Well, here we
are...all of us in our home together...LIVING life. It's a great feeling to
finally be home. Derek is doing okay, nothing major seems to be going on. He said he feels the same as
he did when he was in the hospital towards the end...weak and not quite right.
But he's gaining strength every day and is definitely in a better
place than he was a week or so ago! It's a little different now not having the
daily bloodwork and scans to tell us if he is or isn't on the up and up. All in
all, I think that's a good thing though. We need a some room to live
a little and not focus on all the negatives or possibilities of. Derek is
going to be seeing a few of the specialists that were taking care of him up at
Northwestern on a weekly basis for awhile until some of these lingering issues
have resolved. So hopefully, some of our questions will be answered in the days
ahead.
In the mean time, you won't be hearing much from us. We're all healing here...physically and emotionally really. And we just need time. We're not sure what lies ahead for Derek's health either and that is partly why we're trying to keep visitors at bay at this point. I'm looking forward to the coming weeks when we have a little better handle on this and we can start to do life with our friends and family again. We love you all so much.
We are truly so overwhelmed and forever changed by the outpouring of love, prayers and support. It's honestly been amazing. You guys rock :) I know there are lots of you that want to help us (even still!) and we appreciate that as well...we're actually really going to need it. If you want to help us with a meal or encourage us with a card or anything at all, please just contact Calvary Church in Valparaiso (219-462-4026). They're helping to get us thru this time...and we really need them to be the go between for us until we're able to navigate on our own again.
I'll leave you all with my favorite scripture...it's found in Psalm 73. God always finds a way to make these verses come alive and speak to me. And again, here I am, resting in this truth, looking ahead content with what's in store for us.
Psalm 73: 23-26
"Yet I am always with you; you hold me by my right hand. You guide me with your counsel, and afterward you will take me into glory. Whom have I in heaven buy you? And earth has nothing I desire besides you. My flesh and my heart may fail, but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever."
