Hey Friends,
This is Odie checking in for this Friday's post. Here is the latest update on my Dad. He continues to work hard on the road to recovery!
Davy Update
Dad has now finished 7 days of inpatient rehab. He has 4 more days to go. The therapists say he is making great strides, but it is honestly hard for him to see the progress himself. Mom can see his coordination improving.
There was an interesting facet to rehab Thursday. They had Mom bring the green machine to the outside door and he loaded in several times using the walker and using the wheelchair. He really did good with that. The Jeep seat is a little higher; they said they will try that later as well.
I pray he keeps gaining ground each day. He is giving it his all! I can tell he is tired. I also see he is getting stronger. Thank God for daily strength!
Most days, I only get to see him for a little bit. This week, I was able to hug him. That was one of the best things I have felt in a long time! I love my Dad so much!
Family Time
I spent several hours with Gran, Papaw, Uncle Steve and Aunt Karen yesterday! The extra family time is an added blessing for me in the last two weeks.
My family members are lifesavers for me. I have not worried about food, rides, and whatever I need!. I am so thankful for all of our family!
Happy Birthday, Gran
We have a big birthday today in our family. I could not let this day pass without a bit of fanfare for my Grandmother.
Happy 75th birthday, Gran! We love you so much! You are a wonderful Mother and Grandmother! We feel blessed to call you Mom and Gran!
Some of the family had planned a surprise party for her last weekend. From the beginning of the planning, I knew that we would not be home for the party.
Well, things changed. We were home, but we were at the hospital all day. Thanks to our Morgan family for understanding why we could not be there to celebrate in person!
Below is a picture my cousin sent me from the party. They were all able to pull off the surprise and treat Gran for her birthday. It looks like they had a great party!
I am incredibly proud of the family for not spilling the beans! That was quite the task for a few members of the family! Gran is hard to surprise.
Thanks for stopping by to visit with us! See you tomorrow!

Thankful that our God walks with us through the dark places. And even if we don’t get instantaneous results, HE faithfully walks with us, giving us grace to go on until the time of our deliverance comes. He is ALWAYS on time! This week I have been thinking a lot about the song, He Giveth More Grace! How could we endure without our Lord ad His matchless grace?! Still praying and believing!
