Day 49

Yes, today, marks seven weeks since Charlos’s accident. It is hard to believe we’ve been here this long; we’ve seen so much improvement and have so much yo be thankful for! Let’s remember to be thankful to the Lord that Los is still here with us, fighting with us and that he is improving every day.

Yesterday was another busy day for Charlos with visitors and activity. We had lots of friends and family stop by over the course of the day to visit with him, pray with him, and us, and just genuinely love on him. He even had two of his aunts and two of his cousins surprise us by driving down from Montana to be with him again. We love you and are so thankful for all of you who are with us on this journey! ❤

Charles had a good night last night and is relaxed and resting well this morning. His eyes have been open and reactionary to me and the nurses and his vital signs are good. He’s all ready for a day of both rest and visitation.

I think in our busy lives, we can learn a lot from Los; when he is tired, he will just slowly close his eyes, breathe out, rest, and take a break from all the commotion. Hmmm, what a concept! 😁

As Charlos and I were reading and discussing Psalm 23 again yesterday, we kinda got stuck on verse 2, “He makes me lie down in green pastures. He leads me beside still waters.” (ESV). God shared with us, ‘He makes me lie down in green pastures’ means, He brings us to rest and trust in Him while supplying all we need. The Lord also shared that He leads “me”; each one of is a ‘me’! God is ‘our’ collective God but, He is also our personal God at the same time! He leads each of us beside ‘still’ waters; an uninterrupted flow of peace and supply that He provides! God is faithful and trustworthy. God’s love and supply are not turbulent, upsetting, or torrential, His love and supply are deep, strong, steady, and unending. We can hang on to Him and His Word in this time and all that comes with it!

Amazingly, yesterday, God sent several very loved and trusted people, unknown to each other, to me to encourage me with these same thoughts and the ‘waters’ were a part of each conversation! Praise God! And, in the words God gave our Grandson Chase after heard about his Dad’s accident, ‘God’s got this’!

Let’s continue to pray for God‘s hand in all that Charles is going through, all that each of us who love him so much are going through and let us pray that God calmly clears the way for Charlos’s next move in his recovery process! ❤️‍🩹

Thank you, and bless you all!

Charlos’s family❤️
