Well, Luke started back to school yesterday. Because of that, and the fact that my strength is growing. I have stayed home alone with all the kids for a few hours at a time. So far no real problems have arisen. I am allowed to lift Sarah, and the older kids have been very helpful when there is a task I don't think I shoud attempt yet. I have loaded the washer and dryer, sorted clothes, cleaned the kitchen and helped the kids in their rooms some. (And I am not doind these things all of the time so don't start calling Luke to reprove him.) Luke still bears the brunt of the chores sround here, and since he is also responsible for many other things, it is not always perfect around here (as if it ever was when I was in charge!) But God seems to be using it to help me let go of the things that are not as important as I once thought they were.
It seems that daily I am still running into someone I have not seen since before the hospital, and the conversation inevitably insues about how miraculous my journey has been. I continue to agree whole-heartedly and am amazed that God brought me through something which, for all intents and purposes, I should not have survived. He has healed me very quickly. He has given me the honor of seeing so many of the blessings that have affected peoples lifes, either through their faithfulness to pray, or through the testimony of God's grace, mercy and undeniable power and soverenty. Last week the door bell rang and I got to it before Luke. I was expecting it to be the kids coming home from school, but it was the paramedic. The first one on he scene; he came back a few days after the insident to check on me and had come again to get an update.
I hope I continue to learn of God's grace the rest of my life and i pray that I am always useful to Him in His plan. I hope I never again miss an oportunity.

I'm impressed with how much you are getting around and proud of Luke because I know he is working so hard.
Is Sarah a pretty good sleeper? How have Lily and Abigail adjusted to a new baby in the house?
By the way, I deleted the above comment. I put Lydia instead of Lily. I knew that it was Lily, but thought, "No, it has to be another biblical name." ha...or is Lily a biblical name???
Hello Emily!
I love reading your blogs, and want you to know how thankful I am to hear how well you're doing! Please continue to take good care of yourself. Watching your progress has been a blessing!
I had a lady from Dalhart email me last week to ask how you were doing. It's just amazing...your whole journey is amazing! I'm sure the paramedic was blown away for you to be answering the door!! We're still praying for complete recovery and praying it's a quick one!
I am so thankful to hear that you are doing better and better. We are praying that God would continue his healing power in your life. You have such a story to tell. And God receives all the glory!
God is faithful. Good to have you back. You will continue to bless all those around you, near and all over the world.
Blessings.
Our babies are 3 months now! Mine is Mason Wade Palmer. I remember you as our babies grow up together.
