"I am the LORD, the God of all mankind.  Is anything too hard for me?"  Jeremiah 32:27

Well it has been one week since discharge from hospital, and what a great week we had, but yes all great things must eventually change, and so today we had the first physio assessment.  They have decided to set Nate up for physio three times a week for two hours each time.  This leaves two days for doctor appointments - hopefully only one of these days will be needed for appointments.  At this time we also do not know for how many months this physio will continue on for, or when Nate will be getting his "training" prosthetic.  (He will not be getting his official prosthetic until they work out all the issues with the prosthetic and assess how he walks on it etc etc.)

At this time we are thankful for all those who have volunteered to drive Nate for physio, this will truly be an asset for our family, especially for me.  Thank-you!!

Since Nate will have on going physio for the next number of months, we have decided that this will be our last blog entry.  I or Nate will try to write at least one blog when he gets his prosthetic, but that won't be for a while.  If you hear rumors of a prosthetic please check the blog for the complete proper update. 

We would like to take this time to thank you for sharing with us as we travelled down this life altering road.  Our Heavenly Father has given us so much through you and your encouragement.  Thank you for your continued prayers, our Father has heard and answered them according to His perfect plan.
Please continue to remember us in your prayers as the road is still long, and there are many obstacles yet to overcome, but with the LORD on our side, who can stand against us. (Ps. 124)

  9. So thankful for all the healing that Nathan has experienced the last number of months. What a blessing that you can be altogether as a family once again. God did give you all the strength and courage you needed at that time. God will never leave you - He loves you all - and will continue to give all that you stand in need of. The power of prayer. Psalm 121 - wow what a beautiful scripture you picked as your wedding passage. What an awesome God we have!

    Wondering who I am.....an old neighbour across from the Diek Farm - Nathan was just a baby at the time (nee VanderMeulen). I heard about Nathan, and followed your blog - Never commented, but for sure were on my heart and prayers.

    God's Blessing to you all! Evelyn Tilstra
