Journal entry by Lyndsey Larson —
We haven't updated for awhile but just a week out from being home. It seems like so much longer than that! I have been going out every couple days to help Dad change shirts, wash up, and shave. That is an entire chore in itself. Ooof. I'll help with that stuff and leave the boys to do the outside stuff 😉 or leave Dad to it. He is getting antsy. He was going to go outside the other day and water the cows. Don't worry he didn't. I did it for him.
Dad had an appointment yesterday and it went wonderful! The doctor can't believe how well he is healing. He was able to get his stitches out so he now is cleared for showers!! He goes to see his Ortho doctor next week for his arm and Neurologist will be calling to set up an appointment for a check up also. God is so great.
Mom has an appointment tomorrow so pray that it goes well for her. Her arm is still pretty swollen and still hurting her pretty bad. Her elbow area looks pretty weird so not sure if something else is going on or what? Guess we will find out tomorrow! Also pray for her patience and sanity! Ha! Over the next weeks taking care of my Dad and keeping his resting might be hard sometimes. He has a hard time resting so I am sure this is hard for him.
We appreciate everyone for the prayers, thoughts, food, gifts, etc. We can't thank you all enough... You are all a blessing!
