Friday's Activities

Dustin and an eventful day. Starting with sitting up being moved from side to side all while his temperature was climbing. The Doctors let it climb because they agreed that the body raises its temperature to fight the stuff that is in the body.

Friday AM: The team is in now for the "road trip" They are assisting him in sitting in a chair off the bed and then moving him around the halls for a better view than he had looking up at the ceiling the past three weeks. great day. He just came back from a long walk. We went outside and sat on the roof looking out and enjoying the sun. We are fighting now the negative words coming out of his mouth as he tries to figure why things do not work like before. Some of the past is still hidden but with time all things will be revealed.

Ps. 17:4 ...by the word of thy lips I have kept me from the paths of the destroyerDustin is now sitting up in his chair out of bed for going on 1&1/2 hours with good vitals and breathing better. We are trying to get him transfered to Augusta Ga. Va. hospital spinal unit for his recovery. The Va will not pay for the air ambulance so pray for the funds to come to handle this trip. I am so proud of Dustin and am looking forward to our lives together.

MP is in route now from visiting mom in Va. Mom is in good spirits and joy is overtaking her. I know that God was and is there involved with her and all that she does. MP left her peace in the house...Ps. 25:4-5 Show me Thy ways, O Lord; teach me Thy paths, lead me in Thy truth, and teach me:.....I am looking forward to my brides return tonight. Ps. 29:11 The Lord will give strength unto His people; the lord will bless His people with peace. Until later God continues to bless us and you

Love, Rick & Mary Pat

Dear Rick and Mary Pat,

Firt time blogger. Pressing times force us to grow,even if is to learn to blog- a challenge when your years are ++.

As I prayed for you and Dustin today I asked Papa for a scripture and turned to Nehemiah 4, the enemy did not want the wall rebuilt, but God did. So everyone worked together, you are there, we are here. Each of us doing our jobs, the wall will be rebuilt. May you be encouraged.
