Getting better and better while our life moves ahead…
Niki played tennis in a tournament on Friday and Saturday. She may not have come away with any trophies, but she did a great job! She was exhausted, playing in 94 degree heat for 2 hours and it was so good for her to continue playing and doing her best under less than comfortable circumstances. […]
Our busy weekend…..
I sang one of our family’s favorite hymns at the Eckert Presbyterian Church on Sunday morning. Peace, Peace Wonderful Peace.. Coming down from the father, above. Sweep over my spirit forever I pray In phathomless billows of love This was a very special song that my grandfather—-my mother’s father–sang……..It was part of his SOUL…….He sang […]
One day at a time……..
Hi Everyone, We’re hanging in there. The girls are so helpful. We’ve been able to cut down on our help with Mom, at night, because Niki has been able to do 3 nights a week. Actually, I think Mom does better when she’s there because she HAS to be more self sufficient. Lillian, the lady […]
Sunday, a day of rest……kind of
Hi! I’ve been so busy that I haven’t kept up with my writing. Sorry. I do so appreciate your reading, and it makes me feel less alone in all of this. It’s Sunday and for some that mean a day of rest……for US , other than church, this morning we don’t have formal plans for […]
It’s been a blur, NOW, the work begins
Mom’s summary is at the bottom in Blue, if you want to by-pass my ramblings….. :o) Well, the past 5 weeks has been a blurrrrrrrr……. In those first moments, I guess there were choices to make. But, honestly, these kinds of decisions are ones that people must think out and consider long before the event […]
A Good Night’s sleep! and more
Mom played more than an hour of bridge, yesterday with her friends, Toots, Barbara and Darrel. She did GREAT!! She was a little slower than usual, of course. But, Barb said that she didn’t miss a bid!! Halelulia!!! She had a rough time handling the cards(Her left hand is still very uncoordinated and somewhat numb) […]
another miracle
Craig’s dad came home from the hospital yesterday. The echocardiogram on Monday showed minimal heart damage. Bob is reported to be feeling well. Of course, he now has lots of pills and a new cardiac rehabilitation program to begin. Here are the images from the cardiac catheterization showing very impressive occlusion of the proximal left […]
A thank you note from Dena
Dear Friends in Christ, Thank you so much for your prayers. Praise God I have improved dramatically. I am able to feed myself. I am doing pool therapy and can walk to & from the pool as part of my therapy. I am endeavoring to learn to play the piano God willing. Do not expect […]
The fifth night home…..can we make this work?
I have dealt with Mom’s stroke like most challenges in my life………like a bump in the road….as something to overcome with God’s help. I’ve mentioned very little about doubt or fear or exhaustion. For reality sake and for the sake of anyone reading this who might be going through something similar…….I am NOT the Superwoman […]
Craig’s Dad and God’s endless generosity…..
Of course, we’ve been writing about my mom for the past month with prasies for our Father for the miracles that he’s worked in our lives. You might think that this would mean that we may have used up our allotment with Him………..But, He IS a very giving Lord and yesterday he proved to us […]
