Steady would be the word for today. Not any notable changes.
Ben spent a lot of the day alone, probably the longest time he's been in that position throughout his hospital stays. Wednesday's a work day for Kim and Jon had the last of three days of meetings with the standing committee vision team. But Ben wasn't really alone, since his favorite 5th floor nurse Jamie was in today, and he had a visit with a volunteer who got him onto the computer, and his mentor Scott from church visited in the afternoon.
He was reluctant to get a shower (we know he's feeling better!), so dad bribed him with pizza.
Beyond that there's not much to report. We're thankful for the meals that the church family has been providing at home, and for Pastor Audrey making some time to hang out with Lydia and Noah today.
Healing continues.
To Ben:
ReplyDeleteA Happy belated 15th Birthday to you, Ben. I did not realize it is your birthday today, but it sounds like you had a big day of celebration with all the wonderful friends at the hospital. We at Richmond Church are praying for you, and tonight at choir we all remembered you with a big Hurray! Hope you will get home real soon, and start enjoying how much fun it is to be 15!!!
Many, many more happy birthdays to you! Sleep well after a big day.

To Ben and family:
ReplyDeleteFirst a Happy Belated Birthday to Ben. Gpa Shively shared with the choir tonight about the recent readmission to the hospital due to a blood clot. The LCoB choir is praying for you and your family and we all hope you will be home with your family very soon.
