Dad's Roommate Archie, a very NICE guy!

Dressed the Door, Brought Santa, & Dec a Tree

Alot like Christmas

Its beginning to look a lot like Christmas...

It was wonderful spending the afternoon with Mom and Dad (and his roommate Archie who is a GREAT GREAT guy!). Mom wanted to make sure Dad’s room was decorated for the Holidays and I think we did a pretty good job. I will download the pictures soon but just thought I’d share the special day I had with some of my favorite people. It almost felt like old times but even more pleasant because there was no pressure. I think Mom and Dad’s house was sooo decorated for the Christmas Season that loading and unloading everything alone was a big deal. Then setting up the many Christmas trees with lights and decorations, etc etc would be pretty daunting. I sort-of like keeping it simple- this decorating took a couple of hours (and we started from scratch) and the warm/fuzzy feelings are there just the same. We have one more project and hopefully will finish that up this week.

Dad was in good spirits but it was clear that he wasn’t feeling well. The catheter he has to wear isn’t ideal and the problem related to it being required is definitely a concern. Nothing will be known for sure until after the first of the year but we’re praying it won’t be a long term issue.

Other than that he seemed tired and weak but he managed to smile through it all and remind me of the amazing inner strength he still possesses. Dad did say he wants to be out of the wheelchair. I’m not sure if his recovery will be to that extent or not but it is nice hearing his goals. I suppose God willing anything can happen.

Keep praying,
Kristy
