Answered Prayers - Amazing!

Remember that friend we were praying for who had torn tendons on both sides of his body? Well, he was finally released last Tuesday. It hasn't even been a week that he's been home, and even though he is wearing braces even in bed (except for showers) and must use the walker, and has 5 indoor cats and 2 indoor dogs, he has accomplished more than I ever dreamed possible.

He just updated me again this evening. He thought he'd need help with laundry but he managed to do his laundry and also get it put away by putting it on a chair and pushing the chair with his walker! He also got a Walmart grocery delivery and talked the fella into at least putting it just inside his door, and again, he managed to put it away by putting it on the chair and pushing the chair with his walker!

His first day or two, the braces kept sliding down and then the third day, I think, his PT person showed him some tips and now they are riding as high as they are supposed to which helps him tremendously. He stopped using the skid-proof hospital socks for walking around and is using regular shoes which he says gives him much better stability.

One neighbor is coming in to feed the pets and do litter duty because there's no way he can bend for six months. And, thankfully, his home is just one floor!

So, my friends, thank you all, each of you, for your prayers...it makes us all happy when we are blessed with seeing prayers answered. We all know that isn't always possible, so I had to share this with you.

Sweet Lord Jesus, thank you with all our hearts for helping this man deal with a very troublesome injury and for helping him figure ways to work things out at home. And please bless all those who took a moment to pray for him! Jesus, we trust in you!
