A Taste of Normal

You'll never believe this, but it's true:

Dad drove himself to work today! 

While he was only there for a few hours and was definitely tired when he got back, he made it into the office.  I can only imagine the surprise and smiles he got at work.  Dad loves his job and the wonderful people he works with....he gains a sense of joy, a sense of worth and purpose, and even energy from going into work (not too many people can say that)....what a blessing the Malon D. Mimms Company has been to dad and our family to create such a great environment.  Going to work, even for a few hours, gave dad a taste of normal again too! 

I'm not sure what future days look like as we are still taking everything day by day.  Once dad got home from the hospital, we learned that dad is not yet a candidate for home care as they require patients not to go to work....and dad wants the option to go into work when he can. 

I am still in shock as I reflect on what happened today.  And I'm reminded that we serve a gracious God. 

Dad's brain MRI is scheduled for this Saturday morning.  We continue to pray for miraculous healing and strength.  Wow!
