Cindy continues her recovery, slowly getting stronger every day. She left the hospital without a walker or cane and hasn't needed either. She goes up and down the stairs at the Scheihing's several times a day. She showers and gets cleaned up on her own. She is eating well and sleeping frequently, albeit not for long periods of time. The Scheihing's home is a perfect place of rest for Cindy. It is very quiet and secluded, surrounded by woods, a pond, a garden, and plenty of wild life.
Cindy had a great surprise on Thursday. Dan and Lisa Dorner (our associate pastor and his wife) flew up to Baltimore with Jenna to surprise Cindy. The surprise was well-orchestrated and Cindy was touched. It was the first time we had seen Jenna in 3 weeks. They flew back to Atlanta Friday.
On Friday, Cindy had her followup appointment with the neuro-surgeon. He was pleased with her progress. On the way home from the appointment, we stopped at the Amish market for some brief "window shopping". Cindy went back to the Amish market on Saturday for another stroll, but this time took the credit card with her.
My job search continues. The round of interviews I had over the last two weeks all went well. I expect to hear about next steps in the next week or two. I also was able to spend Saturday at a christian men's retreat, hosted by Bob Scheihing. It was a nice break and a blessed time.
Thank you for your continued prayers.

Hi, I was thrilled to see a new blog. You must be doing better if you're out shopping.
ReplyDeleteI hope Jenna was able to get a seat Friday night. We got there at 6:30 and there were already long lines. I did call her and she said they were almost at the Church. We really enjoyed Kate.
I'll continue to pray for you both. Know you'll be glad to be back home, but what a blessing to have such great Christian fiends. Love, Rita
Rick,
ReplyDeleteThanks for the update. Y'all are still in our prayers. Cindy, I'll call you tonight.
