Morning. Wow. The nights are a bit hard. Tim has a hard time getting to a comfortable position. The hard part is that it takes about 3 of us to help change his position while maintaining the traction. We are up to eight pounds. They keep watching the screws behind the left ear to make sure they are holding. Tim is off to school today. It is good to have a bit of a routine. The pain is hard to control. We are off the IV pain medications. We are trying to do alternating oral pain medications. He does not complain. I am so amazed and humbled. The main words out of his mouth are "I am sorry mom."He does not want to be a bother. Thank you so much for the prayers and support. It is what sustains us :) Strength for today and bright hope for tomorrow!!

  2. My friends, do not be surprised at the terrible trouble which now comes to test you. Do not think that something strange is happening to you. But be happy that you are sharing in Christ's sufferings so that you will be happy and full of joy when Christ comes again in glory."

    I Peter 4:12-13

    Tim, They had these encouraging words today on WCSG and I thought of you and what you, your family are going through. I wanted to share with you. You are an amazing young man and how you meet each day with a smile. I pray that today your pain will be lower and that you will find that comfortable spot to sleep. You are all in my thoughts and prayers. ♥

  4. Hi, Tim,
    My 6th hour Bible 4 class and I just checked your blog together and we are now going to pray. Your life and faith continue to bless and encourage us. Praying for less pain, and continued peace.
    By the way, 6th hour is wondering what it means that you go to school there.
    Shalom, brother.

    PS, on Fridays we usually share a "Friday Funny." We watched this video today and shared a good laugh. They wanted to share it with you, too. Hope you enjoy.

  6. Hi Tim and Deb,
    I pray often through each day for both of you, and your dad and sibs. God will hold you firmly even when you feel down. He has really big hands.
    How did school go? Were there a lot of other students or did you get some time alone with the teacher?
    Loads of prayers coming your way.

  9. Tim & family,
    Just wanted you to know that our family is praying for you. Tim, I miss seeing you at school on the days I am there. I always enjoyed chatting with you last semester when you were in our room.
