Our God is Greater!

So we have been in Alabama for a week and what progress I have seen! What a difference a week makes! We have gotten a hospital bed in and we are now DILIGENTLY working to get him OUT of this hospital bed as soon as possible! Physical Therapy came in yesterday and did a LOT of work. They did exercises, stretches and can you believe DAD SAT ON THE SIDE OF THE BED!!! For almost 10 minutes! I was so proud of him and Chip said, "YAY Papa!" with the fist pump to go with it! It was great! He did 'pay' for it a little afterwards (lots of spasms and pain) but it was well worth it and  boy was I proud of him. I did take pictures of all these 'baby steps' because I know that we will all want to be able to look back and see just how far we have come. I won't post those out of respect for him and our family - but one day we will look back and just shake our heads!

I do know that quite a few people are following us and our journey here, and i'd like to give you a quick update, as well, on the status of all the appointments, etc. We were to have a doctors appointment in Birmingham two days ago (on Thursday the 2nd) and that got re-scheduled for May 24th in hopes that dad will be significantly better and more independant at that point. ALSO, i need to clarify that the actual surgery and DBS procedure has NOT been scheduled yet. The appointment on the 24th is to start that process and we will have more information for you on that, hopefully, by mid-June.

Now, I have taken lots of other pictures of a few joyous moments throughout this journey that we have experienced. As you can only imagine a 4-year old knows only how to love fully and play hard, and that brings lots of joy and laughter to all who get to experience it. So for now, enjoy these pictures, and I hope for new updates with new pictures soon.

OH, and remember, as Chris Tomlin has put it so well:

"Our God is greater, our God is stronger

God You are higher than any other

Our God is Healer, awesome and power

Our God, Our God... 

Into the darkness you shining

Out of the ashes we Rise

There's no One like You

None like You."
