Lord willing, we will check out of the hospital tomorrow morning. The church Jon visited Sunday has offered to take us and our luggage to the apartment at no charge. (God is awesome!) As Julie recuperates and hobbles about more easily, we hope to see some more of fantastic Singapore, using a rented wheel chair and public transportation to get around wisely.
I borrowed a wheel chair yesterday and took Julie by taxi to the Singapore Botanic Gardens, a lovely park nearby that includes their renowned permanent orchid gardens. (It cost us $1 each to enter because we’re now senior citizens.) Appropriately I got more exercise than Julie did. She did stand now and then, however, to stretch and for a few pictures in some beautiful settings. She felt wonderful after our excursion, having seen almost nothing of modern, clean, safe and friendly Singapore before now.
God has been very good. With our son’s expert and quick research and his dedication of time, we have found tickets to Guam at reasonable prices that also include 2 bags @ 50 lbs for each of us, meaning there won’t be any problems of extra charges now. We will have about a week more in Singapore before we fly to Guam the 19th and visit family before returning to the US about 2 weeks later.
God is amazing. We found out that the latest physical therapist is also a Christian, one more encounter to reinforce how God has been surrounding us with His protection and love. The therapist has worked with Julie, giving her what he felt was the most realistic and practical counsel and training (such as walk more for health and speedy recovery and how to deal with stairs when she must).
The hospital performed a bone density test yesterday, and there is no current concern for osteoporosis. Thank God! (Some of you may remember that several years ago that was a different case and aggressive and creative solutions have resulted in strong healthy bones). They also want to take one more x-ray before we leave Singapore to verify/document bone healing. Otherwise, we’re ready for the next ‘steps’. :^)
This is all an answer to your specific prayers from the past few days. Our God hears the prayers of His children and, because He hears and loves His sheep, He has provided for us. We treasure your love and concern for us.
As a result of feeling like we’re well out of “crisis mode”, we may not be posting daily but back on a more 'normal' schedule. We always welcome your prayers on our behalf.
