12/28/2012 Update on Peter - A special visitor!

Good Evening,

I have been so thankful, and amazed, to see the progress that Peter has made even since a week ago, Sunday.  I walked into the room and informed Peter that he had special visitors today!

Darin K., a brother worker stopped by to say hi.  He used to live and sometimes go to the same meeting as Peter and his family, when they lived south of where they live now, so he stopped in to say hi!  :-D

Peter seemed quite tired, but I politely reminded him that we needed him to open his eyes and wake up, so we could chat with him as we had traveled to see HIM!

Guess what he did!  He said, "Okay." and pushed the button to set up and began chatting with us. 

Mom was with me and she was able to ask questions and get Peter to respond to all of us.




Darin, Peter, and Mom smiling away at the camera.

 I suppose it is only fair if the blogger/photographer join in for a smile or two with Peter & Darin.

I had the vibrant color mode on and it made the pictures blurry.  LOL.  So, black and white is the best viewing option.  I just realized those blinds sure make ones head/hair look somewhat funny!





Peter showed me that he is able to move his left leg some, and his left arm.  It does take alot of work to do so, but that is such a HUGE improvement over the prior visits.  He said his left arm was really hurting, and gave in to my offer of a gentle, massage.  He finally looked at me and politely let me know he was done with the massage after about five minutes!  LOL.  I am so excited to envision the progress that Peter will make as he improves even moreso at Craig Rehab Hospital in Denver.

I asked Peter if he would mind greeting everyone via video and this is his message to everyone!



Even though we have seen progress, Peter has a long ways to go.  His left arm, and leg, will need continuous extensive rehab to see if he can regain the mobility back in his left side as he once had.  We are hoping and praying for a miracle, but have settled it that we will be happy with the best Peter can do!  After all, we realize Peter's life is a miracle to all of us!


Maybe I will just close with a thought or two I have enjoyed lately ...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~ We would never know the worth of an anchor with out the stress of the storm.

~ Wheat needs to be crushed, leaven would have no power over the whole kernels of wheat.

~ Flowers give the same fragrance no matter where they are planted.

~ Our words are heard, our actions are seen, our spirits are felt.

~ We may be able to hide our thoughts, but we cannot hide results of them.

~ Satan would like us to love the things we will later on hate.  God wants us to love those things we will always love.

~ Jacob's love for Rachel did not measure time.

~ Ruth's love for Naomi did not measure distance.

~ Mary's love for Jesus did not measure cost.

Thanks again to all who continue to remember Peter, and family, in your thoughts and prayers.

Have a wonderful weekend !!!!
