Day 2 after surgery. Tim's pain is doing ok. Our bigger problem in his nausea. He has had a little ginger ale since surgery but that is all. He just had some more IV medication for nausea. We got our first look at Tim's back. He has 20 plus more staples in his back. A big "YEAH GOD!!" We saw Dr. Fassier yesterday! We were all just speechless and had plenty of tears. He ordered more xrays on the arm and legs. Hopefully we will get some idea what's the next step for Tim's limbs. "We have this treasure in jars of clay to show that this all-surpassing power is from God and not from us. We are hard pressed on every side, but not crushed; perplexed, but not in despair; persecuted, but not abandoned; stuck down, but not destroyed." 2 Corinthians 4:7-9 Kevin drove home yesterday. He got home safely about 12:40am. Thank the Lord! It is a long drive when you are tired and flying solo. Thank you for all your prayers!!!!
Good morning! We had Jolene DeHeer for chapel today. It was absolutely amazing. (If you get a chance, watch it online!) She mentioned a book she read about a cracked vase that couldn't hold water, and how God put light in it and allowed that broken vase to shine his glory. It so reminded me of the chapel you did a few years back with the same imagery. Praying for you all!
ReplyDeleteYou (whole Bosch family) ARE shining Christ's glory! Even through this incredibly difficult time. I'm praying for healing, relief from pain and nausea for Tim, and strength and peace for all of you! My you know Christ's Presence as He walks this journey with you. Lots of love and hugs to you!
