Wayne is still in the hospital. It has been five weeks now. He was cured of his original lung infection but because he has been in the hospital so long, he contracted a second infection which put him in quarantine for a few days. He is a battler though and he has beat that set back also. He can go home when he can walk a presribed distance and be able to climb two steps. His strength building therapy hit a plateau for awhile and did not improve but now he is improving slightly.
He still doesn't complain and is a blessing to all of the hospital workers. His has had many different visitors who encourage him and in return he encourages them.
Chloe and I will travel to Iowa to be with him. We will be there about two weeks. We hope to get him home and arrange for his care in his home. Yes, Wayne still lives in his own home thanks in part to a lovely Christian couple, Val and Carl, who are his neighbors across the street. We are blessed to have them in Wayne's life.
Chloe and I (and Wayne) are at full peace of heart in this situation. Wayne has had much prayer and love heaped on him. We know that Wayne is living on extended time but he remains a vibrant person interested in the lives of others. We still have much to learn from Wayne if he stays around a little longer.
John 14:27 “I am leaving you with a gift—peace of mind and heart! And the peace I give isn’t fragile like the peace the world gives. So don’t be troubled or afraid.”
