Most of you have probably heard by now, but on Tuesday night the love of my life suffered a brain hemorrhage. Life since then has been a roller coaster to say the least. Since I am too exhausted to give you every detail, I will get to the important ones.
There are so many things that we are thankful for. She is alert and sharp. After being gone to Virginia for 4 weeks on med school rotation she had just gotten home. It was day two of her new rotation so better then being half way through. Erika can tell you the place and time it happened. She is alive!!!!!!
What can you do?
She needs prayer!!!! Although she is awake and alert, she is in so much pain. They don’t know where the bleed is coming from. She will spend the next 1-5 weeks in the hospital. Recovery will take 3 to 4 months. I have been reminded that this is a serious bleed and we are not out of the woods yet. Right before I left tonight Erika told me that her kidneys were starting to work again. She had not bothered to tell me that that had not been. She also started getting a low grade fever tonight.
Please pray that the pain will stop and that she will have a speedy recovery. Please also pray for me.
Thanks so much!!!!!!!

God bless.

Tim and Erika we are praying for you both. For Erika's quick recovery, and complete healing. For the emotional strength your friends and family will give. For the physical care from the doctors that God will use during this time, and especially for the spirtual comfort that the Holy Spirit will bring through His presence, through the Word, and through people. Proverbs 3: 5,6
