Well, Dogwood Street (I like to say Dogwood LANE) has not been the same for the last week as Dr. Dale was in the hospital, but thankfully he is back home again. It is great that his surgeries were successful and he can now breath through a tube instead of having a mask on his face....a mask that was increasingly uncomfortable. He also has a feeding tube so choking isn't a threat. Jim and I went down to check and see how it was going and Dr. was back in his spot in the family room. Each transition is difficult, but as usual Dr. Dale was smiling and was very gracious as we tramped in with our new puppy, Sophie. It is hard to imagine how hard it is to give up mobility and now the ability to speak and to eat.
We continue to pray for a healing miracle, but we also pray for the grace and strength for Helen and Dale and all their family to cope. We were reminded in our Bible study tonight that the Lord's arm is not short and that physical healings still happen. We must continue to believe the Lord's in control and He knows best.....but it is tough in this instance. We pray desperately for Dale's healing and contantly have to resist the urge to shake our fists and ask, "WHY!?" Surely the Lord understands our human emotions and forgives us our frustration when we don't understand what is happening to to our loved ones.
It is way past my bedtime and my little fuzzy companion is looking at me saying, "isn't it time to go to bed yet!?" Yes, Sophie it is time please sleep until 6:15 am!
