Word from the hospital about Christina last night was that she is improving at least a little bit. She breathes better when she lies down on her stomach, so they are working on maintaining that capacity when she rolls over and when she sits up. I know. Lie down. Roll over. Sit up. It sounds a little like puppy training, but we are ecstatic that there is progress. They are continuing the appropriate drug treatment plan, and they are fighting against that pneumonia specifically.
I
had an early meeting at church, so Chris had to do her walking alone. Apparently several of the neighbors were out
enjoying the morning. A few of them even
asked about me. Hey, it feels good to be
missed.
We
started a new puzzle. This one is a scene
from Washington, D.C. Not an actual
scene, though. It’s one of those
cartoony kinds of pictures with all the key sights represented and crammed into
one big square. Washington Monument,
Lincoln Memorial, Smithsonian. All the
heavyweights are in there. It’s a fun
one. Chris gave it to me for my
birthday. Shows how far behind we are
with our puzzling …
Speaking
of puzzling, I think I just figured out why my back has been bothering me
lately. Leaning over the table searching
for that next elusive piece is not that great for a back that isn’t all that
strong as it is. I’ll have to watch that
as I attack it some more later on.
Well,
we’re supposed to have water aerobics this morning at seven. It’s 6:15 now. I haven’t heard Chris rustling about
yet. Guess I better go check on her and
see if she’s ready to brave the icy depths …
James
5:16 says, “Therefore confess your sins to each other so that you may be
healed. The prayer of a righteous person
is powerful and effective.”
Father,
we continue to lift up Christina to you.
Thank you for the calls and expressions of concern and assurances of
prayer we have been getting on her behalf.
Amen.
