Blessings

The doctor says my lower fever and decreased swelling and pain are all good signs that we are getting the upper hand on the infection. Although not doing as well overall as the doctor hoped, with my persuasive promise of continuing to rest, take my meds, and particularly staying hydrated, I am back in the comfortable confines of my home. Yay! There is no place like your own bed -- especially my new amazing Sleep Number bed!!! I will see the doctor again the first of next week to check on my progress. Thank you for all the words of encouragement and prayers on my behalf. They have truly made a difference in this challenging, and yes, frustrating turn of events. I am so thankful that my peace and joy are not dependent on circumstances. It is a truly comforting thing to see how even in suffering God is hourly,

daily transforming me as I lean deeper into him and learn to appreciate His grace more fully.

"From the fullness of His grace, we have all received one blessing after another." John 1:16

Thank you for checking in on us. Steve and I are so blessed to have such wonderful people who care for us in our lives!

So glad to hear you are improving and won't have to stay in the hospital. If you have a Sleep Number Bed you definitely won't be very comfortable in a hospital bed!!! Thinking of you and praying for better days for you in the very near future. Thank you for updating! Keep the Faith!! Hugs from Paducah, Kentucky, Lee

Glad you are able to be home recovering. But I need to correct you on one thing...your friendship is the blessing. It is and has always been an honor and a blessing to call you friend. Love from Knoxville, Susan Jenkinson
