Enjoying life before the accident. Josh was about 14-15 years old. He and his friends made their own bike jumps.

About Me

My photo
We have 5 children and 5 grandchildren with one on the way. Eric and I were married in 1984 and are still together today. We met in church and raised our kids in that same church, We are still very involved at this same church. God has been there for us through many ups and downs in our family life. We have struggled with children with ADD, hyperactivity, strong wills, addictions, and one that became paralyzed at the age of 15 due to a car-pedestrian accident...he was the pedestrian. Eric and I have had to work through relationship issues (as do most couples), job loss, and financial problems. Even though we are believers, that doesn't mean we will never have problems. We just know that God is there for us through these struggles. There has been a lot of growth through these times.

More Updates



6-15-12  Update on Josh - A home-nurse came again today and watched Josh change the meds for his IV. He is a pro now. He knows what to do and is doing pretty well today. He is back to normal, except for the pressure sore issue. We are hoping to get that second opinion from another Infectious Disease doctor concerning the amount of time needed before the flap surgery on the pressure sore.

Eric and I had a date night tonight. We went out for dinner. It was great to just relax and have a nice dinner out together. We brought home leftovers that were quickly polished off by our starving children that were left behind. :)

I heard a wonderful song on the way to work this morning. I did post it a couple hours ago here on FB. The Hurt and the Healer by MercyMe.  (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mxqfDs-64I0&feature=share)   It brought tears to my eyes. They were actually tears of joy and thankfulness. We are the "hurt" and when we collide with the Healer (God), wonderful things happen...the hurt get well or blessed in some way. I am truly blessed. God is with us every step of the way helping us and even carrying us at times. He allows opportunities of trials in our lives so that we will grow closer to Him and also glorify Him. For all those who are hurting in your lives, I hope you collide with the Healer.

Keep the prayers coming. We still have a long road ahead. We are human and will definitely falter at times, but your prayer support will lift us back up during those times. Love you all,
Sue

6-24-12  It looks like Josh's surgery will NOT take place this Tuesday. He has an appointment set up for Friday with the plastic surgeon. We will learn more at that time. It is probably good that they wait a bit before having the surgery to give the antibiotics time to work on the bone infection. We will keep you posted.
