Today, Sunday, was a better day for Leif.
He was more relaxed and looked better. Leif starts his day with cereal and a
banana to get his metabolism moving and get some nutrients into his stomach.
The intensity of his headaches came down to a level ‘5’ today.
Praises! The headaches had been in the’7-8’ range which as you can
imagine are ‘hard to bear’. Factors that affected this change are prayers,
controlled environment, medications and meals coming on a timely basis. Leif is
pro-active in his communication with the HealthSouth staff and nurses. He
understands the timing of rest, meals, medications and therapy must align to
keep the head trauma managed until healing comes. The therapists will conduct a
meeting with Leif to set their programs in place. Thus far evaluations and
exercises have given them some basis for recommending therapies. Leif is
getting stronger and has had increased outcomes in his therapies this week.
Also Leif will meet with Dr. Warnick’s
representative from University Point to discuss his case. This week will
consist of meetings, therapies, and appointments. Leif has said that; this has
been a week of learning the ropes and that this week ahead seems to be coming
together in an organized manner. Leif spends time in the ‘Word of God’ and in
His presence so that he will recognize the Lord’s lamp in his life and in his
day. He has requested his PC be brought to him.
Grace and Blessings unto you, Blog Friends
of Leif, your strong compassionate prayers and faithful support are making the
difference. This week is ‘Key’. We will see improvements caused by
our God and Savior’s loving help!

Yesterday at church the pastor preached on 2 Corinthians 4. As I read the blog today I was reminded of these verses...7 "But we have this treasure in jars of clay to show that this all-surpassing power is from God and not from us. We are hard pressed on every side, but not crushed; perplexed, but not in despair; persecuted, but not abandoned; struck down, but not destroyed. We always carry around in our body the death of Jesus, so that the life of Jesus may also be revealed in our body." I have no doubt that Jesus has, is, and will continue to reveal His life in you and to others through this battle. God bless you.
