Fourth Surgery Update 6

June 3, 2011

David had to go back to work and Jonathan had to go back to work. They were taking shifts at the beginning. David’s sister left and his mother also left. Now Dorene is on duty all the time at the hospital around the clock. David put their son Isaac in a day camp. He goes from 8 to 4 until someone from church picks him up. Then David picks him up after work.

Tamara has had a hard day today. She cries and wants to get better. Dorene tells her she is making progress. Dorene helps Tamara with her bed, her shower, makes sure her food gets there, makes sure her buttons for help are not on the floor, and little things that the nurses would never do. Dorene needs our prayers as well. She has had a cough that she has not been able to shake for many weeks. She wears a mask in Tamara's room and washes her hands constantly.

Tamara got approved today for in-house rehab. The Lord used David to help this miracle happen. The hospital was going to send her home. She was not anywhere near able to do anything at home. Tomorrow she will move to rehab where they teach them how to do math, write, take tests, and climb stairs, and walk. They asked her how many words she could think of that start with M in one minute. She could only think of mom, mommy, and mother, and Morse code. “Tamara is making baby steps forward,” Dorene reported.
