Wednesday Night

Dad had a good evening. He ate a good bit of his "full liquid" dinner again...and is surely enjoying all of that ice cream! After working hard to eat (and to entertain his ever-so-demanding girls who won't stop asking him questions or checking on how he feels), we decided to let dad rest.

While he rested, we were able to enjoy a good meal with good friends. We are thankful that tonight we were able to laugh and remember that while we have a long road ahead, sometimes its the small steps that count.

Now that dad is out of the ICU, we are actually able to stay with him overnight. That was one of the first questions he asked when they wheeled him into the new room and he noticed the sleeper sofa. So....Matt and Katie are sharing a small, cozy (and surprisingly dark & quiet) room with dad for the night. We hope that he will feel better rested tomorrow and prepared for another day of growing strength.

We are ever grateful for all of your prayers, support, and love. Keep it coming!

  11. Thank you for creating this blog so we can keep up with Tim's progress. What a frightening experience! Tim has been in my prayers ever since I learned of this. I will continue to pray for full recovery for Tim, for abiding faith and hope for Karen and the girls, and for wisdom and caring hearts for his doctors and nurses. May you all feel God's presence every minute of every day.
