Mrs. Doug made it back to Jackson safely. She told Bro. Dale his restful weekend was over so get ready tomorrow to work. Les and Billy Paul had a good time visiting with him Saturday and this morning he got some time to himself, which Mrs. Doug is pretty sure he was glad to have. She brought him the game football that the Vardaman Rams football team signed and gave him from their playoff victory. He smiled and felt of it and then tucked it under his arm like he was about to run it in for a touchdown. And then he kept it there. She could tell he was proud to have it and thinks that he will enjoy using it as part of his physical therapy.
One significant change that Mrs. Doug noticed today is that Bro. Dale started making voice sounds when he coughed whether he had the speech valve on the trach or not. He had not been making any voice sounds without the speech valve before! Pray that he will start making more progress with using his voice. She is thankful that he was so much more alert this past week and is hopeful that he will stay alert and be able to work hard this week. Pray for that.
"14 And it will be said,
“Build up, build up, prepare the way,
Remove every obstacle out of the way of My people.”
15 For thus says the high and exalted One
Who lives forever, whose name is Holy,
“I dwell on a high and holy place,
And also with the contrite and lowly of spirit
In order to revive the spirit of the lowly
And to revive the heart of the contrite...
18 “I have seen his ways, but I will heal him;
I will lead him and restore comfort to him and to his mourners,
19 Creating the praise of the lips.
Peace, peace to him who is far and to him who is near,”
Says the LORD, “and I will heal him.” Isaiah 57:14-15, 18-19
