Day 16
Extubation Day!
"I love you so much! Give me your forehead so I can kiss it!"
Jay's first words spoken to me in 15 days.
This was the beginning of a significant shift in our journey to recovery. Now that Jay was able to communicate and start processing what had happened, we had to begin working through the emotional aspect of what we had/will be walking through...not just the physical.
Looking back, I see the beauty in the Lord allowing me to start this process early on. This allowed me to come alongside Jay and be the helpmate he needed. I had seen the hand of God move in such a mighty way that I did not doubt that He would see us through till the end. I did not worry about Him abandoning us. I knew this next phase would be hard...but temporary. I knew we would not be walking through the fire alone.
Here we are today: Still working through and surviving the aftermath of one event that happened 6 years ago. This has not been easy. This has stretched us beyond what we foresaw. Yet we know we stand in victory. We remain in awe of The One who has seen us through it all. The One who will continue to sustain us, provide for us and allow us to help others along the way as well.
Jesus Christ has the power to turn your mourning into dancing.
Your sorrow into Joy.
Beauty for ashes...
He desires to restore all that was lost...all that is broken.
Surrender it to Him. He's the only one who can truly make you whole.
Nothing Missing, Nothing Broken.
Nothing is too difficult for the God of All Flesh.
Don't forget to listen to Day 16 of our podcast to hear all about Jay's extubation!
Here's a song of encouragement:
