Happy New Year! We hope you have all had a fantastic start to the new year. While our start may not have been the most ideal, we still have a lot to be thankful for and are excited for the upcoming year. Cami is still on track to go home on Tuesday and will hopefully begin her outpatient therapy later on this week. Again, while Cami is very excited to come home, it does make her a little nervous after being confined to the hospital for three weeks. She continues to make great progress, but it will just take some time before she gets back to the way she was before the surgery.
I have had two specific requests from many of you over the last couple of days so I thought I would address both of them here since it seems like the easiest way to get news out to everyone. The first was in regards to ways you all are able to help out. The number one way to help is by still praying. While Cami is going home, there are many things that are both difficult and different for her and going home will provide even more challenges. I have also had many people ask if they can bring meals to help out. This would make life a little more simple as we (Cami, Walt, Sherry, and me) adjust over the next few weeks. I have included a link below where you are able to sign up for a specific day to bring food so we are not overwhelmed with food. Please call before bringing food over to make sure someone is at home. Thanks in advance for those that are able to sign up. It will be one less thing we have to worry about on those days.

The second request is in regards to visiting Cami. While she is coming home Tuesday and is feeling much better, I feel it would be best to hold of on visiting at this time. I know Cami would love to see many of you, but I believe it would best for her to wait until she is feeling a little more like her old self. In the meantime, you can keep praying that Cami continues to improve and feel better so that she is able to have visitors. I will be sure to know when I think she is feeling a little more like having some company. Thanks for understanding.
Sorry for such a long post, thanks for reading to the end.

Seth,
ReplyDeleteI am a friend of Krista Weber and I had an AVM removed at the end of 2010 after I experienced three hemorrhages. One of my friends set up a Facebook page for updates and to organize prayer for me. Would you mind if I linked to this page on my page so that more people could be praying for Cami as she recovers and prepares for her next surgery? I am praying for Cami continually. I am praying especially for patience as she tries to feel like herself again. I remember feeling like I'd never feel normal again, but by the grace of God, I have no side effects that I still deal with and my surgery and 3 week ICU stay just feel like a bad dream. Praying for strength for you both!
I was a little behind on reading posts about Cami, but I am excited and praising God for His faithfulness and healing thus far. I will continue to keep her in prayer as she continues to work on, and improve tasks that can tax the mental processes--how frustrating for a teacher! I pray Cami is able to rest, and I pray for God to show her (and all of you) the many lessons and blessings that will be on the other side of this journey. Thanks for keeping us posted. It keeps me from peppering Sherry with questions, and it helps me know how to pray for you, Cami, and her parents.
