Ben got his baclofen pump trial started on Monday and on Tuesday he was showing good signs of better muscle relaxing. The only thing was is that Ben got more drowsy with them introducing a new med to his system. He still was able to do his rehabs, eat more banana and all but he was falling asleep in between! I was not able to call up today to see how he was on day shift due to being in an airplane! See below!
As, some of you may know I am making a quick, last minute trip back to WA. I am needing a backup plan for when Ben is discharged from Shepherds. I will be touring a few places on Thursday and Friday with my mom. PLEASE pray that the Lord will guide my steps and give me wisdom to make a decision! It is weighing heavy on my shoulders because I want to make the best decision for Ben and also have a bit of family support for myself! More on this to come later...have some time still but just needed to get working on it.
Soon after I arrived in WA today my neighbor called and told me that our has had been broken into while I was gone. They got a few things that they wanted but left the rest of the house alone. All the appropriate phone calls have been made but my sense of security in my house for when I go home is now tainted! Please pray that they Lord continue to look out for our home and all that is in it that the Lord has blessed us with!
Might be a few days until I can blog again but please continue to pray for us...good and hard! The Lord is with us and says He will not give us more then we can handle but at the same time I am handling a lot right now! Trying to remain strong and trusting the Lord!

Katie.....I can't not believe all that you have been dealt and yet you continue to have a good attitude. I pray that this scouting trip will be successful and that God will give you clear writing on the wall for all the decisions you must make. Your hubby is a very lucky man! continuing to pray for you....
Katie...I'm praying right now! May the Lord continue to be your provider, protector, counselor and friend. May this trip be guided by Him every step of the way, and your return be filled with peace that passes all understanding. He is with you!
Katie- praying your time up here is fruitful and gives you what you need to make any decisions that lay in front of you. Also, I LOVE the new look to your blog! I went to "almost ready blogs" myself after seeing how cute this page is and updated mine (runningarends.blogspot.com). Although you didn't do it on purpose, thanks for the blog tip!
Hey Katie, anxious to hear how your quick trip went. Let me know if I can be any help to you in the Pacific NW and rehab centers... I have a lot of therapist-type friends who have good insights into the various places that have rehab centers in this region.
just wanted you to know i'm a new follower and i'm praying for you both!
My friend. I want you to know you are always on my mind. I am constantly praying for you guys and I know God is working miracles everyday in Ben. How did the trip to WA go? Are you going home for Christmas?
