Went back for a visit- 30 days out of Rehab
Today Wednesday February 7th) was a walk through memory lane and an encouragement for us all! Driving down to Charlotte in the pouring rain was not a drive Chris missed. We thought we left in plenty of time, however, with some unexpected hold ups we arrived for our appointment about 10 mins late. Thankful they had grace and did not make us reschedule. Thinking of the possibility of having to reschedule this appointment and delaying the possibility of being able to decrease meds had my anxiety on high alert. This too was a test of trusting in the Lord- yeah, I failed! I was allowing my anxiety to rule my attitude which is never a good thing. I hate and love the calmness my hubby shows in times like these. I am pacing and he is as cool as a cucumber! Man to have the rest in the Lord that he does!!
We went back to Charlotte today for Tyler's 1 month check up with Dr. Pinto. Tyler surprised doctor Pinto with his progress. He is healing really well, we think judging by the reactions from others, that Tyler is healing faster than expected. Dr. Pinto was surprised to hear Tyker was back at work and is working on some high level things. He is moving a little slower through his work but it is right and he is accomplishing much. We now begin to scale back on meds and in 2 months we will schedule a driving test and Neuro testing to know how to proceed and know if any changes need to happen for school.
After our time with Dr. Pinto we went upstairs to see if we could visit any of our "old friends". It was a little surreal going back and walking through the halls we once knew so well. Seeing those we spent many hours with.
Tyler remembered very few people, it was a little weird for Tyler to not remember people and them being so excited to see him and know him. We got to see all his main therapist and a couple of the ones he saw once or twice.
This was an exciting yet a little nerve racking visit, it was good to see everyone and yet felt as if it had been so long since I had seen this place, and on the other hand it was a comforting place to visit. I wish Tyler saw this visit as encouraging as we did. He seemed bothered at the visit and when we spoke after he has hoping to be released from all meds immediately and get to drive really soon. He feels good and feels ready. Again another lesson for us of trusting in the Lord!
I know Tyler wants to get up and go, he feels ready!
Please pray that we will all trust in the Lord with the peace that surpasses all judgement and understanding. This is such a learning curve for all of us! I am thankful for a man who leads our home with peace and calmness, I know he says he feels differently on the inside but man, he is the only person I know and have witnessed telling someone they are not doing something (aka telling them off) in a calm manner. I think of a few verses when I witness the love of my life do this:
Philippians 4:5 Let your gentleness be evident to all. The Lord is near. 6 Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. 7 And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
1 Thessalonians 5:16 Rejoice always, 17 pray continually, 18 give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.
19 Do not quench the Spirit. 20 Do not treat prophecies with contempt 21 but test them all; hold on to what is good, 22 reject every kind of evil.
23 May God himself, the God of peace, sanctify you through and through. May your whole spirit, soul and body be kept blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. 24 The one who calls you is faithful, and he will do it.
Ways you can pray- Tyler's healing. Peace and patience in the healing process and not push too fast but push enough to challenge Tyler. Understanding and grace. For Tyler to be able to go back to school in the fall or if not to accept and trust in the outcome.
During the past few months we have all struggled through illness, friend issues, work issues and stress dealing with schoolwork and moving stress! Please pray for our whole family in and through these situations. Life seems to be showing us there is no guarantee on what tomorrow will bring.
Please pray for me as well- I am finding myself being overloaded and shutting down to family and friends. I really don't mean to be selfish but when I feel overloaded and stressed I want to do nothing but hide in my home and separate myself from the world. I also find myself forgetting lots of stuff and getting side tracked and not finishing what I started.
