kingskids Posted February 1, 2014 Report Share Posted February 1, 2014 We will continue to lift up R's parents (and his mom in particular with the pain she must be in). May our Heavenly Father take her injured body in his hands of comfort and help her with the pain and the healing. Be sure to post any needs here, you know this is a tight and caring group who will always help whenever possible. Might even want to post the prayer request in the general section (outside of the HDT) where you can get more eyes on the prayer request quicker. Our love to you guys and to his parents.

4Girls&aMan Posted February 2, 2014 Report Share Posted February 2, 2014 Thank you all so much for your concern and your prayers. They are being felt. We are in the Memphis area. DH's Dad is doing much better with his pain levels, as is DH's Mom. So far they are not talking surgery for any of her breaks - she is in a neck brace and a back brace and has a cast on her one arm. She was doing much better this afternoon (after taking her meds more regularly ). DH seems to be doing well and his siblings are settling down and feeling more at ease. I will probably need to help take care of my SIL's two little ones on and off for a while here, so you can pray that I have the grace to do that. Thanks again for your concern.

kingskids Posted February 2, 2014 Report Share Posted February 2, 2014 Heidi, I'm so glad you had time to update us. I was going to send you an email, but figured the last thing you needed was a ton of emails showing up. Knew you'd update when you had time. Amazing that they aren't talking surgery for so many breaks and injuries yet. She must be an amazingly strong woman! If anyone can take care of 6 children with grace, it's you my friend! You're just wired that way . Prayers will continue for all of you guys, MIL in particular of course. Let her know she has lots of folks praying? It should make her feel more loved and cared for. Hang in there, you'll all get thru it by God's grace and comfort. Keep those updates coming, ok? Hugs to you, Robert, the little people, and the "other grandparents" (you'll understand what I mean!).

Off2YNP Posted February 2, 2014 Report Share Posted February 2, 2014 Heidi! So sorry to hear about Roberrt's parents and will be praying for comfort and a quick recovery. I also pray that the medical and vehicle insurance companies don't provide any challenges. You don't need that headache on top of all the other stuff. Let us know if we can assist in any way.

4Girls&aMan Posted February 3, 2014 Report Share Posted February 3, 2014 DH's Mom is progressing slowly. She took three steps forward - literally - today, so that is amazing. She really needs to be able to breathe more deeply so her oxygen levels are at a reasonable level, so that is the prayer request for the day. Thank you all again for your thoughts and prayers. BTW, we will have 6 kids tomorrow. Did I mention 400 sq ft and 39 degrees for the high? Please pray for grace and camaraderie. Thanks!

kingskids Posted February 3, 2014 Report Share Posted February 3, 2014 Praise God for "small steps"! I'm actually amazed she can even stand up with those injuries! Prayers will of course continue - and like I said before, if ANYONE can handle 6 kids in an rv on a cold day - it's my friend Heidi. I bet you'll say "not everyone is having fun" more than once though! Hugs to all...

TreyandSusan Posted February 4, 2014 Report Share Posted February 4, 2014 Heidi, I saw your post this morning but had no time to respond before work. I am so glad things are progressing. I have been praying for you guys. Please tell DD1 that remember how much she loves quietness. I am praying that she can be loving and gracious during this wild, busy, and chaotic time! Hugs to everyone!

4Girls&aMan Posted February 4, 2014 Report Share Posted February 4, 2014 Okay, I was wrong. It was 6 kids and a high of 29. Brr! The day went quite smoothly. Amazingly two 2 year olds shared toys, the moon was repaired, the queens maid in waiting was enjoying her job, Saturn is doing well, etc, etc. We were NOT bored today! R spent the morning and evening with his Mom. She made over 40 steps today AND sat up for 2 hours! Thank you all for the thoughts and prayers.

The more she moves the sooner she can go somewhere that sick people don't always hang out. Keep the watch on the hand washing of EVERY PERSON WHO WALKS INTO HER ROOM.

kingskids Posted February 4, 2014 Report Share Posted February 4, 2014 (edited) Wow, amazing progress for mom! I know they can't "fix" broken ribs, but is there anything they're going to do about the back? Other than a brace that is... What in the world do they do for a broken pelvis?? Bless her heart. I can't imagine how much pain she must be in. Richard did just one rib, and it turned out not to be broken, and he hurt big time for about 6 months, so my brain can't even imagine what she's in for. We knew you would have a "survivable day" with all the kids - you're just hard wired for such! Glad it all went well. And I do agree with Rod - mom doesn't need to be fighting something like MRSA from germs brought in - on top of what she's got to deal with now. We'll give you a pass for this time Rod Edited February 4, 2014 by kingskids Quote Richard & Sharon For Sale - 2005 Freightliner Century RV Hauler Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

4Girls&aMan Posted February 5, 2014 Report Share Posted February 5, 2014 Ha! You guys are funny! I think there is an RDBE rule that guys can post once - as long as the subject matter is a woman. Thank you all for your concern. It is nice know that we are not walking this alone. R's Mom is continuing to hang in there. She practiced walking again today and they are having her sit up in a chair type thing twice a day. They say her sitting up will help her lungs inflate more easily and help get rid of the fluid that has built up. R is pretty exhausted. He is burning his candle at both ends - dumping tanks, etc in the morning, nursing his Mom all day, etc. Will try to find a way to get him more sleep.... Please continue to keep R's Mom in your prayers. She is such a sweetie - it's hard to see her having to go through this.

4Girls&aMan Posted February 6, 2014 Report Share Posted February 6, 2014 Well, we survived another day of 6 children. I am amazed at how God is working out the timing each day. We had to take DD2 to a podiatrist for an issue that has been a reoccurring one and we needed to find out what was the cause. Got out of the appt late and drove to the hospital to pick up our nieces and R's sister had just arrived. The timing was perfect. Things like that happened throughout the day. Amazingly the kids all got along pretty well again today - did I mention the high was 32? And - for lack of a better name - Spitfire, our 2 year old niece, has taken a special liking to Robert. If she gets a boo boo, she won't come to anyone but him, etc. It's hilarious. On to the news of the day, my MIL was moved from ICU in one hospital to a rehabilitation facility across town. She is continuing to improve slowly each day. She walked again today. The physical therapy will really ramp up now. She is still so weak and not breathing very deeply, so those are still real concerns. Tomorrow morning we will move the house across town to a campground that is only 10 minutes from the rehab facility. Aren't wheels grand?? Oh yes, R's Dad got a good report from his doctor this week, so that is wonderful. Thank you all again for your concern.

kingskids Posted February 6, 2014 Report Share Posted February 6, 2014 Praise the Lord for all of what you reported on. She's going to end up being the walking testimony to God's healing miracles!

4Girls&aMan Posted February 7, 2014 Report Share Posted February 7, 2014 R's Mom was very tired today due to last evening's move across town and then not sleeping well. The therapists did mental work today with her. Not sure when they will start the physical regime. Concerns are still that she will eat a real amount of food and regain her strength. Thank you all so much for your encouragement and concern!
