Yvonne is Home But Still Has a Long Way to Go!
I know it's been several days since I posted an update on Yvonne. Sorry. She has been home from the rehab center for a week tomorrow. It's great having her home! Sarah and Jacob have been staying here with us too. They have really helped Yvonne's spirit and blessed her heart! Yvonne is up and active quite a lot each day. However with that there is a price to pay. She has been experiencing increased pain at times. Especially at night when her back and legs "seize up". We called the doctor yesterday and they added a second dose of Gabapentin to be taken at night. It helped with the spasms last night. But today she has had pain most of the day. When the home health care physical therapist came this morning she pushed past the pain and worked with her. She stood up in front of the kitchen sink three times (52 sec, 45 sec, 50 sec). She's been having pain most of the afternoon and evening when she sits in her wheel chair. In bed she can relax and seems to not suffer as much. She listens to an audio that Elizabeth sent us that is an "affirmations" audio that also helps her relax when she's in pain. I've been doing a lot of praying for this afternoon and evening. Please do the same for her. Especially in an area on her right side that always gives her pain. I hate seeing her in so much pain! I know the Word says to be strong and of a good courage. But sometimes right now I don't feel very strong or courageous. But I know when I am weak He is strong! His strength is made prefect in my weakness. I believe the Lord told us that He would restore Yvonne to health and heal her wounds (Jer 30:17). And then confirmed that when He told us "Let us hold unswervingly to the hope we profess, for He who promised is faithful" (Heb 10:23). Please continue to pray for us!!!

John, Thank you for the update. I know it is hard to post here and also take care of Yvonne, but the information is helpful as we continue to pray for both of you. One moment at a time, one day at a time. Love, Hugs and prayers.

Praying for Yvonne that her pain subsides and she continues to improve each day in therapy. Praying for rest, so her body can continue to heal. Also praying for you as you give so much care to her and that you also get rest.
