Yay, God!!!!

Gotta give credit where credit is due....God heard and answered our prayers this week in a great way! Even one of the nurses commented on how Jimmy "must have people praying" for him. We acknowledge that it is God's work through everything that is healing Jimmy. The urology appointment went well and Jim is now catheter free and can sleep in a regular bed. The doctors' conference delivered good news regarding his prognosis - it appears he will stay for 2 more weeks in Craig and then transition to the apartments next door. After another 2 - 3 weeks there, it's quite possible that he'll be coming home!!! Of course, plans can be changed, but as soon as his final blood clot dissipates, he will be sound medically. The doctors think he might need to have some assistance (braces and what not) to get upright for awhile. We're cool with that.

There have been so many blessings - both big and small along this journey. One good one is that Jim and Janelle own two homes, one of which is a ranch. They will eventually work on moving over there until Jim progresses more to handle the stairs in the bi-level. With some minor adjustments to the lodge, it will suit them well during the next phase of recovery. Thanks so much for all your prayers! We've always known God could - just didn't know if he would, and we want to thank him!
