Remarkable

I went into the examination room with Eileen while her mother stayed in the waiting room. The doctor and her assistant were amazed at the way Eileen walked through their office. Essentially none of what the doctor expected Eileen to still be battling is present. Eileen is doing remarkable well, almost astonishingly so. However, the doctor stuck by her original cautions. She said that Eileen can drive a little, as in going to the store, but is not to lift, carry, or bend down. However, Eileen can reach up. The doctor was even pleased with the remarkable healing of Eileen’s external wound sites too. The doctor was very happy with Eileen’s progress and showed it. Praise God.
On the way back to the car, I mentioned to Eileen’s mom that Eileen did so well because someone took such good care of her. She said, “Yes, she has a good husband.” I responded, “No, it’s because she has a good mom.” After we finished patting each other on the back we laughed and we all headed home.
