Good Friday is here

Since I took Julie and Ruby to the airport last Sunday morning, we have had an almost normal week. Make sure to check out all the Ruby Pics we posted.

Adele was certain she was sick on Sat evening and Sunday morning and called the family doctor for an appointment on Mon morning. She also cancelled and then un-cancelled her therapist appointment for Monday. I was not too happy about her cancelling such an important date.

Monday morning was foot doc for me, family doc for Adele and then therapist at noon for Adele. Yes, she has a very slight drainage down her throat and has received 3 or more medicines to take care of it. She started taking all of them, and then on Wed realized that the antibiotic gives her other problems, and called back for another type of antibiotic. She is weird sometimes, but knows what ails her more than I do - sometimes she is just over reacting and other times she is serious. It becomes harder and harder to differentiate between the two.

Dr Meade at JH was emailed by Adele Thursday and replied that her bone marrow sample was done and looked perfect! His words were, "Fresh from the oven .. your marrow was beautiful." She cried tears of joy when she saw that. I had kept saying he would have contacted us had the sample been a problem.

I plan on church this Sunday - she still is hesitant to go and be in crowds, even with the balcony almost deserted, she is not going. I want to get there for the service, as I know everyone will be there.

My friends are all better:

Somsavath in Laos is home, his son is back in the house again and he is recovering, and trying to get back to work.

My brother-in-law Jim M. has sent his manuscript to an agent in the UK and is hopeful that it will be printed. He has spent many years writing his story and it is a very interesting read, with his many years of service as a helicopter pilot in the Vietnam War.

Molly is back from JH - wow a short 3 night stay there - and I have it from good sources that she is getting better every day. Last I heard, she was concerned about moving from the bed to a chair, and now she is sitting in the chair comfortably! There is much more healing to be done, but she is a survivor.

Thank you all again for the prayers of hope, strength and healing. We appreciate everything you have done.
