Daily Update

The good news just keeps coming, little by little, every day. The Lord has truly has His hand upon Jen, Juniper, and Bridger!

I may have mentioned this before, but Jen has been moved down to the rehab floor. It sounds like she is getting therapy every day. I talked to her again today, and she sounds wonderful! Her left eye, the one with the blind spot, has been sort of, lazy I guess you could say, but my mom said that today it was already looking better than yesterday. Yea!

Jen seemed to really enjoy her time with Junie this week. My parents just went home this evening, so Jen had a couple of days to snuggle her little girl. Junie was so relieved to see her mama. My mom said as soon as Jen took her, Junie snuggled right into Jen's shoulder. Jen had worried at one point that she wouldn't be able to take care of Junie as well as she did before the accident, but I think it has been proven in the past couple of days that she'll be just as great of a mama as before.

In fact, Junie slept through the night for the first time while getting to visit Jen. My mom said Junie's whole countenance changed when she was with her mama. Thankfully, she has started trying to crawl and move around again.

Finally, up until today, the doctors and therapists had been saying to expect that Jen would be in the hospital for about two months. However, today my mom said that now they're saying two weeks! After that Jen will do outpatient therapy. What a praise!

Bridger will be traveling back to Rupert this weekend to do a little work and to spend time with Juniper. Then he and my parents will be back up Sunday with Junie. Please pray for safe travels for our family while they are going back and forth between Rupert and Boise. And of course, continue to pray for healing, rest, and peace!

Thank you all for your prayers. While this has been, and continues to be, a difficult and complicated time in Bridger, Jen, and Junie's lives (and many others), it has also been a huge blessing to see the Lord working in this situation. He has blessed our family mightily, and we are all very thankful!
