Hard work
They told us that Britt would have up and down days. The transition from Brazil, then from one hospital to another has been hard on Elder Schenk. He has not felt good today and has been very nauseous. Because of this he wasn't able to do any therapy. He was able to get much needed rest and we pray that he will feel better in the morning. The obstacle slowing him down now is a terrible pain in his leg and foot. The Doctors are thinking some nerve damage. So we are just trying to keep the pain under control, while trying to keep physical therapy going. Britten was so exited that he passed the "swallowing" test, so now he can have liquids and foods again! Several Doctors came in today for consultations. We we're most excited about his eye exam. While he has slight vision in one eye, the Opthomologist said his eyes looked good. The need to do more tests but the best test is "time". We have faith that improvement will come with more time. We are so grateful for each one of you and the love and concern that you have shown our family. I sent this thought to an individual about a year ago, going through a similar situation. She sent it back to me today. It is a great reminder for each one of us. Happy moments - Praise God. Difficult moments- Seek God. Quiet moments - Worship God. Painful moments - Trust God. Every Moment - Thank God. We give thanks to God for every blessing and miracle we have recieved. All our love, Steven and Karla

Sweet, sweet. That's so great to hear. We are so aware of a loving Heavenly Father and his son, Jesus Christ. They are so evident with the miracles that have come to pass over the last month.
ReplyDeleteWe love you all. Stay strong Karla and Steven. Keep up the great work Britten. Keep smiling as we all are.
Love, David, Mary and the kids.
Keep up the great work Britten! We're so happy to hear of the progress you are making every day. Every little bit adds up. I hope you are all getting enough rest. I see it's another late night; thanks for taking the time to post some of the days events to keep us informed. I know it takes an effort to do this every night. Take good care of each other.

Hello Britten and family,
ReplyDeleteI hope I am not intruding on your privacy. I read of Britten this morning in The Deseret News.
I want to send you all my love and you will stay in my prayers. Keep up your faith, miracles happen every minute of every day.
I sustained a bad head injury back in the 70s. It took awhile, however with the help of prayers, a lot of trained people and Heavenly Father's grace and love I fully recovered when medical opinions said I would not.
Britten, when you are fully recovered you will be able to help a lot more people in your life. All the best to you all.

ReplyDeleteI have watched your blog and prayed for you. It is so wonderful to read of the progress and the miracles. I have a son on a mission who will be released in June; he and Britten have served in different areas, but close to the same schedule. My heart has felt the feelings of a mother for a son throughout the weeks along with you. I am so happy to hear of the progress, and will continue to watch your blog and pray with you. I know miracles do happen from our loving Heavenly Father.
Love

Thank you so much for taking the time to let us know how Britten is doing daily and allowing us to participate in his healing. We love you so much and it is so wonderful to see the miracles happening! It has made our family look around and see the small miracles daily that God provides, the ones we have a tendency to overlook in the busyness of life. We love you so much and will continue to pray for strength for Britten and your family and that you will feel the constant love and companionship of our Heavenly Father uplifting and carrying you at this difficult and yet amazing time filled with miracles and blessings.
