Eating Again!
Britten probably had his best night sleep last night, but the morning was a bit rough. He struggled through physical therapy dealing with his pain and nausea. It was a pretty emotion day for Britt as what eye site he had, has started to diminish. It is very scary and frustrating to him and we're hoping to talk to a Doctor about it tomorrow. His afternoon session of PT was awesome. He walked down 2 long halls, out of the hospital and onto the patio. The fresh air felt so wonderful but we we're in the cool shade. So the PT had him walk out of the patio area, up a sidewalk and into the nice, warm sun. It was definitely a moment to enjoy! I told you that Britt was upgraded to a general diet meaning, He can eat Anything! No more puréed foods. He had a great supper along with half of moms sandwhich. Britt enjoyed a visit from a fun-loving Aunt that brought him a Rootbeer! He thought that was so awesome! Then she gave him a great foot massage while he sat and ate a "Frosty" that his Dad brought. It was so wonderful to see him eat again! It was a up and down day, but where glad to end it looking up. May we all "look up" as we count our many blessings, and give thanks to our loving Heavenly Father. All our love, Steven and Karla

That was so awesome to read of Britt's venture out into the sunlight. After being inside for so long that must have been a wonderful and refreshing experience. I'll bet the frosty was great too!
ReplyDeleteWith all that I have gone through recently, and now facing my big cancer surgery this coming Monday, I suppose in some small way I have been identifying with Britt's struggles. But, each day as I read of Britt's tenacity and strength it has helped to give me courage. If he can do it, so can I. You're my hero Britt! I have also appreciated your comments about the tender mercies of our Heavenly Father. I too have felt them many times. I know He lives and loves us and will strengthen us as we turn to Him.
I love you all and will continue my prayers for you.
Love Aunt Laura Schenk
Wow! He has come so far to now be eating all solid foods! How wonderful. It was good to talk to Logan and Lora this week and hear about their visit with him. Your family continues to be in our prayers!

Cajamarca - Perú.
Familia Jave... Yo estuve en Cajamarca en 1977~1978 de mision. Steve Schenk es mi primo. No me recuerdo de Uds. Es un mundo muy pequeno!
Delete¡Sí que lo es...! En la época que vino a Cajamarca, no eramos miembros de la Iglesia, fue tiempo despues que conocí la Iglesia por una tía, ahora mi hija y yo somos miembros de la Iglesia. Supimos del accidente de Elder Schenk por noticias de la Iglesia y desde ese momento hemos estado al pendiente de él y su familia, orando con todo nuestro corazón porque se mejore y sigan fuertes. No sé si la Fam. Schenk han podido entender nuestros mensajes, entiendo el inglés, pero no escribo muy bien. Me alegra saber que Usted es su primo y ha estado en Cajamarca por su Misión. Disculpe el atrevimiento, pero por favor le pido exprese a Elder Schenk nuestro afecto y deseos sinceros de mejoría. Admiramos mucho a la familia Schenk por su valentía y fe. Para Usted mis más cordiales saludos. Cuando guste y desee saber de Cajamarca con gusto le haré saber. Hasta pronto.
DeleteSunshine is a great cure for everything! Hope you enjoy many more days "outside" Britten. We know this is such a roller coaster ride for you and we feel every up and down with you. Stay strong and faithful as you always have been and know that we are all intensley praying for you. Wish we could do more...

Reading Elder Britten Schenk "journal" in the internet has been part of my daily readings! I do not know him, I have never seen him, but we love him anyway!
ReplyDeleteIs Elder Schenk in Brazil or he has moved to US?
