Carter’s Story

Site created on February 15, 2023

Dear Family + Friends, 
Carter and I are so grateful for all the support, prayers and love we've received from you all.. what a wonderful support team! I'm realizing I can't adequately keep up with new developments by calls and texts, and am thankful for Caring Bridge. We appreciate your support and words of hope and encouragement. 


With Love,
Carter + Vonnie

Newest Update

Journal entry by Janelle Leland

This is another very late update; thank you for your understanding!
     
Our days have started to have a rhythm with the different therapists’ visits.  We are so thankful to have their resources; each one is thoughtful and sensitive to Carter’s situation. And we are so thankful for my sister Lynne’s visit.  To think I have a sister willing to travel a thousand miles and take two weeks away from home to help, and who “just happens” to have a physical therapy degree with advanced training in brain rehab, just when it’s needed! God is so good!

We have been blessed since coming home by the meals friends have brought.  It has been so helpful, and we both have enjoyed other people’s cooking.  Food, texts, calls, cards, visits: these tangible expressions of friendship and support have brought us great encouragement.  And so many have prayed for Carter.  That is the greatest support of all!

Today finally felt like Spring, and Carter and I are really hoping to get two walks in each day, enjoying the sun and fresh air.  That is, literally, just what the doctor ordered!

Prayer requests 
    1.    For good quality sleep, so needed, but shoulder pain has made this difficult.
    2.    For grateful hearts and joy for the journey (for both of us).
    3.    For discipline in keeping up with the daily rehab exercises.
    4.    For renewed trust and faith in the Lord’s healing work and in his love and strength.
Thank you for praying with and for us.

We are looking forward to celebrating the greatest event in history, the resurrection of Jesus Christ.  Because He lives, we can face tomorrow!  Have a blessed Easter!    Vonnie and Carter
