Impossible things - Monday September 18, 2017

As I was driving my first 60 miles of the day yesterday I heard the song "Impossible Things" by Chris Tomlin -

"There is no healer like the Lord our maker,
There is no equal to the King of kings,
Our God is with us we will fear no evil
Cause You do impossible things..."

All I could think was yup!! He does!  He's a God who heals, loves, protects, defends, provides, directs, and guides us daily (if we let Him).  I am so grateful for all that He does for me.

Today Blair was in a good mood!! He really likes the rehab staff and believes they are really trying to help him.  He said that he stood up today and didn't get really dizzy. That's great!!!  He said that his head and neck hurt all the time & the catheter is really uncomfortable. The doctor was going to take an x-ray of his lungs to make sure they are clear and then work toward a smaller tracheotomy tube. The normal pattern is to go from an 8 tube to a 6 tube to a 4 tube and then remove it.  He has a 6 now so they are looking to move to a 4. That would be great news!!

He is still having the double vision so has the patch on his eye (alternating eyes every 15 min).

Blair told his nurses he was going home from there with his Aunt Cathi & Uncle Scott - he is still opinionated and shares his desires as facts.  I am hopeful that he can come to our home upon discharge. I'm not sure what all he will need in the way of assistance but we will cross that bridge when it comes. So far he's been making steady progress for which we are extremely grateful.

I will try to update tonight.  🙂
