Three and a Half Years

Yup! It HAS been that long. I'm very pleased to say that healing continues to improve!!! Praise God!!! Terry has commented that his overall pain levels are going down. Others have noticed that just looking on. Also, his abilities are expanding, too. He is walking better all of the time, and best of all, with more security! I haven't held on for his safety for a long time, and a couple of nights ago, we even forgot to put on the gait belt when he walked to bed! I think back to when I felt like I was personally almost carrying him, he leaned on me so much! It's WONDERFUL that he's come this far!!!

There is hope that they are going to change the filtration system in the pool. I may have written that I am allergic to the chlorine (something I FINALLY figured out after MANY problems!!!). When they do get it changed, we will begin water therapy again. Not formal therapy, but with me as the therapist. I HOPE it will bring added strength and stability. Only time will tell.

We are continuing with our ministry. We have made some VERY SPECIAL friends! We try to do what God would have us do. We visit more often, stopping by for a few minutes several days a week after we leave the gym. Then we also have the Bible study, once a month at one nursing home, and twice at another. We do a little bit of visitation at some hospitals as well.

I think that's about all for now. There are many things for you to keep in your prayers, though. There's praise for new life, but also petitions for those that are sick or hurting. There is SO much need around us!! We ask God to bless those that need Him, and to draw those that don't know Him.

I'll write again eventually. God bless you!! Lynn
