The power of prayer (and fasting)

Today has been the best day we have had yet!!! We are convinced the power of prayer and the ward fast, which was held the Sunday after Craig's accident, have gotten us this far.

(The picture is of our celebration - we took the kids to Cold Stone for ice cream)

Speech - Craig's speech therapist could not find anything wrong with him no matter how many rocks she looked under. After four visits she discharged Craig. She has been doing this for over 20 years and she told us she has seen full recoveries but never this fast! She kept looking at me and saying, "You know how luck you are, right?"

OT - Craig passed all the OT testing including the two drivers test. She too discharged him after only four visits. She also said, "You know how luck you are, right?" She then followed that up with a couple of horror stories so I really understood how lucky we are.

Both OT and Speech said they see no reason Craig would not be able to fly again. We still have to meet with a Neuropsycholigst for testing before he can be cleared. Our appointment isn't until August 2nd. They like to wait at least two months after the accident before they do the testing. That's ok. He still has three broken bones that need to heal! (And lots of PT to help get back range of motion.)

That being said we are still aware there can be set backs. Both therapist want Craig to go "back to life as normal". I am supposed to watch closely for any changes or behaviors that are not quite right. Neither thought there would be any but just in case. You never know with a head injury.

I of course fully know just how lucky we are. I got a good look at some of the other patients in Neuro Rehab and I TRULY know how lucky we are. I have also felt everyone's prayers helping us along our way! We are both grateful for a Father in Heaven who loves us and watches out for us. This truly has been a miracle.
