He arrived home on September 5th. He has been sleeping a lot but overall doing very well. He is still gaining strength back again which obviously takes time. He had a doctors appointment here in Amarillo last Tuesday. Basically this doctor's appointment was just a check up and requesting medication that he needed. The doctor here will be taking care of him from now on except for his liver medication. Needless to say, I am thrilled he is finally home full time. He has always been a hard worker but currently he is only able go out for a couple of hours then he is ready to get home and take a nap.
Lately, the only issue we have had, which does not even relate to his liver, is his shoulder. It was hurting for about 6 weeks. Basically, the pain was from lifting too much weight when he was not used to it. For a long time, the weight limit was 10 lbs but now I believe he can lift more as he becomes more comfortable.
Abel's parents were here for a month and a half and his brother Eddie was here for 2 weeks. We had a great time together and even though there is a language barrier (which is obviously a challenge) we still enjoy each each others company.
We are obviously very blessed and can not thank everyone enough for their encouragement. Everyone has been very supportive and we are so thankful for friends from school, church, as well as others in the community...even people we do not even know. God has blessed us so much and we give all glory to Him. We all know that God could have taken my husband home to be with Him but we are all thankful God chose to spare his life. I believe God is going to use him in a BIG way!!! I am so thankful for IMS insurance especially Susan. At first I was very frustrated with the long process, now I see it was all in God's perfect timing. We have so much to share of God's provision and blessing and do intend to share with time. The thing I love about our story is God shines through. There is nothing special that my husband or I have done. Our story is a testimony of God's goodness and blessings; that is exactly what we intend to share!
