Time definitely takes its toll on bodies, no matter who we are sooner or later something gives out!
I have a friend who suddenly without warning lost sight in one eye. She, so youngish-seeming, will turn 70 at the end of the year, Lord willing, but oh, adapting to one-eyed vision is such a test!
Hard to drive, hard to read, hard to judge distance! Will you pray for her encouragement?
Jenny 15 yrs. old, one day a school-girl, the next in hospital with no feeling in her legs, then a cancer diagnosis, still in hospital and undergoing chemo-treatments!
Please pray for her and her family's encouragement!
I have a brother whose journey of healing after a fall at work in June is a huge test of patience for someone who loved work, and life! Will you pray for him and his family and their encouragement?
We all deal with small surrenders as we age, no matter how hard we fight;-)
Time takes its toll...on all but Soul!
Let's pray for each other's encouragement to fight the good fight!
We must pay closer attention, therefore, to what we have heard, so that we do not drift away.
For if the message spoken by angels was binding,
and every transgression and disobedience received its just punishment,
how shall we escape if we neglect such a great salvation? Heb. 2:1-3
Dave update: It's been a while! but the journey is on-going.
(for previous updates click on Dave and Karen in labels section at the bottom of the post)
Yesterday he had an appointment with a specialist in Toronto.
Here is an update from Dave's wife, Karen.
Hi Everyone
Here is the update from today's appointment
Today we went to meet with the specialist in Toronto. Came out of it with a lot of mixed emotions.
He has two problems. First is that he has a frozen shoulder, 2nd that
the tear of the rotor cuff is so large not sure if surgery will even
work.
He said surgery would not have happened right now anyways
until we get the frozen shoulder fixed. He said that Dave's shoulder
just doesn't move at all and has no strength in it. So he will be in
contact with Dave's Physiotherapist in Elmira and let him know what he
wants him to work on with him. Once we get that fixed then I think we
will meet with the specialist again and go over our options.
I
was kinda surprised,( I was sure that he would have surgery and it would
be fixed) so at the appointment we didn't ask a lot of questions, but
of course thought of a lot of questions that we should have asked on our
way home - First we need to get the frozen shoulder gone- and see if
that helps him to move that right shoulder and arm.
The one good thing is Dave doesn't have any pain with that arm ( unless of course he moves it the wrong way)
2nd is I was so worried about Dave going under for surgery with his
lung - but I don't have to worry about that now. I know that God has the
right time for everything, so please remember us in your prayers for
us to have the patience we need with this part of his healing.
Dave ribs are still sore, but we know they said that that can take up to 6 months and we are not at 4 months yet.
Have a great weekend.
