Journal Entry 2/11 From Kristi

On November, 8 days after Zachary’s accident, I handed him his Rubik's Cube. The Cube he once had been able to solve completely in 19 seconds. But 8 days after his injury, it took him about a minute to turn it just ONE rotation.

Tonight, I handed him the cube again and he was able to solve one full side in about a minute. I was blown away!! Progress!! Then he proceeded to solve the ENTIRE cube in about 5 minutes. It was awesome watching those hands work to solve the cube, using wrist movements and now his one thumb.... I was so excited, I scrambled up the cube and challenged him to solve it again. And he did. Three times in a row.

I pulled up the video (below) I took of him 8 days after his injury and we were both so encouraged in the Lord to see how far he has already come. Just when my heart begins to get weary, the Lord reminds us of how far we have come.

Faithful, Lord, You are faithful. When my hope begins to weaken, I see that You have never changed.

Faithful, You are faithful. When my faith begins to waiver, Your Word is still the same.

For every promise You’ve made will come true.

Everything that You’ve said, You will do.

For looking back over time, Your faithfulness shines as the reason my hope is renewed.

We have been given a projected discharge date of March 4, followed by a minimum of four weeks in outpatients therapy where we can continue to visit Craig daily but learn to do life on our own.

🙏🏼 pray that the Lord opens doors for us to have a place back home that is accommodating for Zac

🙏🏼 the Lord gave Zac right hand thumb movement. Now we are praying for his left thumb. Why not!!! God says in James 4:2, “you have not, because you ask not!”

🙏🏼 the Lord also gave Zac movement in one toe. Pray for a second toe to move now.

We will continue to “stand still, and see the salvation of the LORD, which HE will accomplish” (Ex 14:13)
