Day 84

Dad had another good day yesterday. He was positive, happy, and hard-working...all answers to prayer. Cole spent the day with mom at the hospital, and was even able to go to therapy with Bapa. He was put to work helping Bapa do his exercises, playing catch with a balloon, even playing Connect Four...or at least attempting to. It was just a good day all around.
Today Pops felt a little sick and was running a slight fever. They took a chest x-ray and we should get the results tomorrow...we pray, pray, pray that it's not pneumonia or an infection. Our hope is that he wakes up feeling better tomorrow and can return to therapy. Because he wasn't feeling well, he didn't get into his wheelchair at all today, so we hope he will be able to get out of bed tomorrow. Big prayers that tomorrow is a better day.
As mom said, for now it seems he's "on the mend". His attitude has certainly taken a turn for the better and he is more himself. Hard to believe that twelve weeks ago today was the accident. As I think about the emotions of that first day, I am reminded what a miracle it is that dad is even here. It really is amazing. Only by God's grace....
Thanks for the prayers...84 days worth...and still counting. God is good. Onward and upward.

I am guessing that a day with Cole was the best therapy Bapa could have had. The kids at AWANA are looking forward to the day when Mr. 'B' will be back with us. Until then, they pray for his recovery. To the Bohrman family, your faith and courage continue to inspire. God Bless You,
