There was a time when my husband didn't know my name or our four daughter's names. I remember every "first" that we had after he began improving: <br /><br />first time he looked into my eyes, first time he spoke, first time he fed himself, first time he said I was his wife, first time he said my name, first time he reached for my hand, first time he hugged me, first time he ate a meal without doing something crazy like using his fork to stab the little tub of butter and then trying to chew it up and swallow it and my having to yell at him over and over to get him to spit it out, first time he said he loved me, first time he cried at the realization that he didn't know our daughters' names, first time he began saying their names again, first time he walked, first time he walked without assistance, first time he was able to brush his own teeth or put on his clothes, first time he went to the bathroom by himself or got a shower by himself, first time he was able to open his Bible and find a verse, first time he was able to read his Bible again, first time he was able to actually have a conversation with someone else again, first time he was able to get his own glass of tea after we got back home again, first time he was able to go outside alone and accomplish something no matter how menial a task it was, and I will never, ever forget that first day he began saying he loved me again because if he said it once he said it a hundred times! <br /><br />We bless your name, Lord Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith! May Ben and Katie have all of their "firsts" again!<br /><br />With love in Christ,<br /><br />Denise R. from TexasMomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11660616787889096916noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2090277881332820433.post-65652743848899585422011-01-24T22:11:35.575-08:002011-01-24T22:11:35.575-08:00Katie!!

Bolt up and tuck your chin Ben (maybe he doesn't even need the chin tuck?), you made it to thin liquids, guy! Congrats are completely in order. Someone else can have that can of thickener. Besides, it's gross in diet Coke. :)Brendahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10316460615855758210noreply@blogger.com
