February 11, 2008 Update
Dear Friends and Family-
I know it’s been a while since the last update. Our family has een busy with the January 5th wedding of our oldest daughter Sara- what a happy time! How exciting it is to see how the Lord works His blessings in our lives. How a plan was set up long efore we knew it- Thank you to the Smith family for a kind, patient daughter and an incredible valiant son. How blessed we are because of them.
Jessica is doing well. Although there are times when she gets discouraged (who wouldn’t) she still is so strong physically and emotionally. She has a desire to serve but just hasn’t figured it out yet. She has a tendency to say she’ll do things when she can walk. We are trying to encourage her to get out and be a little more social, it’s a tough situation. We are trying to find where these opportunities might be. We have to remind ourselves that it’s the journey getting there! And not to think so much about the ultimate goal, but to learn and enjoy the journey, and eventually that goal will be here before we know it. There are some wonderful opportunities that are coming our way soon having to do with some brain imaging and tasting to better help is to know how to help Jess. More details on this later next month.
Jessica still goes to physical therapy twice a week for 2 and a half hours and works out at the gym 3 times a week for 2 hours. She loves to get on the eliptical and now can go a imle in about 25 minutes, it’s the way she gets her cardio in. It’s great! She is so strong and in such good shape! Jessica’s walking is coming and her therapist Von Hill is so encouraging and guves us so much hope, he tells us that he see’s improvement in Jess every week. We are looking forward to warmer weather and getting outside more.
Kade turned 2 on the 11th. Wow how time does go by. Sometimes slow and sometimes fast. Kade has been such a blessing in our lives filling a sad void on a daily basis with simple joys, smiles and hugs. Trust in the Lord. He knows what we need. He knows our hearts and finds a way to heal when healing is so needed. Thank you for thinking of Jess and keeping her in your prayers. We love you all.
Always dedicated to Jess,
The Krehbiels
