Everyone please pray. Am meeting 2 people from Neuro-Rehabilitation Living Center in Virginia Beach at Tucker Pavilion in Richmond this afternoon at 2pm. They will do a brief evaluation of Mike and determine if they think their program is a good fit for him. So far it sounds good, just had a 45 minute conference call with them and the social worker at TP. They have not balked at any of the information given so far - repeating, pacing, incontinence, walking out, resistance, etc. and really seem to want to work with Mike, have the know-how and programs in place, take into account what he likes and would like to do, etc.
Mike has remained much the same at TP as he was at home. Some lucid/clear times and then irrational times. If all goes well, we are looking at discharge from TP and taking him down to NRLC on Monday. They sound like a really great group of folks. A couple of them have been on short-term mission trips also. Said there is a church just a mile down the road where they take their clients who want to go to church. They keep them busy throughout the day, go to the gym, physical, occupational, and speech therapy. Consults with neuro-psychiatrist, neurologist. Have a rehab physician on staff, as well as, a social worker, nurse, and more. I'm excited about this opportunity for Mike and the respite for me! Then we'll have to pray for the what-comes-after these 2 or 3 months. (After some respite.)
I really needed these verses this morning, actually have needed them the past couple of weeks.
Philippians 4:4-7
Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice! Let your gentleness be evident to all.
The Lord is near. Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition,
with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all
understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds, in Christ Jesus.
These lines from the Big Daddy Weave song
"Without You" are so true - I cannot live without You, JESUS!
Chorus: "And the sun doesn't shine, and my world stops spinnin' round, Without You
Tell me where else could I ever find the peace that floods this heart of mine, Without You.
Who could fill the emptiness inside, Who would ease the pain in my broken heart
Who would come in and abide, promise never to depart, Without You
I can't live without You, I don't want to try to, Live one more moment without You!
