Karen's Day at Shands

Karen wanted a place for family and friends to be able to see how she is doing each day at Shands. This is how she is making that happen.

God will provide

August4

Hi everyone, 

It is hard to believe that I can be sitting here in this hospital bed and feel this content.  God has taken such good care of us and he has provided for all of our needs and most of our wants.  I am so proud of my husband.  We have been through so many very scary things; he has pushed me around in a wheelchair,  carried me around the camper, helped me shower, fed me,  and tried to figure out what I wasn’t able to say when I looked like I had a stroke.   He has stayed by my side when all I could do was look out of my eyes and cry.  As a family we have been through so much, but God gave me the kindest most loving man I could ever ask for.  I was really upset initially when I learned my Don was not going to get his old job back,  but I have been praying not only for him but for all the employees at BCAR.  I truly believe that God is going to continue blessing us and bless the association too.  Thank you to everyone for all your prayers and know that we will get through this too.  much love karen

    Praying for you both. I am so glad that you keep up with this blog so that we know how to pray for your healing specifically. That is so important to the folks who love you and pray for you. I’m so glad that God’s Holy Spirit is giving you peace and comfort right now!

    Don is certainly a keeper – something BCAR should have thought about a little more. Those of us who have learned so very much from Don’s tech expertise in the past know that he simply cannot be replaced. They might give someone else the job title, but we all know that it won’t ever be the same.

    I personally believe that God has bigger and better plans for y’all and that He will indeed provide for you both! I am glad that Don is able to be with you to do all these things you need right now. What an awesome God to work things out for our best even when we can’t see exactly how He’s working it all out at the time.

    Love and prayers!
