Great Day!

What a great day today was. Except for the early morning. Dan did great, he likes mornings, but I don't do mornings well and found myself racing to get ready and out the door, but we got to Dan's PT appointment on time. Dan's therapist is Richard, and he worked Dan hard. And Dan loved it. Dan's goal is to be able to walk without the walker, so it's a lot of leg lifts, squats, stretches, and just walking. Dan has "homework", exercises he has to do-5 sets twice a day. We'll see Richard twice a week, next time on Wednesday.

We had a little break between PT (8-9am) and Pacemaker check (10:15am) so we had breakfast in the cafeteria. A nice rest, although PT says "rest is rust", yikes.

Pacemaker check went well, Dan's heart is in sinus rhythm and pacemaker is working fine. Dan has 3 more weeks until he can lift more than 8 pounds and lift his left arm above his shoulder.

We boxed up more books to send back home, now we can finally see the carpet in our room. Tonite we're watching the finale of Dancing with the Stars - we think Brooke will win, but we love to watch Warren.

And we got a call from the disability insurance agent today, who told us they will be sending us a sizable check for monies they should have been paying us (it's a long story), and mahalo to Pastor Derrick for all you did to make this happen. God spoke to Dan in the hospital, clearly telling Dan that He would provide for our every expense during this journey, and this unexpected gift looks like the beginning of God's fulfillment of his word to Dan. We can't wait to see how God will provide for the rest of the bills, including the 6-figure charge for Dan's liver transplant.

"God is the one who began this good work in you, and I am certain that he won't stop before it is complete on the day that Christ Jesus returns." Philippians 1:6 CEV
