Enjoying the Great Weather Today!

Mom & Dad were able to get out today and enjoy the beautiful weather while Pam cut their hair. Tommy got them out a little on Friday as well. It's so nice to be able to take them out for a bit of fresh air. They are both doing well. . . mom has been having a little bit of back troubles. She actually has a scheduled doctors appointment Tuesday with Doctor Jones to see what her follow up lab results are. After her last tests came back normal - the doctor wanted to repeat the test again this month. So we will be able to let him know about her back pain to just have him check and make sure there is nothing other than just routine soreness. Must be the beautiful spring weather that is bringing out lots of visitors this week to see dad and mom - they have really enjoyed all of the visits from friends and family this week! I will post again next week after mom's doctors appointment. Stop in and see them if you get the chance!
And yes. . . we still remain confident that our father's future is going to be full and great and that God still can perform modern day miracles! Believe with us!

Celebrating Easter with Family

Wishing you all a very blessed Easter Sunday! Dad had a big day. . . first he and mom went to one of the Easter Services at The Living Room and enjoyed that very much! Three of their grandchildren were a part of the services - 2 were in the choir (Michelle & Rachel) and one portrayed Jesus (Matt) in an illustrative song (human video) so it made the service even more special! Afterward we headed up to my sister Pam's for the Kisner family dinner - full of great food and family fun. The kids had an easter egg hunt and then the older grandkids serenaded mom & dad with some great music. . . Daniel & Matt on guitar and voices by Matt, Daniel and Rachel and a few of us who chimed in on the chorus. Hope everyone had a great weekend. . . hope you can see how wonderful mom & dad are by this picture of them - I think mom looks especially beautiful...her dedication to working out at the Wellness Center 3 to 4 times per week is really showing-her face just looked so full of color and health!

Dad was so happy to see his sister Wanda on Friday and Saturday - she was in town visiting before she heads to Tennessee to reside with her son and his family there. Dad was a little sad after she left - he's afraid he won't see her again - which we assured him he will that she will be back to see him - but at their age, he worries about both of them too much.

Mom is scheduled for a blood test again tomorrow... she will then see her hematologist at the end of the month to discuss if the results have remained the same and if her lymphocitosis has improved or not. Dad has a blood draw Thursday.

We'll keep you all posted! Remember if you can - please stop in to see mom & dad or give them a call some time - they love company!

Springing into Easter

Hey everyone - sorry it's been a while since the last post - not a whole lot going on. We are just hanging out and doing life! Dad and mom enjoyed church yesterday and the weather was really nice when they were out. We took dad for a blood draw Thursday and it was really pretty that day too. His coumadin levels are a little high so we are backing him off of his medicine a little - which is always a good thing because the less he has to take, the better!

Dad is looking forward to seeing his sister Wanda this weekend - she is coming for a visit before moving to Tennessee. We have a fun Easter Weekend planned - church and dinner at my sisters house. We'll take some pictures and post them!

Love to all!
