Nick is the reason for our season

Nick has now been in the hospital for 2 weeks tomorrow. I didn't think it would be this long.We have seen progress, although small, which gives a lift to our battered spirits. Nick can now focus on us when we talk. We have a "code" for yes and no. Yes is....close your eyes tight. No is.....blink twice. By just those two answers, we have learned alot about him. We have also spent some presious moments with tears, from us and him both. Our relationship with Nick has been very rocky and strained the last few months. That's not a good way for things to stay or end. I hope he has felt the love as we have which has taken over that little hospital room. Our house remains undecorated, there's no tree in it's usual place, but the spirit of Christ has dwelt with us all and given us such peace. Oh how would it be if we didn't believe in God or a life after this to finish what we started on earth.....I can't imaginge. The "veil " has been very thin.

Yesterday, we met with the Dr. and he gave us an idea what we might expect. Nick has some perminent paralyisis around.....most especially his right arm area. There is still alot of swelling in his head and it leaves a question as to whether the paralysis is temporary or perminant. We are counting on this next week to be a big determining time for him as the swelling goes down. We have heard from so many friends and neighbors and feel so loved and taken care of. Friends are truely one of the great pleasures of life. Thanks for your care and concern.........Julie
