Good news! Bob is moving to Rosehaven in Roseburg on Monday. His trach may be gone by Monday. I learned another new thing today. Bob has had the trach for eight weeks now. I asked if the skin will need stiches to reseal. Believe this...if the open skin is not touching other skin, it does not heal; so, the trach is preventing the skin in his neck from closing. When the trach is removed, the skin touches, and within three days, the wound is healed.
Our friend, Jim, visited again today. He and Bob talked extensively about motorcyles. Jim asked if he could ride Bob's Harley. Bob said, "Absolutely". I said, "What if it gets scratched?" T said with a grin, "I'll have to take it away."
Bob was watching golf tonight, so he didn't want to be bothered.
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.
