from the pit to the mountain top, now to the trail...and we will learn to walk.
Stew had a vision test today and he has a fairly large area out of the right eye that he can't see anything yet. This was disheartening to me, as was the entire morning. After so much turmoil, shock and trying to adjust to the moment-by-moment changes of these past 2-3 weeks, I realized today that now I must learn to just walk through this recovery. There are still some things that scare me. And, some things that thrill me. I still hate hospitals, and I am still a little grumpy that we aren't leaving for our trip tomorrow. Some things don't change. :) Although I did briefly wonder if I could roll his bed to the beach and just try to go anyway...didn't get far with that thought, people would stare. Just kidding. (Can't wait till Stew reads this blog in a few days...I am in so much trouble.)
Speaking of the vacation thing, he was on a funny med this morning that made him see palm trees and kiki our dog all in the same scene. I had to laugh out loud. If he gets to take this vacation in his head, at least he has to take that dog...if you only knew how irrated he gets with her! I call that God's great sense of humor...
I am quite weary, and hope to get some rest. I kind of all hit me at the same time yesterday and today.
Please keep Stewart before the Lord in prayer. For his vision to be completely restored, and for the function of the pituitary gland to be completely restored. Pray for the swelling to go down and all to be well. I know you are praying, and I so appreciate it.
Much Love,
Denise

I pray you can sing this song because you've just experienced it: It Is Well With My Soul
ReplyDelete"When peace like a river attendeth my way; When sorrows like sea billows roll; Whatever my lot, Thou has taught me to say, It is well, it is well with my soul.
Tho Satan should buffet, tho trials should come, Let this blest assurance control, That Christ hath regarded my helpless estate, and has shed His own blood for my soul
My sin- O, the bliss of this glorious tho't- My sin not in part, but the whole, Is nailed to the cross, and I bear it no more, Praise the Lord, praise the Lord, O my soul.
And, Lord, haste the day when the faith shall be sight, The clouds be rolled back as a scroll, the trump shall resound and the Lord shall descend, Even so- it is well with my soul.
It is well with my soul, It is well, it is well with my soul."
I pray that you will rest in Him fully and know surely "It is well with your soul." Stewart is in His hands and all is indeed well as He promised. Cast all your cares upon Him, for He truly cares for you.
Love you,
Becky
Denise - I love reading these posts - they keep me informed! I called this morning and low and behold, Stewart answered the phone! Go figure! It was beautiful to hear his voice - the best sound in the world! He agreed it probably wouldn't be a good idea if I came up since I am coughing! Nurses tend to frown on those things! You are in my thoughts and prayers and I will pray just as you requested! Love ya! Melanie
ReplyDeleteDenise- I just found out about Stewart's tumor and surgery. We are so glad to hear that the surgery went so well. Just know that Patrick and I are praying for you, Stewart and the girls. You are a precious family:) The blog is such a great idea! Will be checking in with you soon. Love, Denise Kennedy
ReplyDeleteDenise,
ReplyDeleteYour posts are really quite humorous, you know. It is a good thing when God can keep your spirit up even in the midst of some really scary times. I pray that both you and Stewart will receive an extra portion of both peace and patience as he continues to recover. I have not been able to get over to give you a hug because of wall-to-wall meetings at work, so consider this a virtual hug. I will try to sneak over during lunch time one day this week to check up on the two of you. Take care and know that you are loved.
