Getting Settled
Our house is full and so are our hearts. It really is so amazing to have the opportunity to have everyone under the same roof...it's something I won't take for granted for a long time. I would say the transition to being home has probably been a bit overwhelming for Justin and yet I know he is so relieved to be out of the hospital. He told me yesterday that he is coming to grips with the fact that his life will never be the same again. He dealing with a lot right now on top of being in a lot of pain and having to depend on other people to do everything for him. I am so grateful that his parents are still here and together we can make Justin's life a little easier. We will spend the next few days getting used to his new "normal" and figuring out what daily life will look like. Pray that we know how to make Justin as comfortable as we possibly can. Big win of the day: Justin got to take a shower!!!!

So happy to know that Justin and all of you are under one roof. Blessings abound! I know this is going to be a difficult adjustment for Justin as it's "welcome to the rest of your life as it is now." But it will not be like this forever. The pain WILL subside, the mobility and strength WILL return, life WILL be good again. I'm so glad you and Brandon have been there to do all you have done. Please give Lynda and Brian a hug for me and so much love and many prayers are with all of you as this new phase of Justin's rehab begins. What better way to start than with a shower!!!Yea, Justin!

I'm so thankful that you are in a warm, comfortable place surrounded by people who can love and care for you instead of a cold and sterile one! My prayer now is that as you wait for the healing to take place, you will draw closer and closer to Him and have the sweetest time with Him that you have ever had. God has orchestrated all of this and has a special plan for you...I can't wait to see what it is!

Praying for you daily! I remember the days following my knee surgery and thinking I would never be the same. I cant even compare my reconstruction to yours. What little I can empathize with, I do! Hoping you find peace in this hard time!
