Today was the first day of Scilla's intense schedule of 3 hours of daily therapy. After her first 2 hour morning session, I think the reality of Priscilla's paralysis hit her. She called mom and was very upset. Her therapist said she did very well; an excellent job this morning, but Scilla was trying so hard to move her legs and couldn't. The reality that she was paralyzed and her legs were not going to move, hit home!
If you read one of today's earlier posts; you will note that I mentioned the topic of reality and giving false hope and I think I may have been on the correct path about deciding that I would no longer say she would walk again, but instead to be a positive supporter.

ReplyDeleteBlessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and the God of all consolation, who consoles us in all our affliction, so that we may be able to console those who are in any affliction with the consolation with which we ourselves are consoled by God. For just as the sufferings of Christ are abundant for us, so also our consolation is abundant through Christ. If we are being afflicted, it is for your consolation and salvation; if we are being consoled, it is for your consolation, which you experience when you patiently endure the same suffering that we are also suffering. Our hope for you is unshaken; for we know that as you share in our sufferings, so you also share in our consolation...He who rescued us from so deadly a peril will continue to rescue us; on him we have set our hope that he will rescue us again, as you also join in helping us by your prayers, so that many will give thanks on our behalf for the blessing granted us through the prayers of many.
Thanks Harriet! Those verses are perfect reading and encouragement...
