Molly on the Mend 7.18.07

We've been home for two days now and Molly is improving quite a bit.  She has been up and around all day today, rarely taking a rest, and often itching to get up and be with the family.  My brother and his family watched our kids for 6 days and brought them home yesterday.  Great to see them and hug their neck (sorry, spent some time in the south).  Mostly I'm just really encouraged today by Molly's progress.  She has still had some head/neck pain, but nothing unexpected.  I can take off the top dressing tomorrow and she can wash her hair for the first time in a week.  She is looking forward to that!

A few of Molly's church friends came over for a visit this afternoon.  She enjoyed the visit and let me leave the house for a bit to work. 

We have been very blessed as our church members have planned many dinners for us beginning tomorrow.  I think they have them planned for a couple of weeks.  Nice.  And how cool is this, someone out of the country sent us $100 to buy the kids something after they got home.  So many good things out of a bad situation.

I'll try to keep you all in the loop, and thanks for praying.

In spite of my marathon over at TeamPyro this week, I have been out of the blogospheric loop since the Founders conference, and somehow I missed this.

In church talk, I'd say, "my prayers are with you," but as a husband and a father I say, "He who has found a wife has found a good thing." God be with you as you stand by your wife when she's on the mend.

Grace and Peace.

Very glad to hear of Molly's progress and how your church is taking good care of y'all. Hug your neck is a Southern thing? (I never realized being from down here.) Will continue praying for her comfort and recovery and for you and the kids too.

It's encouraging to read about the way you've stood by and walked with your wife during this ordeal. Thanks for letting us here in the "blog world" get a glimpse of how the Lord is working. Admirable, sir.

Dear Steve:
I've also been on a study break and missed what was happening. So sorry you've had to go through this. My wife Kathy has also had health problems and surgery in the last few years. It certainly does wear you down, but it also binds you together and brings the kind of love for each other than only suffering can give you. We'll pray for you. Give Molly my regards.

Molly/Steve,

Tina & I were out of the country last week, so we missed all the fun. Glad to hear that everything went well with Molly's surgery. Please tell Molly we're praying for her.

Steve & Molly,
So glad to hear that everything is going well with Molly. I have been thinking of her for the past couple of weeks and have been checking your blogs numerous times daily. Molly will continue to be in my heart as her recovery continues.

Love,
Ryan
