Cathie Update 12/29/2007
12/29/07 Update on Cathie
It has been comforting to us to receive your emails, flowers, visits, and telephone calls.
I read each email to Cathie, tell her who called, show each flower when she is having good moments and sometimes not so good to help take her mind off of the pain.
What you do reminds me of 2 Corinthians 1:3-4 “and the God of all comfort, who comforted us in our troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves have received from God.”
Cathie has been up more today. Walking much more, but very stiff, sore, painful, and runs out of energy pretty quickly, but getting better. Her surgery continues to show success. Tonight we are praying for a better night of sleep.
We started a medication transition today and I was very happy the way she was able to walk. We went 200-300 feet each time for quite a few trips. When she gets bored of being on her back, we take a walk. As we walked today the overall spine showed improvement. She no longer needs to be on oxygen and her lungs are improving.
They took an x-ray today to see how the surgery is doing after Cathie has been up on it a few times. We believe everything is going fine given her progress.
Overall we continue to see improvement. Just like an old song I just remembered, “One Step at a Time Sweet Jesus.”
We thank you for your prayers.
May the Lord richly bless you!
Thank you,
Homer

It is so good to hear of your progress and know that God is healing you! Praise Him for He is Good! And I must add that Homer has been exceptional in keeping all of us updated. What a great guy! Once you have gained some strength I will call you. Linda and I have you and Homer on a number of prayer chains in Baytown and we want to keep you guys there. God Bless both of you and we thank Him that your lives were spared.
