Rick,

So glad you got to be with Bryce. PIR is a wonderful time...makes a parent so very proud, doesn't it? I hope you got to spend some time with him before he had to go to school.

I'm praying for Tom. Asking God for strength and healing for him and to encourage your families hearts. 

 

Heath had a good day yesterday. He ate some chicken soup that I made for him and he got up and walked around a bit too. No fever to speak of (under 100). He's taking baby steps, but they're steps in the right direction. I've got alot to do in the next two weeks. Pray that he gets back on his feet enough to get around before I have to leave. He's going to need help for some time. 

Thank you all for your encouragement and so very much for your prayers for us. They are making all the difference. 

There are some amazing people here. Much love to you all.

Our God is a mighty God, and He hears our prayers, for each other, for ourselves.

this is the last updat from Fishdad, PLEASE continue to pray

Comment by fishdad 10 hours ago Saturdays update on Heath (Or Friday State Side) - Heaths labs came back good two days in a row, which tells us that the meds by mouth are doing the job. His lung sounded a bit better. So, the Doc discharged him yesterday. The Doctor left for a weeks leave today and I think he wanted to tie this up before he left. We are told that it is really up to the Doctor as to whether he can get moved State Side. He is staying at the hotel with me. The hotel was kind enough to move my room from the 4th floor, last building to the 1st floor, main building yesterday when they heard about the situation. This is a huge help as no buildings over here that are 4 stories or under have elevators. We got him settled in here at the Gateway Inn and the ships FRG President was kind enough to go and buy us some groceries (I am not allowed to purchase anything but fast food here on the base). So, I can start cooking for him. So, I have two weeks to try to get him back on his feet as much as possible. He has 3 weeks of convalescent leave and then he will be on Limited Duty until mid February. During this time he will get his appendix removed (two months from now...IF he is recovered enough). And then once he recovers from that he will have his knee surgery. His ship is replacing him at this point so we're not sure what that all means. He will have to move out of his barracks room...etc...I am communicating with his XO about getting him moved State Side. I am finding that it depends on who you talk with, what you are told. So, I have two weeks to do alot. We were told when he was discharged yesterday that he will NOT be considered 'out of the woods' until his appendix is removed. So, if we can't get him moved State Side, this mom is going to have a very, very difficult time getting on that plane in two weeks. He is completely restricted physically during all of this. No running, lifting, etc...so we're not sure how he'll be able to move, do his laundry and such. Yes, alot of unknowns. We are still in need of many prayers for him. He's taking baby steps. And we're thankful for them. Thank you all so very much for your prayers and encouragement. They've helped carry us through all of this.

 

Brandon, our last name is Fishburn and we are at the Gateway Inn here on base. We'd love to meet your son.

 

Thanks again everyone. I look forward to getting on and seeing your encouragement. This has been one difficult road to walk. Please continue to keep Heath in your prayers. As I said, he's still not out of the woods. And it's not like back at home where if we're not satisfied we can just have him moved. It's all up to other people. Pray hard. Thanks.

Life is going to be difficult at times, Hardships are going to come along and hit you right where it hurts. Don’t ever assume or expect that things will automatically lighten up for you because of the hardship. What’s important is to always pick yourself up, catch your breath and continue on your journey.

 

“Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge him and he will make your paths straight.”

Proverbs 3:5-6

 

 

Dear God, I praise You this day. I give thanks for all of the blessings in my life. I’m sorry I’ve failed to fully turst You in so many areas of my life. I want to hand You my worries today and to seekYour will in my life. Please open my eyes that I might be more aware of Your spirit working through me. Help me to be a strong voice in my acknowlegement of You and Your ways. I love You Lord. Amen

• On this day, God wants you to know

... that it's time you cleansed yourself with laughter and with tears. Let tears take out all the agony that is hidden inside you, and let laughter ignite your contagious joy

 

Father, we have had too many tears, bring on the joy and laughter.

My heart goes out to Sgt. Perry's family. Prayers or comfort and peace. Father, why do we find the need to hurt others. teach us Jesus' ways.  Heal the wounded, sick and depressed, bring our loved ones home. Amen

Heath you are never far from my thoughts, in continued prayer.
