Another week come and gone.  It's amazing how fast the days go considering they are long for me - but decent for R.  Long in the sense that I leave home pretty early and get home pretty late.  He just seems to have a wonderful tolerance for his days.  Today he wasn't quite as peppy as the previous couple of days.  He still got up today and walked several walks. He had his tea in the sunroom this morning and we sat down there this afternoon when I got there.  His appetite is good.  He has the volunteers making him pretty much whatever he wants.  He is still very chatty with anyone that will listen.    He learned today they are going to dial in his medication to make one of the pain pumps he has into an oral medication so he can lose the pain pump that is going into his stomach.  In doing that over the weekend - we are looking at possibly bringing him home on Tuesday or Wednesday.  That would be wonderful!!!  Pray hard on that one!!!  It would be good for all of us. 

The leaders from our church came tonight and laid hands on R and annointed him with oil and prayed for healing.  It was quite moving for both of us.  It meant alot to us to have you there.  We are blessed beyond the wildest imagination.

Pray for a good weekend.  Pray that we are able to look at bringing him home in the near future.  Pray that the pain stays under control.  And as always - pray for that miracle......

I leave you with this thought that I received in an email today:  "God never told us the way would be easy.  He just tells us it will be worth it".  Amen
