Best Day Ever

God is so good.  We had the best day ever!!! The day did not start out great. Jacque did not sleep well last night.  Then when therapy came, Jacque could not sit up because of the terrible pain.  When the doctor came in for his morning visit, we asked if there was any way Jacque could have the catheter removed.  The doctor agreed that the pain could be coming from the catheter.  Guess what!!! The pain was from the catheter, so when the therapists came in Jacque was able to sit up and stand up and get in a wheelchair.  Then he wheeled himself up and down the hall.  Praise God!! Now he is still very weak and had a lot of help to get up and stand up--but all this is so wonderful.  Yesterday we were so low and today we are so high!!!! That is one thing about being down--the only way you have left to go is up.  We now only have one iv--one left--five gone--WOW!!! The rehab unit is anxiously waiting for Jacque.  They came in and interviewed Jacque about what he likes to do for fun.  Of course he said, number one is spending time with my wife,kids and grandkids; number two is hunting and fishing; and number 3 is playing with my dogs!!!  The therapist said she could help with the third--so Jacque will be having pet therapy.  They are also going to bring in a man who had Guillian Barre to talk to Jacque.  He was in the hospital just 3 months ago and is now back at work!!! Jacque is so pumped and ready to get busy.  He said it was going to be like being in a boot camp. He is so thin and weak. I know rehab will help build him up again.  I know we would not being doing as well as we are without everyone's prayers. Please continue to pray. Jacque and I will continue to praise God and give Him all the glory.  We are so blessed. Bible verse for the day, "God is my savior, I will trust Him and not be afraid." Isaiah 12:2
 Good night and God bless.  Laure :)
