Lunchtime Update

I went up to see Mom and Kimmy at lunch today. When I went to Mom's room it was empty. They had taken her down to physical therapy and after that were taking her to see Kim. I got to the entrance of Kim's floor just as they were opening the door and letting Mom in. While we were there they took out the feeding tube from Kim's nose - she is eating on her own now! She climbed in and out of bed on her own to give Granny a kiss. Here is a picture of Kim's beautiful smile!


After a bit I took Mom back down to her room. Her lunch was there and she ate a bit and was drowsing in her wheelchair when I left. I went back to Kim's room for a minute to ask Becky a question and Kim was sitting up in bed getting ready to eat real food for lunch. She said "I'm going to watch 'The Ice Princess'." They had brought in a small TV and she was excited to watch a movie.

Thanks for your prayers, we'll keep you updated.

Dan

Hi Rickerd and Wilson Families,

This will be a good place for us to keep tabs on you all from Pittsburgh. Your family has been on my heart as I know all to well what you have been through over the past few days.

We have a great God who will heal all and give you the strength to get through this.

We are praying for you!!

We're praying for you all way over in the land of Detroit - thanks for keeping us posted. We're also praying that your VBS is going great! Thanks Dan, for doing such a great job with keeping things up to date - I echo the sentiments of The "A" family!

Kim - you look awesome and so rested - I'm sure that your Mom doesn't look as good as you with all that great care you are getting at the hospital! We're praying for you and trusting that Our God has Great Plans for your life and many more days in store.

Margie - we're praying for you too! Wish we could be there to help pitch in at church, but I'm pretty sure that folks remember all the things that you have done for them and are anxious to return the favor.

Celebrating God's Faithfulness -
Steve & Sarah C.
