By now, most of you know that I am a person that has a really difficult time when it comes to asking for anything…help with a chore, meals, etc. and especially money. But, I’ve recently been encouraged by many to write what I am about to write because it’s ultimately about what is best for [...]
Read moreThis morning’s entry (Ryan’s Miracle Watch 2/28) was to make up for a lack of entry yesterday. I was out of town interviewing for a potential job, and I did not have easy internet access. I apologize… So for today’s update: Ryan is doing really well. I’ve taken his oxygen level down just a bit to [...]
Read moreRyan is looking as good as always. He’s such a handsome young man. Home is definitely where his heart is, as he looks more comfortable than I’ve ever seen him. His makeshift room seems to suit him well, and we’ve pretty much gotten everything organized the best that it’s going to be. If he likes [...]
Read moreRyan is just plugging along today. No new breakthroughs to speak of, but I’ll take a day not in the hospital any day. It’s nice being home, but there are times when I see (remember) Ryan doing some corny little dance or sitting in his room playing the guitar or… There are pictures hanging on [...]
Read moreThis afternoon we got Ryan up in his chair for the first time in a long time. We weren’t, however, able to wheel him around the estate (more like mother-in-law unit to the houses around us) today. I think I’ll build a small deck with a ramp outside his door so I can take him [...]
Read moreFine tuned some things around the house today for Ryan’s comfort. Put his oxygen machine out in the back and piped it into his room. The new quiet is very soothing for him (and for us). Now I’m just praying to hear Ryan speak to break the silence… 1 Kings 19: …12 ….And after the fire came a gentle [...]
Read moreRyan is doing really well at home. We’ve created a schedule for the nurses to follow so that he can get into a nice routine. The idea is to give him a week or two on the same schedule, see how he does and then I’d like to start reducing some of the medications he’s [...]
Read moreI was Ryan’s caregiver (nurse) today from 7:00 A.M. til 7:00 P.M. What a privilege to serve another human being in such way. I am so blessed… Despite my sub par caregivingness (not a real word), Ryan had a great day. I believe he knows he’s home, and it shows in his entire being. He [...]
Read moreRyan came home today, and it feels so great to have him here!! Praise the Lord!!
Read moreI decided not to do any work today so I could see Ryan since I missed seeing him yesterday. I could barely sleep last night contemplating the thought of seeing him. For what it’s worth from a workaholic, I recommend taking a day off to everyone to enjoy your kids whenever you can. It’s very satisfying [...]
