Tomorrow is an important day for Mommy and Max…although what day isn’t?
There is so much to tell as we received the latest updates from Hillary’s therapists including her progress in occupational, speech and physical therapy this week. There is very little left of brain injury “tone” except her wrist and thumb and most of her physical challenges (her left arm) are due to her physical injury….still in an aggressively healing mode. But tonight we are all preparing for another important day for our family on different venues, and we ask your prayers for God’s will and guidance for the best possible decisions for those who are empowered to do just that.
BSILE is here tonight and as he said “Good night” to his sweet sister-in-law, he came back in the living room and said, “It hit me when I said good night to her…….’Honey, we almost never got to do that again’.” What a perfect thing for him to say tonight….and a perfect reminder of why tomorrow must happen. Like it or not….if not for miracles we wouldn’t be heading to a forum for difficult decisions about Max. It is never fun to navigate unchartered waters on any front…but particularly in the courtroom. But thanks be to God we can navigate our way through the process, and at the end of the day,our daughter is alive and here with us and she will be able to hug Max the next time she sees him; no matter when that day comes. And if miracles hadn’t happened and our girl hadn’t survived, its likely none of us would have been with Max at all. So whatever tomorrow’s outcome….one thing is sure: Very soon, we will be laughing and screaming and hugging and swimming and jumping off of the back of an ugly old houseboat in the best waters we know… Kentucky Lake. And Max will be there….and so will our Hillary.
Thanks for your prayers tomorrow….and every day.
