Breaking News: Jennifer has been transferred to the Encompass Rehabilitation Hospital! Answer to prayer. Thanks all for the prayers.
The day was long. Waiting, waiting. But then we got the news and things accelerated quickly. The most amazing intersection occurred at 5pm: Jennifer rolled out of the front door of the towering University Hospital in a wheelchair; Julia and Abby arrived from their long SLC-CLT-PIT flight in a car rental; and Josiah and Barbra Bancroft rolled in from Philly on their way to lead a Sonship weekend in Kentucky. What a reunion! Mom sucked in the balmy summer air she has been dreaming of and we all feasted our eyes on her sitting in the front of that Jeep, clothed in her WV “Home” t-shirt.
Since only one person could be part of the in-processing at the rehab center, I went to dinner with Josiah and Barbra while the kids took Jennifer to Encompass. The report from Abby is that Jennifer’s room is “bleak.” Barren. No decor. No furniture save the hospital bed. Perhaps it will motivate Jennifer to work harder to graduate from the program and get home.
So now we enter this new phase. Jennifer will be in intensive Physical, Occupational (and perhaps Speech?) therapy. We can send only one visitor to joint her from noon-8pm. Tomorrow-Julia (who leaves Sunday to go back to her MBA classes at U of Utah); Friday-Abby…and beyond that not yet determined.
Luke and Jack (and Botu) are planning to drive from SLC starting Friday. Those guys are crazy. Couldn’t talk them out of it.
Prayer Requests for Rehab:
- Continuing progress in regaining strength, balance, coordination, and sight.
- Good relationships with the staff for Jennifer.
- That Jennifer would be encouraged by the visits of her kids, one-at-a-time.
And finally, a Quote of the Day (from early this morning):
Me: Who should we call? I can’t remember who wanted to talk to you today…
Caleb: Everyone wants to talk to mom. We should start auctioning off slots to talk to mom.
Mom: Limited time left. Hurry up.

Well done, Jennifer! Thank you for this amazing report, Scott. All glory to Jesus!
Would it be an encouragement for us to send notes and kid drawings to the rehab?
So thankful to see this news... curious - is it Bridgeport or Morgantown?
Praying for rehab - divine cooperation and motivation... for all the children and yourself to refresh each other and be refreshed... LORD You are good and Your hesed endures forever.
Thanks be to God. Love you both so much.
Thanks be to God for this next step towards recovery. Being with your kids will be healing. I’m praying that the therapists will know how best to target their treatments and that Jennifer will embrace the resting part of brain healing.
So happy for your good news! Praying that each of these days will be precious time together for Jennifer and each of you ❤
