Monday Updates

I took the weekend off from updates - Thanks for understanding. Deb and the Kids and I spent a lot of time re-charging from the events of the last week. Dad and I had a safe trip up north to the funeral on Friday. It was a good but sad day. Some of my cousins were there and my Dad's sisters. It was great to do some reconnecting.

Kim is doing well at home. She continues to gain strength and energy. She really wanted to go to church on Sunday so they snuck in a little late and snuck out early but she was there! She is working on her therapy exercises every day at home and has appointments on Tuesday and Wednesday this next week in Lansing with her speech/occupational/physical therapists. They are still trying to get a good handle on what short and long term effects she injuries may or may not have. She has some work ahead of her to get ready for school in the fall but that tough little girl is up to it!

Mom is very frustrated. She really does not need to be at the hospital anymore - she should be in a rehab setting - but there are not beds available right now. They are working on getting her into someplace closer to Charlotte but it is not happening quickly. Dad was able to talk to his insurance folks today to calm some of his fears about costs that some of the hospital personnel had raised. There are a lot of details that need to be taken care of and it is very hard sometimes to navigate the waters to the right people to handle those details. Please pray for clarity of mind for him as he tries to keep everything straight.

Deb is arranging meals for Becky and Kirk and a few for Dad and Mom starting this week. If you would like to help please give her a call and she can work that out with you. Thanks again to all of you for your prayers and continued support. We love you very much.

Keep Praying
