Day 13 plus one day closer to going home
This was the best day yet!!! I think I have been saying that for awhile and I like it. Erika’s strength has greatly improved and the pain has continuing to decrease. I know that means we are one step closer to going home.
To say I wasn’t disappointed that the test was put off until tomorrow would be untrue. However, I am thankful that Erika was in good enough condition that she wasn’t a priority today. From the sounds of it, if the test comes back with an “all clear” we will be going home very soon. If an operation is in order it will push that back a bit. Anyway we look at it though; the results will be fine tomorrow. If everything is resolved and there is no aneurism I shall stand on the roof and sing the hallelujah chorus. (Maybe I shouldn’t. There are enough sick people around here already.) If they do find one and an operation is in order, then let us be thankful that it was found so it can be treated.
Erika wanted me to share II Corinthians 12:9 with you tonight. The Lord said to me “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Erika is thankful to God that she can feel her body healing and asked that you pray for continued healing and strength. I second her thankfulness.
Maybe I’ll get my truck washed tomorrow. I need to get it looking good for my Queen's ride home. : ) BTW I have been entrusted with the door combination to the nourishment room. This has afforded me with a supply of popsicles and Blue Bell ice cream…for Erika of course.
We continue to be humbled by God’s mercy and the love and prayers of our friends.
With lots a love,
Tim & Erika

Hi Tim & Erika,
God bless you both and keep those good reports coming...get well soon Erika!!! Wow, you have been a very strong person through this whole process!!!
God bless,
mark, kathyrn, ellie, jake, jessica, & clark
This is all such good news! I had a feeling you would figure out how to get the ice cream code. :) Best wishes to you and Erika!
Shayzamm!! The code to the "nourishment" room, eh? That is some pretty fancy foot work if you ask me...great job! I have no doubt Erika appreciates the extra effort.
It has been great to read the last few updates. So happy to hear she is doing significantly better (even though Penn State's performance was a heart breaker for all of us Joe Pa fans...a minor setback in the big picture indeed).
Tim, please make sure you are well rested. Your work will increase tenfold when Erika comes home. I have no doubt you can handle it...but you just want to make sure you are healthy for her (sorry for the lecture). By the way...I really dig your doctor's advice. ;)
Constant thoughts. Nicole
