Leaving the Nest

Good Morning Everyone! It's looking like we are going to get a visit from Hannah here in the eastern part of the state tonight and tomorrow. I am planning not to be here to see it. Cindy is being discharged from the Rehab Institute tomorrow! I plan to go to Charlotte this afternoon and visit with her this evening, and tomorrow we will pack her stuff up and drive to Raleigh and spend the weekend with her parents and Luci. Cindy will get a radiation treatment today and have physical therapy and exercise. This will be her 7th radiation treatement of a planned 15. Therefore, she will need to return to Charlotte on Monday to resume her radiation treatments. As far as we know right now she will be staying with our dear friends, David and Debbie. We still have some transportation issues to figure out, but it looks like she will not be engaged in formal physical therapy for the duration of her radiation treatment, but she has at-home exercises to do, and we will get her set up for out-patient physical therapy when she returns to Clinton. That will also save on the trips to and from the hospital.
We really appreciate all of your thoughts and prayers for they are such a blessing and a comfort to us, and we are confident that your prayers and God's grace and mercy continue to move Cindy closer to recovery. In addition to your prayers we have been blessed with emails, phone calls, cards, and so many acts of kindness along the way. Yesterday we received a beautiful card and a wonderful gift from my Clinton Cape Fear Farm Credit co-workers and friends: Amy, David, Gloria, Jay, Joel, Melissa, Nelson, Randy, Sylvia, Tonya, and Vickie. We have so much to be thankful for. Everywhere I go people come up to me and ask how Cindy is doing, and we have no idea how many people are praying for us, but we know that friends and family, and friends of friends and family have been added to a long list of folks that have been with us on this journey. We ask for your continued prayers as Cindy completes her treatment and continues her recovery. May you know God's blessing and feel His presence today.

It was great to talk with you the other night....you are sounding great! I hope you are enjoying a weekend with family. Thankfully, Hanna didn't do too much damage in the Carolinas! Trevor and I are starting to work on the baby's room some. We are continuing to pray for you! Much love, Maria
