Rocky and I have watched this redbud tree grow from a sapling, and each April for the last decade at least we have enjoyed its bloom early in the Spring.
This year, Rocky will miss it so I have to enjoy it doubly so. Rocky is still in the hospital, of course, and has been in Select Specialty Hospital for one week today. I spoke with his doctor yesterday who said there is still hope that Rocky will make it, but he has to start eating. I reported that to Rocky and he ate much better today. He is also less anxious but is on some heavy-duty medicines. As the doctor says, he has lots of problems and is in poor physical condition. But he has not reached the "Comfort Care Only" stage, yet.
We wait to see what the near future holds and what God wills.
