Merry Christmas!

Well, we're out of the ICU and we're glad of it.  They were very nice to let me stay most of the night in there but it's a tough place for Jennifer to get any sleep and as doc said when he saw her yesterday, "Nobody gets any sleep in the ICU".  Too much activity, tubes, noise, and beeping equipment.  That said, Jen received some great care there and we're thankful.

Jen has been up in a regular room since yesterday afternoon and it's much more quiet and peaceful here.  She's doing great, and has been standing up and sitting in a chair for a while.  We just video-chatted with Emily, Matt, Laura and their Grandparents and opened stockings together...what fun, and it made some of the 2500 miles melt away.

Merry Christmas and Season's Greetings to All and accept our best wishes to you on this special day!

    I love the part about being able to open the stockings together via the magic of modern techonology. Completely amazing. God is good!! You are in the "Everlasting Father's" hands!

    Blessed Christmas to you all,

    Linda (And Bob, of course!)

    Dave - Thank you so much for setting up this blog. You both have been in my thoughts non-stop and being able to read the updates without interrupting you on the phone has been wonderful. We've been following the blog since Tuesday, but I just now figured out I can post comments. (duh!!)
    I love you, Jen, and Merry Christmas, and I'll talk to you soon. Tracey

    Dear friends,
    we have been thinking about you all day; we are not at all surprised to hear that Jen was on her feet already. Can't keep her down for long. We will continue to pray for a speedy recovery.

    Jen - this psalm has really captured my heart in
    praying for you. It's all good, but here's an excerpt:

    ***************
    Psalm 40 (New Living Translation)

    Psalm 40
    For the choir director: A psalm of David.
    1 I waited patiently for the Lord to help me,
    and he turned to me and heard my cry.
    2 He lifted me out of the pit of despair,
    out of the mud and the mire.
    He set my feet on solid ground
    and steadied me as I walked along.
    3 He has given me a new song to sing,
    a hymn of praise to our God.
    Many will see what he has done and be amazed.
    They will put their trust in the Lord.
    4 Oh, the joys of those who trust the Lord,
    who have no confidence in the proud
    or in those who worship idols.
    5 O Lord my God, you have performed many wonders for us.
    Your plans for us are too numerous to list.
    You have no equal.
    If I tried to recite all your wonderful deeds,
    I would never come to the end of them.
    **************
    And the last verse (Vs 17) says "You are my helper and my savior. O my God, do not delay!"

    Amen? :-)
