Day Two Home

Jim's appetite is slowly coming back but he fills up very quickly. We are guessing he lost 15 - 20 pounds in the hospital and his stomach has definitely shrunk. He stayed up a majority of the day yesterday which resulted in the fluids around the brain to drain more than it has so we are encouraging him to start taking a few naps a day to stabilize those.

Its wonderful to see Jim reading the Word and his books again. We've had some awesome family discussions about what happened, how everyone felt and how incredibly grateful and blessed we are to have each other.

Jim spent a long time looking at all the cards and posters everyone has sent and shakes his head in awe of all the love and support and changed lives that has happened because of this. God is Awesome and Amazing and the Olson Family is on FIRE FOR HIM!!!

    2 Timothy 4:17-18 - But the Lord stood at my side and gave me strength, so that through me the message might be fully proclaimed and all the Gentiles might hear it. And I was delivered from the lion's mouth. The Lord will rescue me from every evil attack and will bring me safely to his heavenly kingdom. To him be glory for ever and ever. Amen.

    Thank you my God for blessing us with Jim and allowing us to be a part of all that has happened. Thank you Jim for wanting to glorify God in all you do!!



    2 Timothy 2:20-21 - In a large house there are articles not only of gold and silver, but also of wood and clay; some are for noble purposes and some for ignoble. If a man cleanses himself from the latter, he will be an instrument for noble purposes, made holy, useful to the Master and prepared to do any good work.

    Thank you for the example of "Gold" and "Noble"...
