Went to see Pete last night. He was really struggling. Pain and immobility
along with sleep deprivation are a real challenge both physically and emotionally. Time is creeping. He keeps on saying how unbelievably long his day is, with little to take his mind off all the different tubes, drains and lines that are tying him down.
Constant beeping and alarming of monitors on the High Dependency Unit are making it difficult to relax and find rest. We both felt, that this part of the journey was his toughest challenge yet, a bit like "the valley of the shadow of death" in Psalm 23. It was comforting to read Pete's favourite Psalm 27 and remind ourselves of the last verse " I am still confident of this. I will see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living."
Hang in there, Pete !
Hi beautiful lady I admire your strength throughout this situation and I know as you said earlier that God is with you as well as Pete. I have recently been reading a study on Psalm 23 and its brilliant remember it is only a valley of shadows and as when we were children and we are frightened of shadows. We would call out for Mum and Dad they would come and all would be great how much sooner does God come when we call, he is not even in the next room. Well done xx I know you are busy but if you do get a chance try to read what she says about the 1st line of Psalm 23 the web address is

its well worth a look and hopefully will help.
Loving the patchy chest hair, looks like you were set upon by some wax wielding pixies.
ReplyDeleteWe just continue to think and love and pray for you all especially dear Pete during these really slow and painful days of healing. May you all be cushioned in His peace, beyond understanding.
