have you read Amy Kenny's My Body Is Not a Prayer Request? Rereading it for church group. Blown away the 2nd time too. She goes beyond the reward punishment to place of seeing what disabled have to give to abled. When I shattered my ankle, my past church made me feel bad for being disabled. It has taken decades to start to get over those internalized messages of being less or punished to a vision of a God and church that celebrate difference as the fullness of God. You and your husband are in my prayers and my church's prayers continually.
Looking for what to be grateful for since moving my husband to assisted living is the only way I am making it through the days-I had to purposely let go of what I thought our life would look like at this point-to quote Jerry Sittser, we live in the tension between beauty and terror. It sounds like your husband is fortunate to even be alive-you both will be in my prayers today
