Dear Friends,
It has been awhile since I last posted. I am so sorry. We have been trying to adjust to our new "normal" and sometimes that takes awhile. Our son-in-law is gradually improving. We are so grateful for all of your prayers and support.
Clay was in a terrible car accident on November 10 and broke three places in his neck, along with several breaks in the skull and along the spine. When he was taken to the hospital he was in a coma. We are three weeks out now and he is showing movement on both sides, is following commands, is swallowing, breathing on his own, sticking his tongue out, and starting to mouth words. We are so grateful for the improvements he has made. It truly is a miracle!
It has struck me that disabilities and challenges can affect your family at any time. All of the things Bill and I have communicated in our trainings are repeating in my mind. God is in control. He has a special plan and a purpose for all of us. God can use our greatest weakness to bring glory to himself. Look at the person, not the disability. Celebrate the things we can do on a day to day basis.
I am proud of all the hard work Clay has done to become stronger and overcome the obstacles in front of him. I am proud of Sarah for being right there by his side to encourage him and push him forward. I am proud of Chloe for just seeing Daddy and giving him all of the love he needs.
Thank you for being there for our family and extending the love of Christ. We appreciate your continued prayers for Clay and his family, Sarah and Chloe.
Blessings-
Deana
