Kristin Is Out of the Hospital

She got to leave the hospital around 4:00 this afternoon and go back to the nursing home. It is good to have her back in her familiar environment and to not have to make those long trips anymore.

I am still concerned about her rigidness and lack of eye focus and tracking. Her eyes continue to be dilated also. I am hoping with more time out of bed and up in her wheelchair, and time in general, that she might get back what she has lost. I just want her to enjoy life and be able to smile and respond to things she likes again. I would also love to see her little body relax and stop jerking so much.

I always seem to find songs that speak to me and today was no different. It is such good therapy for me to turn up a favorite CD and spend time praising God. Today's CD of choice was Jeremy Camp's "Restored". He has a song called "MY Desire" that really hit home with me today. I just want so badly for God to use my life to help others find Him.

My Desire

You want to be real, you want to be empty inside
You want to be someone laying down your pride
You want to be someone someday
Then lay it all down before the king

You want to be whole, you want to have purpose inside
You want to have virtue and purify your mind

You want to be set free today
Then lay it all down before the king

This is my desire, this is my return
This is my desire to be used by you

You want to be real, you want to be empty inside
And I know my heart is to feel you near
And I know my life
It's to do your will
It's to do your will

All my life I have seen
Where you've take me
Beyond all I have hoped
And there's more left unseen

There's not much I can do to repay all you've done
So I give my hands to use

That is my prayer. Amen
