Update from Tiffany
It was a huge blessing for us to be able to go to church last Sunday. While our outing wasn’t extremely long, it was nice to be able to get out in the “real world” for a little while and experience some kind of normalcy. It was amazing to see all of the people who have been faithfully praying for and supporting us through this process. We continue to stand in awe of the countless ways God has used all of you.
Today was an exciting day for Kev as he got to begin driver’s training with hand controls. It was definitely a new and somewhat scary experience, yet it was nice to get outside and feel a bit of freedom. We were also able to talk to one of the representatives from one of the several wheelchair vendors. He was extremely helpful and was able to answer several of our questions. Kev is hoping to order his own chair soon and is definitely looking forward to having a chair that is customized to his body and fits properly.
Kev continues to make progress daily. We of course wish that there was drastic progress to report each day, but it is definitely a slow process. Kev’s shoulder blade is seeming to be healing as he’s not having as much pain as he was having earlier on, and is starting to be able to do more weight bearing exercise with it.
Our current prayer requests are:
1. Please pray for Kevin’s stomach – the several week courses of IV antibiotics have definitely taken their toll. It makes it very tough for Kev to get through all of his therapies when he isn’t feeling well.
2. Please continue to pray for Kev’s puncture wound on his left knee. This is of course the reason he is on all of the antibiotics. We have been advised that he will be on the antibiotics until the knee heals completely, so we’re definitely praying that it will be healed by the time we come home.
3. Of course please continue to pray for a full recovery and that the Lord would regenerate his spinal cord, nerves, muscles, etc that have been affected.
4. Please pray against discouragement. There are definitely ups and downs throughout this process, but we have a long road ahead of us and there are countless things to adapt to.
Thanks again for the endless love, prayer, support, donations, condo repairs, meals, etc. We seriously can’t come close to expressing how thankful we are for all you guys have done. At one point I attempted “thank you notes” and didn’t even know where to begin.
We’re hoping to be at church again this Sunday depending on how Kev is feeling, so we’ll look forward to seeing several of you then,
Kev and Tiff
