Hey Friends,
This is Odie reporting with the 1/11 Thursday Davy Update. Yesterday was a day full of activity. It was preparation day at the beach cottage.
I have opened my home to my parents for my Dad's home recovery process. I am happy to share my beach cottage with them for as long as they need to stay! God blessed me with an accessible home. Now, I can share my blessing with them.
Aunt Karen and Uncle Steve have been our rocks during the last 13 days! I can not begin to adequately thank them for all they have done to make this as easy for us as they can.
They organized everything to get my home ready for Dad's arrival. Things were set in place yesterday here at home for his pending release from rehab.
Yesterday afternoon, the rehab told us that Dad will have therapy all day Monday. Then, he will be sent home that evening, ready or not. It is an insurance decision, and we knew that was a possibility.
Steve and Karen, with the help of one of Dad's nephews, Luke Osborn, Cousin Lisa Isaacs, and the Stansell family from our church at Dryden Road, set up a bed In my second bedroom for my parents to use. They also fetched the recliner from Dad's study upstairs.
We had them bring Dad's exercise bike from upstairs into the garage. I pray Dad will soon feel up to riding his bike again. He loves riding the bike!
Here are a few pictures I snapped during the excitement yesterday. I have not been in much of a picture-taking mood since most of the time we have been at the hospital/ rehab.
Also, Lisa helped me get my desk into my room on Tuesday evening. She also came Wednesday morning to help me give the office an extra cleaning. It was time to officially make it a bedroom for my parents.
Tim and Luke finished clearing the room.
Bringing in the bed for the new bedroom setup.
Thank you to Steve and Karen for allowing us to use a bed they own.
Getting the bed in place.
Ready for Mom and Dad.
This is my 21 year old "little" cousin Luke. Thanks, Bucko, for using part of your day to help us! He will head back to Kentucky for college this weekend. I am going to miss him!
What would we do without Lisa and Karen? I do not want to know the answer to that question. They are extraordinary ladies! We are privileged to have them in our lives!
The helpful crew, Luke, Tim, Rick and Stephanie.
This is Uncle Steve and Rick taking a break after the work was finished.
So thankful for my precious friend Stephanie. She is always there to help me!
I feel much more at ease knowing that we are prepared. It was good to spend some time with my family. We worked, laughed, and we prayed for a miracle!
Thanks for stopping by to visit with me today. Please keep the prayers going! God is hearing each prayer! See you tomorrow.
Odie
