Rallying!

It's been an interesting day, to say the least! This morning, as you can tell from my post, I thought Dad wouldn't make it through the day. There were a total of 7 visitors, and he rallied as the day grew older! I don't mean that he made a miracualous recovery, but he did stay awake for longer periods of time, even if his eyes were closed, and he acknowledged joyfully each person as they arrived! Jerry heated Dad a hamburger patty with gravy this evening and he insisted on feeding himself and ate all but one bite! That is in direct contrast to yesterday and days prior when he was too weak to feed himself and had no appetite. Is this the calm before the storm, only our precious Lord knows. We will see what tonight and tomorrow bring. I praise God for the outstanding home care assistance we have and for the added blessing of Hospice care. Nothing would make me happier than to cancel Hospice, but we will not make that move too quickly. Not that I am being pessimistic...just realistic.


But as for me, I will always have hope;
I will praise you more and more.
My mouth will tell of your righteousness,
of your salvation all day long,
though I know not its measure.
I will come and proclaim your mighty acts, O Sovereign Lord;
I will proclaim your righteousness, yours alone.
Since my youth, O God, you have taught me,
and to this day I declare your marvelous deeds.
Even when I am old and gray,
do not forsake me, O God,
till I declare your power to the next generation,
your might to all who are to come.
Your righteousness reaches to the skies, O God,
you who have done great things.
Who, O God, is like you?
Though you have made me see troubles, many and bitter,
you will restore my life again;
from the depths of the earth
you will again bring me up.
You will increase my honor
and comfort me once again.
Psalm 71


Until tomorrow...Love and Peace to each of you.
