Eldon’s Independence is coming soon.

Thank~you to the men and women, and their families in the Military !!! We SALUTE you

For the last 16 days we have been under siege in a foreign place. It is the land of tubes, monitors, sounds of machines, vocabulary challenges, (wish I talked Doctorease a little better) and daily motor trips to Rogue Valley Hospital. It becomes a time to think, to weep, to process all that you've heard, to praise.

In this uncertainty my heart is both broken, and yet sings with thanksgiving. Everyday we catch glimpses of improvement, and marvel at Eldon's progress. What an awesome God we have! Today, July 3rd, Eldon was breathing on his own for 8 hours!! His responses seemed more purposeful, from holding hands, hmmm I like that one:) to wiggling toes and pumping his right leg, and giving the Doc a thumb's up. The plan tomorrow is to do the same, NO breathing machine. The care team will also have Eldon sitting in a chair, this will help with his breathing.

THANK~YOU! Your prayers, your love, and your encouraging words have knitted a colorful hammock of strength.

THANK~YOU! For walking this journey with us.
