What a great weekend we have had. Before Ryan ever went to the hospital, he received an invitation from two of his students to attend their National Technical Honor Society induction today as an honored teacher. Ryan very much wanted to attend, but we weren't sure if that would happen or not. I was actually planning to attend in his place if he wasn't feeling up to it. We slept in again this morning and he thought that he would have enough energy to go, so we went to my parents for lunch with them and my brother's family and then we left Aubrey with Grandma and PaPaw and went to CTC. Ryan was able to walk up on stage with both of his students.
We then visited with Ryan's brother and sister and brother-in-law at his parents' house for supper.
Aubrey had an exciting day because she got to see all her grandpas and grandmas, all her aunts and uncles, both of her cousins, and both mommy and daddy were home too!
We serve a mighty powerful and loving God. I am so thankful that Ryan got to be home this weekend. When I return him to the hospital tomorrow, I know the time is finite and as long as all progresses well, he will be back home again next weekend.

I am soo thrilled that Ryan was able to attend the National Technical Honor Society presentation as an honored teacher. To have two students who were "his" from the get go achieve admission to the NTHS is a reflection of the inspiration and motivation Ryan instilled in them.
ReplyDeleteA thought: Jesus's followers called him "Teacher". Jesus took fisherman and tax collectors and changed their life's work to that of bringing people to God's unconditional love.
Ryan, you are teaching your student lessons not only for this world, but for the next.
Please know that you, April and Aubrey and your extended family have been in my thoughts and prayers.
Hugs,

ReplyDeleteWhat a blessing to hear what a wonderful weekend you were all able to share! Like others, seeing that you were home together and enjoying each others company brought tears to my eyes. You have such a positive attitude about the whole situation, and it's a blessing to see that in the midst of trials, you are standing on the Rock!
We'll pray that this week passes quickly and is filled with good news and blessings!
