"My family is really struggling with the reality of a long recovery. I
think because we are home with john we subconsciously expected fast
progress. Especially how well he has done so far. We are all still
grieving in our own way. Joe gets angry at simple things easily and
really wants john back. Kelly is constantly angry at her mom. Kate
maintains a cheerful smile but I catch her rubbing her eyes. Erin holds
it together all day but then cries in the dark at night. I am impatient
with our emotions because I want us to be strong and I am irritable
because I can't fix it. I am hurting seeing john so desperate for real
food that he asks to lick the left overs from our plates. It is so hard
to go through this without knowing what the future holds. When we think
about the past we are reminded of what we have lost. When we contemplate
the future, fear threatens to overwhelm us. To survive we can only give
thanks for each day that God gives us. When we are able to live in this
moment right now, we can still enjoy life even when it doesn't look
like we hoped it would be. Please remember to pray for us. I am
desperate for your prayer."
