Thank You for Prayer 9/26/17

26 September 2017 – Updated to 68 listed Prayer Marathon for Tony Callies
            Good News of Tony since he came home September 11th and he was able to walk upstairs and downstairs with two helpers several times until recently, it started with just a friend who helped Tony. I was surprised.  So I started to have the courage to do this with just Tony and me.
            Last Sept. 22 and 24th, that he was able to walk down stairs and up with my help, leaning on my shoulder as he held on the rail with 8 steps and walked to the car with walker.  He walked with walker from the car to Bob Evans for breakfast without using wheelchair. I was impressed.  
            On Saturday, we got handicapped tag for parking at Panera on the 24th Sunday morning for coffee and rolls. Tony walked with walker all the way to the entrance of Panera and back to the car without wheelchair. It is just as the Orthro doctor said that he expected Tony out of wheelchair.  It was an awesome sight to watch Tony walked with walker.  Someone prayed and said, "Rise and walk" and Tony did. Thank you for your prayers.  
            We have physical therapist comes three times a week for 4 weeks. The therapist tested Tony to see how he could handle himself on rail with 8 steps stairs down and up. The insurance and the charity covers all the expenses which we are thankful. Occupational therapist will also come for other things as needed such as shower, etc.
            Thank you, Lord for amazing grace that by faith Tony is completely healed in Jesus’ name. Thank you, Lord for leading the people to pray for Tony and we pray that You, Lord will also meet their needs and help others in time of trouble for You cares for all of us. In Jesus’ name, we pray. Amen!  Love you all.

Prayer for Tony 8/19/17

19 August 2017 - Prayer Marathon to pray for Tony Callies by Dorothy Callies

Prayer need for Tony:  According to his Orthro Doctor, Tony needs to be out of the wheelchair, and use the walker 100% of the time.  Tony needs full strength in his upper right arm, and his right hip.  We claim God’s promise on Isaiah 40:29, “He gives power to the faint; and to them that have no might, He increases strength.” Our prayer is that God would give Tony the strength to be healed completely in Jesus’ name. Amen!

Thank you note 7/22/17

22 July 2017 – There is a season – Devotion by Dorothy Callies

Thank you for your prayer.  Tony is improving slowly. Therapists are working hard to encourage Tony to walk more with walker. Tony and I are learning to focus on Jesus and God's strength in Tony's body. 
           
Ecclesiastes 3:1 “To every thing there is a season ... a time to every purpose under                                             the heaven.  

1) There is a season of a growing relationship with Jesus.
            John 15:4 "Abide in Me, and I in you ..."
 2) There is a season of patience and waiting on God's timing.
            Psalm 25:3 "Yea, let none that wait on thee be ashamed ..."
3) There is a season of resting.
            Ps. 37:7 "Rest in the Lord and wait patiently for Him; fret (worry) not                                          yourself ..."

Thank You Lord for Your Word is a Sword of the Spirit in Jesus' name. Amen!

May 12th News of Tony

News of Tony Callies starting May 12th that ended his staying at Heritage Health Rehab Healthcare from April 25th to May 12th. Reason? Insurance limitation to seventeen days when he should be walking, but his fracture right arm prevent him from using walker. It takes two therapists to help him walk with bar. He was forced to move out on May 12th if he could not pay for room and board since insurance no longer cover them.

May 12th was the day that the only place was opened for Tony was at Bloomington Rehab Healthcare which we were grateful. He is still there, slowing recovering and now he is able to use both his hands on walker to walk.

Record on July 19th, 2017 by Dorothy Callies
