Robert made it through his first week back to work “full-time”! I use “full-time” a bit loosely because he only had one day that he was at school for his full shift. The other days he had appointments that took him away part of the day – physical therapy 2 different days, a consultation with a diabetic dietician one day and orientation at cardiac rehab on another day. He was very tired in the evenings until Friday – for some reason he wasn’t as tired at the end of the week. I think that is called answer to prayer and stamina building! Next week he has several appointments, including another CT scan of his pancreas to check on the healing process and a follow-up with his cardiologist. He also starts cardiac rehab on Wednesday, which will be 3 days a week for the next several months. Getting well makes for a busy schedule!
We are enjoying driving our van with a new set of tires on it, thanks to the anonymous giver through Les Schwab! What a great gift that brings us reassurance of God’s care. We would really like to drive those new tires to California for Christmas and we were even given some money that will help pay for our travel. I think Robert’s mom and sister would really like to see in the flesh their son and brother after this traumatic journey! However, we kind of forgot we have a dog…when I called the kennel last week, they laughed when I asked if there was any room to board Sadie over the holidays. Normally we would book the kennel in September for Christmas, but we were a bit preoccupied then. Robert, ever the optimist, called the kennel again this morning, because he knows there are cancellations. They didn’t laugh at him…they said they would check the schedule and get back to us! So, please pray for a spot to open for Sadie so we can travel…if that is the best thing for us to do. Robert has been hesitant to commit to travel due to the ongoing discomfort from his bed sore and the thought of sitting for so many hours. Since he called the kennel this morning, I guess he is up to giving it a try.
Thanks for continuing on our journey and for continuing to pray. It is great to have a God that listens to requests for tires and dog kennels…and moves in response to the faith of his people.

I heard you speak at EBC for the dessert and you did such a fantastic job at inspiring us to make Jesus "Immanual", God with us.
Thanks for writing about your journey. It helps to know how to pray and also be encouraged as God visibly works in your lives.
Praise God for His many blessing. May He continue to be your guide through your journey.
In His Peace;
Pete
