Wednesday Night--February 16

Good evening to everyone.  This is the third time I have typed this blog.  I hate computers!!!
Hopefully this one will stick.

We had a great day filled with lots of doctors and lots of therapy.  If we have no more set backs and if the insurance is approved, we will go to rehab on Monday. The therapist told us today that his therapy could last from 3 weeks to 6 weeks depending on the patient and on the insurance.  I feel Jacque will only have to do 3, but only God knows.  He has to stay on 5th floor to complete his IVIG therapy. He had his port for his plasma pheresis removed today.  He only has two tubes left--four are gone.  Now that is what I call improvement!!!

He had therapy a lot today and everyone is excited about his improvement.  His arms are really improving but his legs are still very weak. His voice is almost back to normal but still weak. His breathing is great.  Instead of breathing treatments every four hours, he only has to do them twice a day. He can blow that little blue thing up to 1500.  He ate three meals today--of course it was chocolate pudding --but hey it was food.

We were blessed with visitors.  It makes the day pass so much faster.  Bart Stewart, Chris Nevels, Shellie and Luke Solieau came. The cards, phone calls, and emails continue to flow in.  Jacque and I are so blessed. We are so awed by the love shown to us both.

One of our dear priest friends also came by to visit.  Fr. Martin Laid from Alexandria stopped by this evening.  His visit was so enjoyable.  He reminded both of us that we could use this time of difficulty as prayers for our loved ones.   Jacque and I both decided we would offer up our difficult time for some very special people in our lives--our children and our grandchildren.  He ended his visit with a special prayer.  We are so blessed to have so many wonderful priests who touch our lives.

Today when I was saying my morning prayers, I came across this bible verse.  I hope you all enjoy it as much as I do.

The Lord is compassionate and when you cry to him for help, he will answer you.  The Lord will make you go through hard times, but He himself will be there to teach you, and you will not have to search for Him anymore.  If you wander off the road to the right or to the left, you will hear a voice behind you saying, "Here is the road.  Follow it. "  Isaiah 30: 19-21

I wish you all a smooth road to follow.

Love in Christ--Laure :)
