Sorry bro. You picked the wrong thread to krap in.
Dearest Father, thank You for the good things we receive in this life, thank You for our afflictions and their role to remind us of our need for Your Word and our hope for salvation which is Your promise fulfilled in Christ Jesus. I ask Your mercy continue for Babalu's healing, strengthen his family and friends to support him in his rehabilitation, strengthen his caregivers to fully know and use their gifts of healing, and strengthen us all to know You through Your Word, that we each may call You Father as Your children through Christ Jesus, in whose Name I pray. Amen.
I was able to visit babalu at his LTAC (LongTermAcuteCare) rehab center this afternoon
1.) firstly, I bring you a message from Mrs.babalu....she would like everyone to know how overwhelmed she & her family are by the outpouring of support shown to Jeff by so many here & elsewhere
she specifically stated how she sat down at the keyboard many times to post a message of gratitude here but became too caught up in a swirl of emotions to put words together, something I think we all would understand
2.) Mrs.babs said that all the indications are that Jeff is close to getting the right neurons firing at the right time to regain the simple motor faculties that we all mostly take much too much for granted so they can begin to take positive rehabilitation steps rather than simple care maintenance -- it's just a waiting game now
she is convinced he can hear everything being said around him, he is just unable to show coordinated manners of response at all times, sometimes but not all the time
3.) babs LOOKED GOOD as I sat next to him...I just began talking about how many here have responded with well wishes, words of encouragement, made GoodKarma beer toasts (YES, Dwight Schrute, I gave you credit for starting them )
and then I read a list of about 30 names I thought he would remember that had posted in frankw's thread to see if I could get a reaction --- Mrs. babs told me later she could see some eye movement (like in a REM-sleep I think) as I was reading
I ended by reading one of Box_O_Rock's prayers to Jeff -- one that I told him I thought he would enjoy hearing as I hadn't been in a church for any SERIOUS personal business since my wedding 38 yrs ago, but Box's words certainly moved me when I read them and I hoped they would do the same for him
I also left DVDs of all the Pats games to date for Mrs.babs to play for him on a personal player in hopes hearing the broadcast action will spur that brain to begin working well again (I told her I edit out ALL commercials --especially the Miller Lite ones -- becuz I knew they would just piss him off to hear, LOL)
in summary, keep all your GOOD KARMA thoughts & postings POURING IN until that boy getz back on his feets again :Lecture:
^^ I was in MyBestBehaviour mode I'll have you knowYou're such a good egg
One question: Was Mrs. Babs a lil creeped out when you laid on teh floor and ate a banana?
Great idea of the game dvd's though bud!+1
then I threatened to come back and pull on babs' catheter until he wakes up for good so I CAN GO INTO rehab, dammit
Accursed heathen! Repent and be saved!
