Today, Seth is moving to stage two on the ventilator. There are 12 stages of weaning the ventilator off, but can be anywhere from a 6-12 day process depending on how he tolerates it. I know stage 2 doesn’t sound exciting, but to us it’s a huge milestone!
Hannah put pictures back up in Seth’s new LTAC room.
I stopped by work yesterday, and talked with a someone whose son had a disability so he understood the hospital scene and family dynamics of taking care of a loved one. We talked about how surreal it was that when we walk out the hospital doors, it is life as usual for everyone else. We’ve been granted a new perspective on things, some heartbreaking and some comforting. God, on the other hand, has perspective on everyone and everything-past, present and future. That’s probably why the Bible is filled with verses of how much He loves us and takes care of us in our day-to-day normal lives or when we are in crisis mode or when we are celebrating in heaven.
Your homework today is to tell at least 5 people how much they mean to you.
Specific prayers today:
Success on weaning off the ventilator
Little and big miracles to start following commands
