Awake

Each day I'm feeling better, staying awake for longer stretches of time, and getting around more steadily. Yesterday I felt no pain all day, and overnight I needed pain meds only twice. We want to thank every one of you who has been praying so faithfully for us. I feel a need to focus prayers on Chuck today, because I don't think he's sleeping very well.

Lisa left just after midnight for her 8-hour train trip back home. She'll work the rest of the week, and then will fly to Michigan for the wedding. Karin is still here with us. It's been so wonderful to have them both here. They've kept the house tidy, meals fed, and have become good friends with the many great folks who have come to visit over the weekend.

Today our Hospice nurse is coming for another visit. What a fabulous care support network they provide. Our big prayer need for today is for God's wise guidance about going to the wedding. The wrong decision in either direction would have negative effects, and only God knows today how I'll be feeling next weekend. So we pray we'll clearly hear his voice, and humbly obey. Thanks so much for your help in prayer.

Love,
Carol
