Journal Entry 3/4 From Kristi

Zachary has been discharged from the hospital!!

For 104 days, Zac has lived in the hospital. Round the clock help. Nurses on standby to assist his every need; all he has to do is push the little blue button. I haven’t cooked a meal for 104 days. I’ve slept, woke, stayed by Zac’s side as a team of therapists have taught us how to live and move.

But today is different. Mind you, we are only moving across the street from Craig Hospital for the next 2-4 weeks of Outpatient Rehab, but we will be on our own, learning to live life again. And for the first time in 104 days, my boy is gonna sleep under my same roof, in the bedroom next to mine. PJs and movie night!

The ministry of the Holy Spirit has never been more real to me. He has been seen in every doctor, nurse, and therapist that has attended Zac. They simply embody a picture of how God attends us.

He is the Great Physician - "Heal me, O Lord, and I will be healed... for you are the one I praise." Jer. 17:14

He is the Nurse who is always ready to attend us - “My God shall supply all of your needs.” Phil . 4:19

He is the Physical Therapist - “In Him, we live, and move, and have our being.” Acts 17:28

Time for the next chapter to begin!
