Praise the Lord for progress

It's Friday Nov. 12, and we are pleased at Peter's progress. Every day has it's painful challenges but we're reminded that sometimes "it hurts to heal". The nights are the most uncomfortable, probably because there are no distractions and the hours seem so long. The incision is definitely getting more tender as the swelling goes down, because the staples create quite a ridge on his back. The staples will be removed by a V.O.N on Monday. He is trying to walk around a lot and work through the pain. His sense of humour is returning full force, so we know things are improving. He is enjoying listening to the Old and New Testament on tape and being blessed by God's Word. We are very thankful for all the meals given to us as well as the cards of encouragement, and all the little things our friends are doing to make this time seem managable.
