The doctor is going to try a new medication on Ron to see if it will help to improve his motor skills.
It's a drug typically used for treating Parkinson's Disease, but he wants to use it for Ron's stroke symptoms to see if it will improve his balance. He has been having problems with coordination and being able to stand up without falling back. Please agree with me in prayer that there will be no adverse side-effects and that this drug will help Ron.
Thank you and God bless you.
May God heal both the cause and the symptoms of this stroke, and restore your husband to full health.
Our rector (senior pastor) had a stroke just over a year ago, and he is now just as active as ever.

Father God, we praise You God for bringing Ron home. Your servant the doctor gives the medicine, but You are the one that allows it to work. I pray that this medicine will work for Ron to improve his motor skills and there will be no undesirable side effects that he can't handle. Thank You LORD for helping and healing Ron, In Jesus Name, Amen
Please pray.
Since Ron has been home, he has been having days when he is angry and even verbally unkind to me. I realize that this may be normal after a stroke, but he has sometimes been willful, bullheaded, etc. Nothing I do seems to be enough. Either he says that I am doing too much or not enough and, at times, refuses to cooperate with me when I am trying to help him. His physical therapist told him that it will take time for him to be able to do some things and cautioned him against trying to move heavy objects, but he just gets mad and threatens to do it anyway, no matter how much I beg him not to. He has even threatened to try to get up by himself without supervision, which could put him at risk for injuring himself.
I don't understand this anger or how to deal with it. I don't want him to do foolish things that will cause harm to him, but I am exhausted spiritually, mentally, emotionally and physically. I try to get him to see how blessed he is. All of his therapists say he is getting better, but he is still frustrated because he is not getting better as swiftly as he wants to. The Lord blessed us, so that we will be able to pay our medical bills- something he was worried about, yet he continues to focus on the negative.
I feel unappreciated and overwhelmed.
I know that this is not Ron's "real" self. I know that he is depressed. He even admitted that he is fearful and that he doesn't like to have to have help, even from me. After a month of being in a place with no Christian television or exposure to anything beyond our prayers and my reading Scripture to him over the phone or when I was able to visit, he was around a lot of unbelief. Still, it's a challenge to deal with his anger and depression at his condition being directed at me because, I guess, I am the closest person to him.
Please stand in agreement with me that Ron's mental state will be restored, as well as total recovery of his health and that God's peace and love will again reign in our household.
