Journal Entry 11/25 From Kristi
It seems strange to say it was a “good day” but as the evening closes, that’s what my heart is concluding. “Good” because I’m thankful Zac is alive. “Good” because his smile inspires me. “Good” because I have not seen his faith falter once. Not once. It’s as if all the strength in his body has simply been transferred to his spirit. His body is weak, but I’ve never seen his faith stronger.
I entered his room today to find him rolling his phone around today in his lap, trying to use it. I was so thrilled. I attached a stylus to his right hand noticed he had 54 text messages waiting. I stood back and watched him wrestle with handling his phone - no grip with either hand, but still managing to tap open a few messages and read them. I told him I wouldn’t read his messages to him.
He would have to keep poking his phone randomly to open them. I wish you could have seen him. So determined!!
His fever was normal today.
His lungs have fluid and he has very little strength to cough. This affects his oxygen level. Pray he is able to clear congestion. I have learned how to use the “quad cough” - pressing down on his diaphragm as he coughed to help clear his lungs.
Continue to pray for the Lord to open the right doors for the perfect Acute rehab.
I wrote out Psalm 139:1-12 for Zac and posted it on his wall to memorize. Who wants to join us?
And.... both Rich and I were able to be with Zac today!!!! God is good and does only good.
