Happy Father's Day!!!!!

Happy Father's Day!!! These are some pictures of my pops and Rick's dad. I hope all the fathers out there have a wonderful father's day because you deserve it!! I want to say a special thanks to my dad.. he really is my hero! I couldn't ask for a better dad and I can't wait to see you soon... love you pops!! And to rick's dad.. thanks for everything you do and we love you!!
Well on Friday when we went to therapy someone up above was really looking out for us. Rick was still feeling really sick but he insisted on going to therapy ( you could say he's a little stubborn at times). Right before our therapy started we went to the vending machine at the end of the hall to get some fruit snacks and right then one of Rick's doctors came walking out the door. He asked how Rick was feeling and we told him how we was really sick the day before and we thought he was better that day but he was getting sick again. Rick was telling him all his symptoms, like nausea and stomach ache, and how his stomach just felt really cold and his terrible fevers. The doctor said it sounded like a UTI (urinary tract infection.) I didn't even think about that because last time he had one he just had a fever but he felt fine besides that he didn't throw up or anything. But he said alot of the time with spinal cord injuries a UTI will have alot of different syptoms for Rick then it would for the rest of us. So he gave us some antibiotics and had us go do a urine sample to make sure. We won't get the results back till Monday, but we're pretty sure that's what it is. Rick is still kinda sick... he's still not feeling great. We're still kind of battling the fever and nausea but he sure is alot better. If we had not seen that doctor in that hall that day we would have probably come home and his infection would have got worse and I would have freaked out and taken him to the ER. It's so amazing how God is always watching out for us. He sure saved us alot of sickness and stress from sending that doctor to us right then. It sure is neat to see how prayers get answered. I know our prayers get answered everyday and He is mindful of everything we do. That's why I know that Rick will be healed, because there are thousands of prayers being said for him. Thankyou so much to everyone for those prayers... and please keep them up!!!
