Mom and dad are becoming more comfortable caring for Grace. Today the nurses left mom alone in the room to perform some every-day tasks for Grace saying on the way out: "call me if you need anything."
The current opinion from Neurology is that Grace's odd episodes are neither seizures nor storming. They theorize that it could be Grace's brain function starting back up and then becoming overstimulated by the new activity... They make it sound like an old commercial building furnace starting up with the first chill of fall. Yes, it's tucked away in the corner of a dark, damp and dusty basement. Yes, the moving parts have been stationary for so long that they may be rusty. When it starts up the first time, gosh does it ever make an ear-splitting noise that makes it sound like it's going to tear the building apart, but once it gets going the rust wears off, everything returns to normal, and it's a huge blessing to everyone inside who gets to enjoy it's warmth once again.
The latest word today was that Grace's homecoming was scheduled for 3 weeks from Sunday.
A group from the church is getting together at the hospital on Wednesday to pray for Grace. Mom wanted us to invite everyone who feels led to attend - even out of town guests who feel so inclined. Please e-mail info@gracegoodday.com if you would like more information on this event.
Beyond that, mom and dad have a realtor friend helping them look for rental homes (they're not up for making the decision of buying one at this point). Mom and dad are also going out on a date night for the first time in quite a while.
Please pray for:
- Complete recovery for Grace
- The right place for the family to live at the right price
- Mom's gall bladder surgery on Friday
- Childcare for the boys until Grace comes home
- Financial Provision (If you are interested please contact info@gracegoodday.com for more information.)

is what it should read. Sorry, it got cut off!
Praise God for the storming-free day that Grace had and for the peaceful hours Mom spent with her.
Thank God for Mom's learning to perform the tasks that Grace needs at this time and for the trust that the nurses had that Mom would be able to handle everything alone.
I thank God that Grace's brain function is returning to normal and for the healing that God is providing each day. Grace is healed by Jesus' stripes.
I praise God that Grace's homecoming will be a smooth transition and that all of her needs are already provided for this precious event. There is no place like home.
I thank God for the people who have been, and will be, caring for the two boys; and for everyone who has been so gracious to this family in every way.
I pray for Mom's surgeon's hands to be guided by God and that her recovery will be quick and easy.
I pray for the perfect place for this family to live. Mom and Dad have God's favor regarding this.
Our God reigns!
