First Independent Sit to Stand!

For the first time since July 30th, 2021, Rie stood up from sitting, all by herself. Once her wobbling and our amazement settled down, she did ten squats, twice! We realized Satan wants us to hurry and fail, but the Lord teaches us patience to get stronger, in Him. 💪🙏

...but we glory in tribulations also: knowing that tribulation worketh patience; And patience, experience; and experience, hope: And hope never disappoints...(Romans 5).

    That's AWESOME!! Praise be to God whose STRENGTH is made perfect in weakness (2 Cor. 12:9)! He is faithful and his timing is perfect. Thank you, Lord, for restoring Rie’s body from the crown of her head to the sole of her feet and for growing our individual and collective faith and reliance on you. ”Go Rie Go!! We love you and God’s got you!! 💞🙏❤️

    Tears of Joy!! God is good all the time and his timing is always perfect. In the mighty name of Jesus, let every muscle, tendon and ligament in all areas of Rie’s body get stronger and more agile. Let energy fill the cells of her body and all aspects for movement and cognitive abilities increase every hour until all abilities are fully restored. Let it be so in the mighty name of Jesus! Amen.

 EVERYTHING WILL BE ALRIGHT! Hi.  This is Sasan.  On Friday, July 30th, 2021, my wife Rie woke up from a  dream that she shared with my 13-year-old daughter, Mia.  This was an unusual dream.  Rie had never had a dream like that before.  Rie told my daughter that in the dream she "felt surrounded by God's presence", telling her: "EVERYTHING WILL BE ALRIGHT".  Rie and Mia wondered about the meaning of such a strange dream.  We praised God for the message. A few hours later while Rie, Mia, my brother and I were eating lunch at a restaurant, Rie had a 30-second seizure.  The restaurant "happened" to be next to St David's Medical Center Emergency Room.  Within one hour, she had a life-saving craniotomy to evacuate a massive intracranial hemorrhage.  Going from the ER to the CT scanner, then to the OR within an hour is unheard of.  To have the best and the kindest neurosurgeon on call and immediately available was clearly a mira...

 Today is Mia's 16th birthday.  The three of us went shopping for clothes for her yesterday.  It was the first time in over two years that Rie shopped without a wheelchair, using just a standard quad walker.   It almost felt like a normal pre-stroke shopping day, including the backache I used to get whenever we went shopping for clothes! Praise God. ❤️🙏

It’s been one year!

It’s been one year since Rie’s stroke on 7/30/2021. We’re thankful for the steady progress despite so many complications. Every apparent set back has proven to be a set up for something better. Praise the Lord! ❤️🙏
