Mom and Dad had a great Mothers Day weekend! They were able to get out and enjoy church, and we had a special time of prayer for mom & dad afterward with the elders of the church to ask for and believe for their healing (Read James 5:14-15). Then they enjoyed a day full of visitors on Mothers Day! They were so happy to see friends from one of Dad's routes he used to drive. Bud & Bertha visited from Cave Country Store in Franklin. They are such dear friends - always bring mom her "cheese" and other goodies. Mom and dad are surely blessed to have such a big family and big circle of friends. It is truly a wonderful thing to always have people speaking so highly of your parents - it seems wherever I go, someone has a story to tell about "Shug." I had a gentleman come up to me at church yesterday and tell me that it was my dad who made him feel so special from the first time he walked thru the doors at our church The Living Room. He said dad had a way of just making people feel good and welcome and that I was lucky to have such wonderful parents. And it is true - my parents are so amazing. . . and that is why at this time in their life, when they need us so much, it is so easy to give sacrificially because of all that they have done to bless us with such a rich life.
Mom and dad are feeling pretty good. Mom is still a bit on the weak/wobbly side. We are glad she is under good care at Heartland. We take her to see Dr. Roberts her heart surgeon Wednesday for a followup. It's hard to believe it's been almost 4 weeks since her surgery. I meet with the care team for her tomorrow to see what they think about her progress. I know they want to keep her around until she can make some "home-made" noodles for them in the kitchen! ha ha! I told her therapist John she couldn't come home til she was able to make noodles for us again - they have her in the kitchen every day during therapy - and we got to talking about all of her "specialties". . . and that's where that came from!
Looking forward to an amazing week in therapy - we are believing for lots of progress & continued healing. We think we might have found a wheelchair van to purchase. . . we are going to be investigating that further this week and then the we have the home visit is Friday with the therapists to see what needs to be done at home. We have had several contractors volunteer their time to assist with what ever we decide upon - thanks everyone - if we can rally a bunch of friends & family. . . we'll get it all done before they come home!
