Thanks again to all who have relied to this thread, and others who have shared via a personal message and many who I feel have said a prayer or two but not placed a message here. I have been reading this every day to see what has been shared and also to have my faith uplifted by reading and rereading the messages that have been placed here.
Last Sunday (October 16th) Mom was really doing poorly and when we visited after church and I was not sure she would be with us much longer. Well our God is still in charge and not to busy to hear and answer prayers. We had special prayer for her Sunday morning and my wife and daughter “stood in” for Mom during a time of pray Sunday night and there has been a total and complete turn around in her condition.
Monday morning when my wife and I went to visit she had had a very good night’s rest and was stronger during the day. She has been eating well all week, Wednesday she got out of bed for the first time in more than 30 days and with support from Dad and I took several steps. Each day she has been stronger and stronger. Praise the Lord!
Since she has been able to sit up and stand we rented a small, folding type wheelchair yesterday that is very supported of her and can be use through out the house and outside if needed. Well when I went over this morning Mom shared that instead of sleeping in the hospital bed that she got into the wheelchair Dad took her to their bedroom and she slept in her own bed for the first time since September 10th.
With a huge grin on her face today Mom told be she had plenty strength and with Dad’s helping could easily get in and out of the wheelchair and bed. I asked if she enjoyed sleeping in her bed, the answer was “Yes”. I then asked if she had held Daddy’s hand last night and she replied; “Yes, and we cuddled for a long, long time.” 87 and 84 years old, married for over 65 years and still so very much in love.
We realized that her heart and lungs are weak and only God knows and holds the future but we are all so very thankful and whether these are her last days or not that that she is able to share them to the fullest and without pain.
Just so very thankful for each day we get to share and also thankful for each of your prayers, kind words and support. “God is good all the time. And all the time God is good!”
