The last four days have been absolutely insane. Friday we found out that instead of starting the season with a team we would be staying here in Florida to have Josh's elbow treated. At that point, we didn't know the extent or even the nature of the injury. The team orthopedist examined the elbow Saturday and sent him for an MRI immediately. That was a huge answer to prayer: only the truth can set our minds free from worry and concern. The orthopedist examined the films later that afternoon and thought it was only a strain of the ligament due to shoulder weakness that was putting torque on the elbow.
Josh had Easter weekend off- what a blessing! For the second time in four years of married life, we were able to celebrate Christ's resurrection together at church. Up from the grave He arose...
Yesterday, the same orthopedist met with Josh and gave him the official diagnoses. It was pretty much the same. Today, Josh started rehab. The trainers and doctors think it should only take a few weeks to get everything back to normal. Please pray for full recovery and a return of the confidence, form, and mechanics that Josh has when healthy and strong.
In between all of this, we were on a housing roller coaster. At first we thought we might be here several months, so I started looking for longer term housing. The contract on our apartment ended April 6th. We thought our landlord had the place rented for the month of April, so we packed everything up and prepared to move out yesterday. A walk-through was scheduled for Monday.
I had been making calls about other housing available immediately and had found a place just down the road. We found out at the last minute that the owner was almost certain that he had a renter interested for 6-8 months. We would have to be month to month with only the first month for sure. So...there we were Monday afternoon thinking that we had no place to move the next day. Not a happy thought. Guess what happened...
God saved the day! We went out on a limb and asked our landlord if she had renters moving in right away. She didn't! She was actually planning on moving back in herself, but said she could use another month's rent and if we needed to leave sooner, that was fine too. Oh my word...what a relief!! Thank you Lord!! I still have everything packed up and am not quite sure to what extent I'll unpack it, but at least we don't have to move and then move again in 3 weeks.
So...we are still here in FL and the weather is the best it's been all spring. The beach was packed yesterday and there are always people at the pool. If anyone wants to come get some sun and go to the beach in the next few weeks, we have an extra couch.
Thank you all for your prayers!! We know that the Lord is guiding us along a good path and are thankful that Josh's elbow has no major problems. Please continue to pray for us as Josh rehabs.
We so appreciate all your support and love and know we couldn't do it without you!!
