Journal entry by Emily Meyer Dachel —
What a crazy few months! I hope this post finds everyone healthy and enjoying their summer so far! Things have started moving along for Brent. On 5/28, he had his first rotator cuff repair surgery! He says it's much less painful, but he is once again physically sidelined, so he's frustrated with that. It looks like he will most certainly have to have his other shoulder repaired, as well as the right knee. That's the leg that was broken, and he suffered a torn meniscus as well, which we did not know until recently. Brent continues to struggle with short term memory and some cognition stuff, but he works twice a week with an amazing speech therapist. He is now on a schedule of ST and PT 4 days a week. Life, meanwhile, continues on. We have Grace finishing her junior year, with senior pics scheduled for July 1st! We are also busy ordering tuxes, bridesmaid dresses, mother of the bride dresses and planning bridal showers!! Income continues to be a struggle, but we are busy delivering hamburger, black dirt, gravel and whatever we can to keep the bills paid. God has been very good in meeting our needs! Thank you all for continuing to keep us in your thoughts and prayers!!
