love is patient

"4 Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. 5 It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. 6 Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. 7 It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. 8 Love never fails."

-1 Cor. 4-8a.


its been awhile since i wrote a blog. so lets see here...

the last time i wrote something we were at st. als in boise. david is now at southwest idaho advanced care hospital in boise. he's progressing really well, he's able to move his left hand really well, move his left leg all around, today he was trying really hard to move his right hand and did it but he tried way to hard. it pushed his heart rate up high and tuckered him out. he's definitely trying! he also got his trach out so he can talk whenever he wants to. he's trying to do that as well. the first time i heard noise come from him it freaked me out because he hadn't made a sound in 3 weeks. lol. he also is making moaning noises and he tries to talk, i will ask him some questions and he will open his mouth and try to answer. :) david today also in physical therapy tried pulling himself up and was almost sitting by himself. :) yesterday he moved his head, neck and all by himself, and he's almost looking to the right. :) he's made some massive improvements. the swelling in his head has gone down to where its starting to cave in. (its supposed to do that.) he also is moving the right side of his face, which now he can make a full smile! :)

david used to have a restraint on his left arm to keep him from pulling at things, they removed it yesterday, but i had to put it back on him today because he started itching at his head and pulling scabs off. :( sorry buddy! just trying to protect you. also because his head is caving in you can tell were part of the skull is gone so he feels that a lot and i don't want it to hurt him because i don't know how much pressure he's putting on his brain when he touches his left side of his head. so we are just trying to protect him. david has this awesome night nurse named melissa. she's great, i love knowing she's there to take care of david. she's one of the few nurses i like. he also had a good day nurse, brianne. she was really good with him as well. :)

one last thing, i meet david's new commander, (we are no longer in the boise company for recruiting.) he's now in the wounded warrior unit, so we get to meet his new commander and a major from cali. hopefully they can answer a lot of questions for me.

all in all david improves more and more each day! its a definite miracle. :) now its just a waiting period for him to get better, a definite test to test patience in love.
