Mom is back in the ICU.


Mom was moved back to ICU on Sunday due to dangerously low blood pressure. She was able to recover fairly quickly. Her spirit and countenance is very encouraging. Her care here at Goshen continues to be outstanding. As she continues to fight through these many set backs, we continue to be very hopeful for these precious remaining days. As of today, she has been here over a month. Sometimes I learned more about who she fully is by observing her interactions with her friends and grandchildren. She knows how to love very well. Her posture and eye contacts just communicate so much life, love and compassion. There are questions which I don't have courage to ask her yet but I look forward with anticipation to have a glimpse of her graciousness and joy being with others.

II Corinthians 4:16 "16 Therefore we do not lose heart. Though outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day. 17 For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all. 18 So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen, since what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal.
