Re: /Update on Rob

[Guest guest]

:

He's behaving better. I think the severe swelling scared him. He was down

in the dumps last night because he wanted to go out driving and all of

his friends were either out of town or had already made plans. I made him

use crutches yesterday and today, and the swelling is improved. I'm sure

that Dr. Passo will give him his advice on Tuesday.

We all have to learn our limitations.

The girl to pray for is Syndney. The disease is fatal within 5 years if

not treated, if treated, emedicine.com says that 80% survive more than 5

years. Pretty scary. Thanks for praying for her.

We went to Evangel Prayer Center tonight for their NYEve celebration and

got home just in time to see in the New Year with Rob (he didn't want to

go). It was such an awesome service! Their praise band was incredible,

and they had a wonderful speaker, Van Crouch, and they also had a rising

young Christian singer, Webster. He was incredible!! Reminded

me a lot of W. .

Have a wonderful New year and may you receive many blessings!!

and Rob 17 Spondy

I am sure you must have been so frustrated with Rob. He came

through the surgery so well, yet kids think they are invincible and

don't really know how to pace themselves. It really is so important

to give that knee some rest. taking care to stay off of it while it

heals will mean in the end he will heal faster without causing delay

from added injury. I am sure you have told Rob all this...Why don't

these teenagers listen to us? I went through the same thing when

was fighting pneumonia. He'd feel good for a couple hours and

then he would go train with his basketball team, by that night he

couldn't move off the couch! ugh My mom would say that this will be

a life long challenge. My mother is 60 and my baby sis with chrones

disease is 28. My mom still stays after her to take her meds, rest,

drink fluids, eat the right things, keep appointments, get labs

checked....Some jobs with motherhood just never go away! :-)

I will pray for your friends grandaughter. I have never heard of

that autoimmune disorder. I am glad she has a good rheumy. Can you

give me the girls first name so that I can add her to my prayer

journal.

I hope you have an awesome New Year!
