Sunday Aug. 31
I stayed overnight with Melanie and awoke this morning to a very dark and dismal day. That was the view outside as I opened the blinds.
Inside the room was exactly the opposite. It's a gloriously bright day. His Light is shining down. Other than a few wires, tubes and bruises, Melanie is beginning to look like herself again. She has been walking great distances 3 times a day.
We have been trying to find a facility that can take her for rehab, but there are few medical facilities, including hospitals, that are capable of administering her IV medication, or even can afford to provide it.
Good news is that she has progressed so well that they are now considering letting her come home instead of going to a Long Term Acute Care rehab facility. This could happen within the next two or three days. We will, instead, be returning to St. Joseph's for our twice weekly pulmonary/physical therapy, as we had done for so many years. This is so much better for her than home health therapy because her time there is unlimited, they have a staff of physical therapists, and it's inside St. Joseph's Hospital should a medical problem arise.
He said to her, "Daughter, your faith has healed you. Go in peace and be freed from your suffering."
Mark 5:34
