Still here! Still taking life moment by moment, hour by hour, day by day!
Tyler is still trying hard when awake to get up and get out. We are in a tough spot, they want him to eat yet they dont always bring him his meals. He ate some yesterday, he is not eating enough to get the tube out. (Prayer request!l
I have thought so many times i wanted to write about how awesome Ashley has been. She has become our help, counter part, and has taken on just as much of the care for Tyler as we have. We have broke the shifts down to 8hr shifts. Ashley has been the biggest blessing! We have become so close to her over the last 10 days. She has given of herself so much. While she has been here attending to Tylers needs she has been finishing her classes. Thankful her teachers have allowed her to do work online and even stretched out due dates. It doesvbreak my heart to know while being here to help take care of Tyler Ashley lost her job.! I am thankful she lives at home and her parents are supportive of her being here the whole time. She could not do it if her parents were not so understanding. Her mom Lisa brought her up here the night of the accident and stayed with her and my sister all night in the waiting room.
I do not see how after the last 10 days things could ever go back to how they were with Ashley. Not that they were bad or anything. We have climbed to a point of intimacy with her that will never go away. She has given so much of herself for my son. She has done so much, more than any 20 year old could do for my son. For that i am eternally grateful. I thank mynp Lord for her, and pray for her daily. She is a very special young lady to us! Words can never express the gratefulness we have for her. She will ALWAYS hold a special place in my and Chris' heart.
Tyler has been moved to progressive care. This means he does not need to be in ICU any longer. He does not need that kind of care. We still are concerned that until his mental state gets to know where he is and why that he will wiggle his way out of bed and get hurt. He is progressing and its all baby steps, resting in the Lords peace is the only way.
I honestly don't know how you go through this without the assurance of the Lord. I know i could not. I am not strong, I am weak, I am fearful, I am anxious, I would go through a sea of "what ifs" and "why me". All these things would be in my strength and are in my strength when i go down that path. Then i am reminded that the Lord says "do not be afraid. I am with you all the days of your life". It is only with the Lords help i can stand, i may shake and tremble but the Lord is my strength and the only way i can get through the tough times.
