Steven had a drain removed earlier this week but unfortunately had a new one inserted yesterday to drain an abscess. He is also still fighting a fever. I think once he can rid himself of this fever the healing will really begin. I am hoping to have Steven home for Christmas but only time will tell. He feels like his healing is going slower than it should but so long as it is headed in the right direction, we are happy.
Jake was here to visit today and will be back again tomorrow which is really nice. My dad is also talking about making an appearance. I would like him to come near the end of the month to drive us home - I hate driving in the snow.
Brent and Ruth planned to visit today but the snow kept them home. Definitely better to be safe this time of year. We hope to see them when we go home and stop in Salmon Arm on the way.
I can't believe Christmas is almost here. I will be celebrating whenever Steven gets home.
Love to all.
Tracy
we must be grateful for what we have. Steven is in good hands and progressing towards a complete healing no matter how long it takes. Christmas can be whenever we want to make it I hope your dad can come and drive you home. It will be good for you to see him no matter when he can make it.A hug from him can really make you feel better.I'm so happy you and Steven are getting some company. It makes you feel you are being loved and prayed for by many others. I don't think I have expressed myself very well but all I mean is I love you and want you all to be safe. Tons of love Aunty Donna.
ReplyDeleteI haven't had the chance to write for a bit but a day doesn't go by when I don't think of you three and your extended family and friends. Christmas is just a day....I have celebrated before and after the 25th. I am blessed that both kids will be here this year along with Tony. We are working on blending traditions and setting aside some that have too many memories attached. The beautiful thing about James' age is that he will never know the difference. The beautiful thing about you Tracy is that you want your family together for Christmas, and Steven the beautiful thing about you (sorry I know you are private) is that you are taking things moment by moment doing the hard work of learning to just BE while longing to DO. This time of slower recovery must be so challenging for you. I know we can never understand please know that we are thinking and praying for all of you.
ReplyDeleteTime for me to dash...the family is getting restless! PS it is trying to snow here!

ReplyDeleteIt may seem like it's going slow but from this end it is truly amazing reading about your progress. Don't forget about all of the little things that you achieve every day - they may seem small, but they're really not!
