People call Wednesday “Hump Day.” It’s that day in the week that you have to endure to get over the hump toward the weekend. I’ve personally always liked Wednesdays. As a pastor, I think that is rare. It may be because our church family doesn’t have activities on Wednesday nights, except for a small group or two. Our philosophy is to free up folks to be the church in their activities rather than busying them with so many “church” activities.
Mom is trending well in most areas. Even still, it has been a tough week watching her be so “out of it” mentally. It is probably due to some new drugs they are giving her. Nonetheless, she is not as clear. There is more confusion.
She is talking better and better. The physical therapists are working her hard. She is beginning to roll over in bed a little better on her own strength. That’s a big deal. Not sitting up on her own yet. But they are working her toward it.
What really needs to fall into place right now? The logistics for replacing her cranium piece needs to come together. There has been difficulty getting the surgeons to communicate and commit to a time. We are hoping by early next week, there will be a clear plan for the when and where and how long. Once that is done, moving Mom back to Orlando will be a lot closer.
I’m flying out this weekend. In fact, they just called my boarding group. So, I guess I will wrap up. Erik gets into town in about an hour. I will be back Monday morning on an early flight.
Very thankful for yall. Happy 4th of July!!! Thankful for our independence to use caring bridge and share life with so many of you. Thank you.
