Dearest Dennis, Mendy & Megan,
ReplyDeleteI'm so sorry to have missed your call on Saturday. I wasn't feeling well and slept most of the day (thyroid acting up and making me very lethargic). I will be in touch. I don't want to interrupt while your company is there.
We're so moved by your posts and faith. It's hard to imagine how deep it can be and how strong God can be for us until we go through such difficulties. Difficulties that we can't even imagine surviving. Mine was different five years ago, but God gets all the glory, no matter the trial. Enough said, that's some catching up for another day.
Don Moen said on his CD "God Will Make a Way", "The truth of God's Word is always that He will make a way for those who rely solely on Him. The exact path is of His choosing. The exact methods are of His design, but He will bring us through to greater wholeness every time we place our trust in Him."
Please let Dennis know that we are continually holding him up in prayer, as well as you and Megan.
We love you and will talk to you soon and would like to stop by for a visit, when Dennis feels up to it.
In His service,
Denise
