Slow Road to Recovery

I can't believe it's been as long as it has since I last posted. I can't say that there's a tremendous amount of stuff to report. Barbara is doing well at rehab, although progress is predictably slow. She is back to walking again with minimal assistance and a walker. Our biggest struggle right now is getting this Medicaid Waiver stuff taken care of. It's amazing how many people who handle these issues know so little about these issues. We seem to know more about the waiver than 99% of the 99,000 people we've talked to trying to get things started. I've said it before and I'll say it again, anyone who thinks national healthcare is a good idea should spend a day working with government "insurance" programs already in place. This is a great country, but we can thoroughly bungle any good thing we try to do!

Keep us in prayer that the waiver issue will be solved so that I can finally get some help here! I feel over my head most of the time. Nevertheless, God is blessing us in many ways. It's so wonderful having Barbara here and I thank God for that every day.

Just to get you fully up to speed, though, Barbara still does not walk on her own, but is working on it in rehab. She also requires my help doing many things most of us take for granted. She is upbeat about her progress and quite tired from all the exercises she does.

Thanks for your ongoing prayers for our financial situation. I still have no idea how this will all turn out, but again, God has helped us this far and I have no reason to think He'll back off now!
