Has it been so long?

I can't believe it's been so long since I've blogged!

I figured it was time for an update :)  Hunny is doing well I am happy to report.  It was a long 5 day stint in the hospital with severe reactions to meds :(  He went cold turkey when we got home, had a few challenges, but he's moving along.  We just had his two week, post-op, appointment and doc gave a big thumbs up!

The walking program consists of starting with 10 minutes a day.  We walked some today and he's sooo sore!  We will start with 5 minutes tomorrow I think.  By the time his  next appointment is here, a month away, he is to be walking 30 minutes every day.  Even if it's 15 in the morning and 15 in the evening.  Hard to believe that it's that slow, huh?  It's going to take time I guess.

One thing I have to confess too.... I was prepared to get very frustrated having to care for a grown man.  I can't tell you how AMAZING our God is!  I have found an even GREATER love for my husband than I had before :D  Isn't God FANTASTIC?!?!

There is always hope, peace and joy.  In every situation, a silver lining.  I pray this blog finds you seeking that out in whatever you may be facing this very minute.

My Hunny....

I've had quite the month of May and it would seem that June is trying to compete with it just a tad.  I know I've been a little quiet here lately and sorry to say, it's fixing to become quiet again.

My sweet, wonderful, precious, funny, GORGEOUS, loveable, husband has been experiencing EXTREME back pain since December.  His legs go numb, all the way to the ankles and toes sometimes.  We discovered he has an old spinal fracture that has caused his L5 vertebrae to slip out of place, slide forward and press on the nerve.

The answer.... surgery.  I'm going to have a little moment of transparency here... I'm kinda scared.  I know that our Heavenly Father is in control and I'm sooo glad He is.  I just can't seem to ignore my humanness and not have a twinge of the butterflies.  He will be in the hospital for 3-5 days and then lots of round-the-clock nursing from yours truly, for only God knows how long.

We leave tomorrow and the surgery is scheduled for Wed.  If you think about us, please say a prayer.  Peace, SWIFT healing, safety, peace.....
