Discharged From The Hospital

Thank you, God, for doctors and nurses who care for Jim and can manage his pain and nausea so he is comfortable.

Thank you that someone figured out that cutting into Jim’s head would reduce his headaches.

Thank you for nurses who hug Jim and me when we leave and whisper in our ear that they are praying for us.

Thank you that Jim is upright and feeling better.

Thank you for friends who come by to visit.

Thank you for Brad who was a huge help this weekend, and who was so sweet and gentle with his mom when the tears came again.

Thank you for friends who provide hot yummy meals for my family so I don’t have to wonder what to make for dinner.

Thank you that Jim could join the family at dinnertime tonight and lead us in prayer.

Thank you for all those who have come week after week to blow our leaves.

Thank you for all the people who send cards and words of encouragement that mean so much.

Thank you for the text messages and phone calls from friends who continue to support us and check in on us every day.

Thank you for a friend who counts it a "privilege" to drive us to Ann Arbor tomorrow.

Thank you for friends who come at a moment’s notice to help Brad rotate the tires on our van and buy tires for his car.

Thank you for a friend who helps me put one foot in front of the other when I don’t know what to do next.

Thank you for both Jim’s family and my family who call to check in on us and pray for us.

Thank you for cell phones so that Jim could be part of John’s prayer service and be encouraged by someone who prayed for him.

Thank you that Dan is a perfect match and You planned it that way.

Thank You Father for providing in the midst of trials. Thank You that we can pray 24/7 and that You do not turn a deaf ear.
Continue to be with the Millers Lord. Continue to give strength, understanding, wisdom, grace, patience, and endurance. Remind them daily of Your love for them. Help them sleep- even a little bit. In Jesus' Name- Amen.

My prayers are with you as you travel to Ann Arbor. You already have a long list of "thanks" for Thanksgiving. Let's have one more - Thank you Lord that Jim is able to have the bone marrow transplant!
