The above view is only half of the pictures and cards that have traveled with Bob throughout this entire ordeal. We posted the cards and pictures in every room he was in.
Bob had quite a few visitors today. He had friends from church; one who brought flowers from her yard, friends from the choir, cousins, and me. Pastor Daryl stopped by and Bob's sister and brother-in-law came to town. Bob's mom and dad will arrive tomorrow. They drove all the way from Iowa. Bob and I have done that trek every year we've been together. It's a beautiful drive. There is a wide variety of country-side along the way.
Ok, yesterday, Bob guessed the wrong year, wrong president, and wrong state he lived in, and today, he had no guess at all. However, he did get all of his colors correct. The wheels are turning. The intelligent Bob we all know will emerge one of these days. I'll lay money down if anyone wants to bet. ;-)
My son, Daniel, brought our dog, Bentley, into Bob's room tonight. (Rose Haven allows pets.) Bentley was excited to see him, and Bob's face lit up too.
Prayer from Pastor Daryl:
God of grace and glory, holy comforter, healing Spirit, we give you thanks for Bob’s continuing recovery and renewal. Continue to reach out and bring him healing through the hands of those who care for him. Radiate through his life with the light of your presence, that renewed health and strength may be his. Grant to him and those dear to him the continuing assurance of your steadfast love and mercy that they may know the peace that comes from you; through Christ our healer. Amen.
