A Week Home

Good evening,

I just realized that it was Saturday, time for another update. Ryan is here for the weekend, he got in last night and will stay till Sunday evening. They both really look forward to the weekends together.

Rachel's week was good. She had her HBOT twice on Wednesday and Friday and will go 3 days next week as well. We had our first snow storm on Thursday, so she didn't make it into town for her PT session. It seems to be emotional on Rachel to be home. I know that she really enjoys being home and being in a familiar environment and surrounded by lots of people who deeply care for her. But, being home must be hard because it is a constant reminder of all the things that Rachel can't do, yet. Like walking through the kitchen, but not being able to make a meal for the family like she used to. Rachel said that it was hard to just sit there after a meal is over and not help clean up afterwards.

Rachel's right hand is still improving, she noticed yesterday that she is starting to regain control over her ring finger. Before, she couldn't move it.

Continue to pray for Rachel's spirits, we know that disposition one of the keys to health.

Thank You!

I've been checking the blog today (Wed) and it finally dawned on me that with no electricity you probably won't be updating today!

I hope your power returns soon.
We did not lose power in rural Johnson, but many just south of us did. Emily and Allyn in Manhattan, KS are still without power.

So glad to hear that you are at home and amongst the family. I'm sure it will continue to be a mix of emotions. We'll continue to pray for strength and the ability to notice the little changes! God Bless and I hope that you are all staying warm. We just saw some ice storms on the news! ~Gretchen
