Two weeks home....

Hey all,

I know that you guys are used to Roberts dad updating this blog. But, Robert, the kids and I are home now as our own little family of four. We got home 8/7, and Robert got home 8/8 around 5. Trying to adjust, get into a routine, learning how things work for us at home. So far, we are learning the small adjustments we will be making here and there around the house. The small modifications that our landlord did were great, but there are still a few more that we are noticing that need to be done to make things more easier for all of us.

• Ramps for the thresholds, removing some carpet so that we can easily move his wheelchair around the house. Rearranging furniture as well.

Robert went to his Outpatient Rehab Evaluation at West Texas Rehabilitation Center here in San Angelo on Monday. Everything went very well. Everyone, therapists included seem really excited and positive about Roberts future return, and the possibilities he could have. He will have his first complete co-treated session with his OT/PT on this upcoming Monday.

Its so awesome to see how encouraged a therapist is after they meet Robert and see his attitude, and his current progress. I have tried to constantly stay hopeful of what I THINK or have FAITH that he can accomplish in the months/years to come. My God is a mighty God, and prayer, and personal faith is an righteous thing. I'm glad I have been doing both, as I know so many of you all have too. I do understand that things will take time, that things don't happen overnight. I am humbled to know that I, as well as so many of you, are right there with me being his cheerleaders, his support. Even if it is through prayer. So many have said that they don't know what else to do BUT pray. That is most definitely MORE than I could ever ask of anyone to do for us.

Continued Prayer needs:

• For Workers Compensation to Approve the Van that we need for Roberts Power Wheelchair that is being delivered withing the next 8 weeks. (we hope)


• Location of a Doctor here in San Angelo and a scheduled appointment for all his needs to stay in place in the future. (Outpatient Rehab, Home Health, Prescriptions)


• Caleb, he starts school next Monday.


• For me. This is by far the most difficult thing I have ever done in my entire life. Emotionally, Physically, and Mentally. Honestly, I have good days and bad. Good hours and bad hours, etc. I can openly admit that I struggle. I don't do this for a living, and I hope that anyone that does wouldn't expect me to swallow this whole, and be able to be superwoman from the get go. I'm doing my best.


• Robert and I are both struggling and I don't think that its a bad thing to admit. Please pray for us and our relationship.

Thanks to everyone.
