Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice!
-Philippians 4:4
Dear family and friends,
Today is the three month anniversary of my accident, and now I’ve been home for about a month and a half. And life is good! I’ve had doctor appointments every day since my arrival at home, so it’s kinda like school. Plus, I even get homework from my therapists. That’s not always my favorite, but I’m not going to get better if I don’t work at it. And I enjoy spending time with the therapists; they’re all young ladies about my age, so it’s almost like hanging out with friends. I don’t have many friends here at home, so my friend Susan has been a real life-saver. I have been so blessed to have her in my life.
And a few things my mom has asked me to mention: my Rancho level is 7 or 8, which is quite an improvement since the last time I was evaluated. Also I went to a brain injury clinic in Houston, on of the top 10 in the nation, yesterday. And the doctor there said I was doing well. This is wonderful news because now we won’t have to make long drives to get me the help that I need. Praise God!
Also, the right side of my body is improving. Slowly, but steadily. I’ve been practicing my handwriting each day, and when I look back at what I did a few weeks ago, it’s definitely gotten noticeably better. And I don’t get quite as frustrated. But you can keep praying for my hand; God has healed me a lot already, but I am going to boldly ask God for more.
So life here continues steadily and well. I’m missing my friends and boyfriend Brandon who are still at TU, but they’ve been visiting me and I just went to Tulsa last weekend. So you could pray that I would have peace as I’m here at home. I know that God is good, but I don’t always believe it. I sure am glad that He loves us perfectly, especially when we are so UNlovable. If I could summarize this whole experience in one sentence, it would be that God is good!
