A friend reminded me the other day that it's been a long while since I blogged. Nathan is making good progress in physical therapy (he's walking with a cane now!), but his progress in therapy is limited by the fact that the fixator is still in place on his left leg.
And he's got a long ways to go when it comes to his reconstructing his jaw and teeth. He had two root canals this past week, and hopefully, we can push through with surgery on his jaws this coming week. The surgery on his jaws is to be synchronized with the removal of the fixator on his left leg and the removal of two screws from his right ankle. We'll see if all that can be arranged this coming week. We are a bit weary.
I was reminded, as I typed the word "weary," that that is the precisely the word Isaiah 40:29-31 uses to describe the condition that the Lord wants to help us with:
"He gives strength to the weary
and increases the power of the weak.
Even youths grow tired and weary,
and young men stumble and fall;
but those who hope in the Lord
will renew their strength.
They will soar on wings like eagles;
they will run and not grow weary;
they will walk and not be faint."

dear greg,
I used to be a counselee of Hannah back in manila a few years back. A relative in Canada told me about Nathan last Nov. I have been reading your blogs and praying for you all.
Sometimes your blogs make me cry... It is hard for us to comprehend the love of God for us...but your experiences of HIM show a relationship that is real.
I will continue to pray for His strength and power for you all. For how could we face all of this on our own ?
May you continue to be encouraged by those who journey with you... even if only through your blog...
Sincerely,
josie tiu
We continue to pray, and are encouraged by your blog's. You're not standing alone.
