Sunday, the day of rest. More ways than one, too! Cam stayed in bed all day, trying his best to use relaxation techniques on the muscle cramps instead of drugs. He finally took some motrin at about 8. We had many friends and family come to the hospital tonight. We sang several songs, entertaining the nurses in the process. It's quite fun. Our friend Paul played the guitar for us.
Would ya'll please pray that Cam's back muscles will stop spasming so he can do the work that he needs to do? He is so frustrated because he wants to work harder than he is able to. His therapists say that his progress is miraculous thus far, and we know it could be so much better without the pain. Thank you!
You know, when someone has been praying for a way to succeed, and does everything possible they can do, the Lord picks up the slack when you're ready to give up. We were kind of not knowing how we were going to redo all the things we needed to, and Cam's mom rescued us for supplies, and my wonderful son and sons-in-law volunteered their time and labor. My ward is getting a crew together to do the bathroom remodeling and will labor with love. I feel, still, kind of in a cocoon of shock and numbness. When I express my gratitude to others, because there are no tears, I don't feel like the message is getting across. I feel like I am going to lose it one of these days with all the tender feelings I have that won't come out right now. Please, if that includes YOU, know that I am grateful, truly for everything we have been so unselfishly given by so many. Someday we will repay the love and kindness that we get so abundantly each day. I don't know how that will come to pass, but it will. Because we have been given much we, too, must give.
Love you all!
