Sunday 12-31

today was another one of steady progress in speech and general responsiveness. steve is progressing also in reading and reciting (months of the year), but it has been a rough one on mom. steve is receiving a brain stimulant as part of the normal course of action, and dosage is tricky. he has been hyper-active all day. all of the staff and the docs say that this is just a regular part of the process, but some things are very difficult for a parent to watch. more tomorrow-tom

Hi Schmit Family,
The New Year is here and I pray there will be continued progress in Steve's recovery. I understand how hard it is to stay with and watch a loved one on a long road to recovery. About 4 years ago my husband's (Steve) mother came to visit us and went in for bowel obstruction surgery and had complications and was in ICU for 138 days. She was on a respirator and had a trachea and all the tubes. It was a difficult time. Long story short. She was in a nursing home 2 years but she graduated from there and is now doing great in her own home in Florida. She is our miracle.
In 2 Corinthians 1: 3-4 it reads "What a wonderful God we have! He is the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the source of every mercy. He comforts us in our troubles."
I pray you find comfort in God's strength and know that He will give you the power to get through the days ahead. Your family is in our thoughts and prayers.
Love Val
