Such answers to prayers
Oh the Lord is good, come and see the Lord is good to me.
5For the LORD is good;
His lovingkindness is everlasting
And His faithfulness to all generations. PSALM 100
8O taste and see that the LORD is good;
How blessed is the man who takes refuge in Him! PSALM 34
The last two days have been good days. I am continually amazed at how the Lord Jesus is healing Tyler. I am amazed to see the power of prayer. We can see the Lord at work in and through Tyler. He has remembered and talked about more accurately these last two days. It is so refreshing to see moments and time spans of the old Tyler coming back. It is as if we are sitting here watching his brain heal.
We continue to plead with the Lord for Tyler's healing. We know he will not want to live with people by his side. We know he will want to get back to his life independently from us. We pray that he will know a little the impact he has made in peoples lives. We pray he will read over all the messages and know he is loved.
How many times do we think we do not mean anything to anyone, or that we are forgotten in peoples lives. We never know the impact we make in other peoples lives. We don't know the impact our loved ones make in other peoples lives.
Sitting by my sons side i get the opportunity to see the impact he has made. Tyler is quiet and a man of few words on the outside. On the inside he is a goof ball and a sweet caring guy. If you don't know him in this way, i am sorry. He hides it pretty well. He holds a lot more in than i ever knew.
Through this healing process we have rejoiced in the good moments and prayed through the hard. All in all, the Lord is good and He is in control. The Lord is in control of what the rest of Tyler's life looks like. We don't know the end of his healing, it could be years til he is completely healed.
I can say watching this process makes me realize life is moment by moment. Way too often I look forward to tomorrow or next week, next month and miss what is right in front of me. We are literally watching Tyler's brain heal. We are watching him remember things this afternoon he could not remember this morning. We are listening to him recall things that happened.
I know our family is anxiously awaiting him to be able to not be so over stimulated so they can come see him. Even when they can come see him, visits have to be limited to 5 - 10 mins and only 1 at a time with either Chris, Ashley or I until we can train others how to handle Tyler's brain injury.
These last two days and nights Tyler has done really well. We are excited. He has a long way to go, not as long as he could have honestly. Which I am grateful for.
Please continue to pray as we witness baby steps. Pray for Tyler's healing for Tyler to sleep through the night and willingly take meds. Which you can thank the Lord Tyler has swallowed all meds today. He has asked questions about them and asked me if he should take them. He is answering questions more appropriately today as well. Please pray for continued processing of commands and comprehension of things told to him. Pray for us to be reminded and encouraged even when the hard times come. Please pray that Tyler will understand and abide by doctor commands even when he feels fine. Please pray for Tyler to trust our judgments and not his own. I am reminded of Proverbs 3:7 - to not be wise in your own eyes. This will be a challenge- as we have meet a friend whose hubby cannot dress himself and some other judgments and he is determined he can drive a car. We are thankful Tyler can dress himself and feed himself. He can do most major muscle memory items. It is the reasoning part of his brain that needs healing.
Thank-you for your continued prayers. Please pray Tyler will be discharged close to his goal date of Dec. 29th and that coming home will not be over stimulating.
Pray as our Christmas will look really different this year that we will focus on the birth of our Savior, the lord Jesus Christ and be thankful for the healing of Tyler. Too much we get bound up on the gifts and fun of Christmas!
Oh and don't worry- one way or another we will ALL be together for Christmas!! At least that is my plan- Mom, Dad, Tyler, Kyle, Allee, and Carmen. I hope Ashley is with her family as well that day. We would welcome her to stay she is part of the family, and if her family joined us that would be ok too!! We have been through a lot together!
Until then we are resting in the Lord focusing on Him for strength and taking it moment by moment, day by day.
