Graduation Day

Hi! Remember me? Long time no post!


On Thursday, May 31st, Patti graduated from re-hab! YAY! God blessed us with 18 months of intensive work for Patti to assist in her recovery. That's amazing in itself because most of the people she saw coming through re-hab only stayed a few months. Many had insurance restrictions that forced them out. Others had no family or friend support and gave up. Still others quit on life altogether regardless of the support they had.


Exiting formal re-hab is exciting, but it is also a big adjustment. The truth is that re-hab continues - just at home. So Patti is continuing to work hard each day on various aspects of her on-going recovery. She works out at the YMCA three times a week and the therapists at the re-hab center gave her a small library of tools to help her along and she uses these daily. We are exploring other ways to make the effort more interesting.

Getting back into a rhythm of life is more important now, also. We have settled into a wonderful fellowship group at church that meets on Saturday nights. They have welcomed us and we have numerous new friendships developing.

I continue to be busy with work which means that Patti has a lot of time during the day by herself. Transportation when she needs to go somewhere is a problem if I'm not available. Dallas Area Rapid Transit has a door-to-door service available that Patti is now qualified for which will come in very handy in the future. We are also looking for part-time driver for Patti so that she will have the mobility she needs to go places and do things.

Please pray that we find the right person for driving and that Patti's activities settle into place in a way that is pleasing to her and promotes her on-going recovery.

Sorry for the huge gap in the blog! We will attempt to get current and stay that way!

Forever in Him!

Mike and Patti
