One step back

Adam has had a pretty exciting week so far! Sunday after having Sadie, he napped then went to Ryan Conley's house for a cookout! He said he hasn't laughed so hard in a long time. He must have had quite a lot of fun during his "man time."

On Monday he spent the day at Jake's house having a Memorial Day cookout. They also went and put flowers on Grandma and Grandpa Schrader's graves at the cemetery.

On Tuesday he spent the afternoon at his doctors appointment. His appointment was scheduled for 1pm and they finally got in around 2:30-3pm. He said that he got to show Diane his true colors of joking around! I'm sure she got to finally see the "real" Adam! When he finally met with his doctor, he said that his doctor was good. He jokes around and seemed to really connect with Adam. The doctor said that he has many patients with the same injuries as Adam, and none of them are as good as Adam! Absolutely amazing! God is good isn't He?!

Today was a long and disappointing day for Adam. But he's determined to fight to get where he needs to be and I think that will keep him focused on continuing to improve! Keep fighting bro...we'll show them!!! Keep praying for him. Today I believe was a big blow in what has so far been an uphill recovery. But I knew from the beginning, we'd take 2 steps forward and at some point some steps back...today we took a few steps back, but I know that God has plans that none of us know about, and He's in control and knows what He's doing! Thank you to Rhiannon and Dewayne for enduring a long day with us!

Thanks also to Shannon and Joey Herron for the food that they took over to Adam's tonight! It's much appreciated and helps out! We are honored to have such wonderful friends! Thank you again!

Keep praying for Adam and his recovery! Also please say some prayers tonight for Baby A (no name yet), Elliot Lucas, and Gemma Monae Ridge. These are our cousin Danelle and Jason Ridge's triplets that were born today in their 23rd week of gestation. They are fighting for their lives, but are at this time doing ok. Please pray also for Danelle, Jason and their son Marcus as they begin a long journey to get these babies healthy! Pray also for Carla and the rest of the family and friends that will be making journey's to South Bend.
