The Journey Continues:Update on Richard

                                               

I have gotten out of the habit of blogging and giving updates on my husband.  I am going to try to do better because I do like to write!  Life has gotten pretty hectic in the last few months.  Just a quick overview for those that don't know, Richard fell and broke his hip on July 28th with surgery on the following day.  On August 18th and then again on August 19th that hip popped out so another surgery on August 20th.  The surgeon thought that if Richard could make it four weeks that everything would be good to go.  Nope not quite, on September 17th exactly four weeks out, that hip popped out again.  We were told that it had not healed and that it looked like mush.  This was very frustrating for Richard who is very much ready to get back to work. He will be having another surgery but this time at OU Medical.  We have seen the surgeon there and pre op things have been done.  Just don't have a date yet.  They are going to check the blood work and the test results before giving a date.  Richard is ready to escape from the hip problems and head back to work.

                                                   





Even though this is frustrating to Richard and I(more so to him) we know that the Lord  has a plan and that no matter what happens something good can come out of this situation and every situation!  We do know that God is the one that gets us through times like this!  We both would appreciate prayers for healing,wisdom and strength!  Maybe this is a thorn in the flesh but God's grace and strength is sufficient!

2 Corinthians 12:7-10 (NKJV)

And lest I should be exalted above measure by the abundance of the revelations, a thorn in the flesh was given to me, a messenger of Satan to buffet me, lest I be exalted above measure. Concerning this thing I pleaded with the Lord three times that it might depart from me. And He said to me,“My grace is sufficient for you, for My strength is made perfect in weakness.”Therefore most gladly I will rather boast in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me. 10 Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in needs, in persecutions, in distresses, for Christ’s sake. For when I am weak, then I am strong.
