The President Of The United States!!

Yesterday  afternoon the visitor that Tim received was President Obama.  He came in and talked to tim and after a few minutes met with the family!!  He stayed and talked with them for about 15-20 minutes.  I will let Vicki talk more about the visit later today we will post it with a picture of them.  It was a exciting day for them.

Just a little update and Vicki will again go into more detail in her letter.  He is having a AWSOME day today!!  He is up walking, went to the bathroom!!  His fever is down still has a slight one but down a lot.  He sees the Oral Surgeon today along with tons of other Doctors that he sees daily!!

I do have a few Prayer requests and I know Vicki is probably going to get mad at me for posting this but I think it is worth the risk!!  Can you please add Vicki's foot to the prayer requests.  She is seeing a Doctor today but her swelling is hurting her and I just thought because you all are so great at prayers I would risk her getting mad at me for some of your awesome work. She is doing ok so I don't want to alarm anyone it is not bad she is just recovering from her surgery she had a couple months ago. Just not used to being up this much. 

For Tim's prayer requests that swelling keeps going down. The Appointment with the Oral Surgeon goes well. That his fever continues to go down, That his progress continues in the same direction and speed that he is doing now if not better.  That he is able to get some liquids down him soon.  And of course that the pain is manageable.

Thanks
Debbie

  1. Tim,

    I think you're the only person I know who can muster a bit of a smile with wounds looking as bad as yours. Thank God your life has been spared in such a horrible incident. To keep things on the lighter side, I graciously hired some local D.C., out of work, actors to pose as secret service and the President of the US. They should have been by your room by now. Hope you enjoy that, and don't fall for it.
    Seriously, What an honor!!! I mean, what an honor for the President of the United States to get to meet YOU!!!

  3. Yea Tim you sure look "cute" in your blues. ;) Nothin' like a cute Marine. So I hear you put the President on your list of people you'd like to have come visit? That was nice of you because I'm sure he was probably home sweatin it out waiting for an invitation. Even he knows Tim, that you are not only an amazing and worthy Marine, but such a wonderful human being. I'm so glad that God decided to leave you here with us, we really need you. I don't know what we'd do without a "cute" Marine. =D

  5. Hey Tim,

    Glad to see you are doing better.... Just wanted to let you know that I certainly appreciate what you do and I hope you are able to heal quickly. I was excited for your return, but not in this way. You just let me know when you're ready and we're off to Sushi on Fire for a good feast (and some free saki too)! Take care of youself, and I hope to see you soon. God bless!

  8. Hey Tim,
    Seems like it was just yesterday that I was wrestling with you in the middle of your parents dining room. I remember making a comment to your dad that you were a fighter and never gave up. I'm glad that hasn't changed any. Just want you to know Tim that we think about you every day and are glad that you're getting better each and every day. Before to long, you'll be in the comfort of your own home. I've heard they're taking great care of you there and if they don't, let me know and I'll send Obama back there again to straighten them out. Get well soon buddy, Can't wait to see you when you get home.

    Vicki - here is the song:
    As The Deer

    As the deer panteth for the water
    So my soul longeth after Thee
    You alone are my heart's desire
    And I long to worship Thee

    (Chorus)
    You alone are my strength, my shield
    To You alone may my spirit yield
    You alone are my heart's desire
    And I long to worship Thee

    You're my friend and You are my brother
    Even though You are a king
    I love You more than any other
    So much more than anything

  10. Tim you are an extremely wonderful Marine. Good luck with recovery and I am sure that will go well. Your parents are amazing, your mom has been so strong but there is going to come a time when she just breaks down and I hope you realize how wonderful she is and how much she loves you. Your Dad WOW, just gotta give your family props they have stayed so strong and courageous during this whole situation, wow I wonder where you get that from.
