UP ANOTHER LEVEL







Look at this lady now ... climbing all fourteen steps up to our Bonus Room and back down again ... without any assistance! That is a 'NEW' FIRST for her.

She is gaining strength in her affected right side and is able to do some things she was totally incapable of doing not so long ago.

We are so grateful for the progress she is making (even though she doesn't seem to be able to recognize the great "strides" she is taking. Progress is way too slow for her to appreciate. But the fact that she is so persistent and competitive works in her favor.

She even takes time out each day to try to beat her husband in the game of Euchre. She whipped him 10-4 tonight after dinner.
We appreciate so much the work her Physical Therapist (PIA pictured above) has done with her. Another 1 1/2 months and the Home Care Therapy will be completed. We will miss Pia very much.

Yesterday was such a delightful opportunity for me to see first-hand what you write about and depict in the blog, Nelson. It was really wonderful to see and break bread (or in this case, pizza) with the Chamberlins, including Audi as well.

And to see LaDonna getting about the way she does was really uplifting to me. I was so glad to be able to impart my hugs up close and personal this time rather than having to just tell you, Nelson, to give your bride a hug for me.

And Audi, I was thrilled to see the album you brought, representing your new venture with Lori. I pray that it will be sucessful because the quality of those fotos was really incredible. Sorry that Lori couldn't make it yesterday; but perhaps next time (I always like to put a carrot out there in front of my path).

Blessings to all of you ... Bill
