One Day At a Time

Last night dad didn't sleep so well.  But so far he has had a pretty good day today.  He really enjoyed visiting with his "boss" Mark Rogers this morning.  Mark (who ironically used to work for dad as a teenage boy at dad's service station "Shug's Sunoco") stopped by this morning after breakfast to spend a little time with dad and they cut up with each other and laughed.  I really enjoyed seeing dad this way.  They have a very special friendship and its nice to see they can still continue it.  We also got to watch our church's Christmas Experience production on dvd and dad and mom both really enjoyed that too.  Dad liked seeing so many of his friends and the children that he has so affectionately "high fived" at the front door.  Then my cousin Shannon Mong came by to spend time with dad while I went to my son Brady's basketball game.  Shannon was so good with him - she did therapy with him and helped mom put him from his recliner into bed.  We are so blessed that she is able to help us one night a week staying with us - especially with my brother Tommy now in China.  He arrived there yesterday safely - but is already ready to return.  We love ya Tommy and miss ya (this blog will be his way of keeping tabs with dad and us daily).

I think overall dad is progressing - it's little baby steps each day, but yes, God is working in him and getting him stronger and even though it is not on the timeframe we would like - we will not give up until dad is better.  God is with us every day and we just have to be reminded to take things "one day at a time."  

Keep us in your prayers- PRAYER CHANGES EVERYTHING!
