Tough decisions

Dad got to come home (again) tonight. He is so thankful to see his new granddaughter, Grace! :) She is ADORABLE! Such a sweet 10-day-old baby!

Todd and Micah arrived safely, which is a blessing!

Dad is feeling a little better today. They have started him on a new blood thinner (again- this is like the 3rd one) and an entire regimen of pills...it could be overwhelming, but Jenny is all over it!!

The effects from the stroke are not the most comforting to see, but we are praying God will continue to help him with his face (left side) and the other lingering results.

The family had a tough meeting tonight to discuss some hard questions, but it was so great to see Dad come out of the medicine fog and be "dad" again. That, in and of itself, was probably the best thing that has happened in several days....

He continues to be in good spirits despite all the doctor's news. It's comforting to see a peace come to him. He is relentless in his praying and praising! I am learning so much from him.

Please continue to pray. He has some more difficult days ahead, but God is good....now and always. We know He will see Dad through this. Jenny is doing well, too. She continues to treat my Dad like the treasure he is! We're so thankful for her!

God bless you all!
