Home Sweet Home

Author: Casey | Posted in: Home Life & Family, Spiritual

nullMy dad is finally back home! He was released from the hospital this morning, and he sounded very glad to be out of there. He’s still on the feeding tube, but at least he can relax in a comfortable setting.

A nurse will come by everyday to change out his fluids and check on him. His diet will still be pretty restricted, so he’ll just take it slow in the beginning. He’s pretty much just on clear liquids and maybe a few popsicles, but I know that everyday he will continue to improve and will eventually be able to eat everything he used to (With the Lord’s help!).

I’m so proud of my dad. I always knew that he was a very strong, persevering person, and to watch him over these past few weeks has just confirmed everything I always knew about him. I can’t even begin to imagine how hard of a struggle this has been for him, but I’m just so proud of the way that he has stayed positive and optimistic through the whole ordeal.

WE LOVE YOU DAD!!

Again, I just want to thank everyone for their constant prayers on behalf of my dad. I know that his healing is a direct result of your peitions to God. Our family thanks you!

    Hi, Kurt and all! We are so glad to hear that you are back home! We love you and are continuing to pray for your healing! : )

    It was good to talk to you on the phone. We are going to Red River tomorrow. Angela and children came on Monday. Angela broke her ankle on Tuesday and required some serious surgery. We have been keeping the children and doing the “hospital” thing. John will come tomorrow to take the group back. We continue to pray.

    Casey:

    I share your pride in your Dad’s strong, persevering spirit and upbeat attitude. He is in my prayers daily.

    His words of encouragement and hope following my serious surgery 14 years ago are fresh on my mind — and I will try finding a way to espress the same to him.

    Give Caleb a big hug and kiss for me, OK?

    Please communicate my love to Roxy, too.

    Blessings,
    Denny

    Happy birthday, Kurt! Actually, I’m not even sure if your birthday is this year or not, but I really wanted you to know that I was thinking about you. I am at the Arnold’s home for the evening, and was checking up on my email when I came across this website. I remembered that haven’t heard much (or at least don’t remember hearing much), but I hope that things are coming along well, snd that we will be able to speak with one another soon. Having been in the rehabilitation phase myself, I will definitely remember you in my prayers, and I know that our God is good, and He will bring you out of this situation when the time is right. Bob just came in to pick me up, so I must bounce. Adios brother,

    Kurt:

    We are so glad that God is really watching over you and Roxy. And to think that you almost persuaded me to buy a motorcycle ;) You are clearly showing alot of resolve(intestinal fortitude may be a poor choice of words at this moment) and we know that God will continue to be your source of strength as you continue to overcome and press on to a full recovery.

    In Christian Love,

    Casey and Linda

    This is Friday, June 30th & Kurt is improving every day! He is eating soft foods now. He is still on the TPN (IV feeding) at night. He is very weak, but getting stronger every day. We give God the praise for his recovery! Thank you all so much for your love & prayers.
