Rusty update IV ...

Rusty :
The neck brace is off. He did break his neck and has lost 20% of his neck movement. He can feel his legs and they are still saying he won't be able to walk. However, there seems to be the hope that with therapy he can defy the odds. They will soon send him home in a wheel chair where he will go to his local hospital for therapy. No, Chicago for rehab is out of the discussion.

He had a bladder infection and they treated him like he had an infectious disease!

Robin & Martin :
(parents) Robin was very upset by the hospital's care of Rusty over the bladder infection. By the weekend though her mood has shifted to a better state. What do you expect? You want the best care for your child!

Corey :
My little bro has been caring for Corey on Tuesdays. They have been hitting it off quite well. Corey trusts him. The attention span is quite short and that is a challenge. Like playing outdoors, it is a minute on the swing and inside they go. Walks seem out of the question. Corey likes to ride in cars. So little bro might take him for a spin in his jeep. But with gas prices and carrying precious cargo, this is a pray request.

other thoughts :
Salvation and building of faith ...
Bringing together of family and marriage not tearing apart ...
Rusty just moved into his own place. Now what ? Redesigning the place if not renting, look for another place, or move back home ...
Rusty's spirit ... that is ready for this battle ahead and that he can keep upbeat. 22 yrs old ....

Tuesdays w/ Corey

The Lord Himself goes before you
& will be with you.
He will never leave you nor forsake you.
Do not be afraid; Do not be discouraged.
