Thursday, July 31: Yesterday Dane sang the song “Rise and shine and give God the Glory glory……”He Yesterday was a great day and I was so overtaken with the thought of coming home, that I never even talked about it. He continues to do something new everyday. I know he gets tired of me telling him how awesome he is! We are gaining ground in short term memory. I think that in part, it may be the things we ask him about (Like what did you have for breakfast, what day is it) just really don’t matter to him. BUT he has absolutely been able to tell everyone what day he is going home! He can also tell you what he wants to do – rope a calf and go fishing…….. I have shared things that were very hard for me – like the child life room. Today was another one of those days. When we started therapy, we went to the gym and it was soooo overwhelming to Dane – I remember they put him on these handrail bars to walk along and he required total assistance. There was a balance beam in the way so they had to move it for Dane to use the handrails. I remember that day thinking how dangerous that would be for Dane and it crushed me. Well today, we saw that beam again – in the middle of the room with no rails. He walked it – all by himself!!!!!!!! I stood there crying in the gym in front of a whole group of business type people touring the facility. I was so overjoyed as God proved Himself once again. VICTORY!!! We learned to get in and out of the car today and to celebrate we all went on a dinner date with Marmie and Poppy. We just went down the street as Dane said he wanted Mexican. So we get in the car and Diran and I start crying. We were in a car with our sweet baby with us – sitting in a seat, talking up a storm – Glory to God!!!!!! Dinner was great and Dane ate amazingly well!! He ate an entire plate of beef enchiladas! Apprently, we just haven’t been feeding him the right stuff!! We came straight back so we could get an early night - well we tried to have an early night. Our last sleep in the hospital……. I can’t believe its here. I am so thankful, humbled, tearful, joyful, and absolutely OVERWHELMED….. Saturday is a benefit youth rodeo for Dane in our county that has entries from I think I was told 4 states, almost 500 entries. We are beyond humbled by this. Not just the event itself but the people who have sacrificed to come and compete, to organize this whole thing –not a small feat, donated to this event of time, resources and talents, We just can’t take it all in. I am in awe of each of you and unable to even find the words to express the love and gratitude I have for each of you. Thank you is just not enough. I pray God’s richest blessings on each of you. So tomorrow…………………..we come home………….I look back on the last 10 weeks and the thing that is most prevalent to me is the unavoidable presence of God and the absolute God given strength He has given me to walk this road. People say – God won’t give you more than you can handle. Yes, He will. But it’s not more than He can handle. Praise the Lord that He will carry us. I know we have more “road” to go but I know that He has it…..as Shenna said “God’s got this!” and I know we are victorious!!! “God will strengthen you with His own great power, so that you will not give up when trouble comes but you will be patient. And you will joyfully give thanks to the Father who has made you able to have a share in all that He has prepared for His people.” Colossians 1:11-12 GLORY TO GOD……SUNDAYS COMING…….
