I promised a blog this week and today seemed like the right time for catch up.
Brock continues to recover slowly, but surely. The changes are very subtle. Something as simple as turning over in bed. Last night I noticed him do that for the first time. Until now he had to sit up first, he couldn't just roll over. He's able to bend over to pick something up. In church Sunday, we were able to stay for a little while after service to chat with some friends. Last week we were the first ones out the door because he was pretty worn out. He's not asking for help for a lot of little every day things.
Today was a very good day. Brock's office has available every year a wellness program that includes a Chem 17 blood test. It is also availble to spouses. Although Brock did not want to be stuck with another needle, I was excited to have this blood test to keep up on my numbers. My appointment was for 9:10 am. We left early so that Brock could say hello to co-workers. We saw quite a few people and everyone was glad to see him and expressed their excitement at the outcome of this surgery. Most told him how good he looks. We thanked everyone for all their prayers. I want to take a moment to thank you all again for all your prayers and concern for both of us. We are so proud to have every one of you in our lives.
When we left the office, we went out for breakfast with some good friends. It was so great to have some good food and even better company.
After all that excitement, Brock was ready for a nap and did sleep several hours during the day.
This evening some of our kids and grandkids came over and our son-in-law helped with a few little things that needed done around the house. We cooked burgers on the grill. Seems like life is coming back to normal.
Had to have a little brag time. These are our grandkids. These pictures were just taken yesterday. At the moment they are both 4 years old. They are 11 months apart in age. "Irish twins". Our daughter gets their picture taken every year at this time while they are the same age. They are the loves of our life.
I have been having questions about our brother-in-law, Bill. He did extremely well with his surgery and is already home. This family has had so much answer to prayer. We are all very thankful.
Time to watch Andy and Opie, Brock's favorite show.
Our God is an AWESOME God.
Love to all,
Chris
