My True Love Gave to Me....

Thanks to a good night's rest Mom had a much better day today. The family was all together for a few hours this afternoon for the changing of the guard. Jenyl brought Dad down to see Mom. They have both been missing each other and enjoyed their visit. Jenyl is back in Baltimore and Alison arrived to take over caring for Dad. The flowers behind Mom & Dad are from Dad "to his Marily". The roses are from Ralph & Betty Enokian - Thanks so much they really brighten up the room. Mom was out of bed up to a chair and even had a nice stroll with Dad around the halls. The bilirubin levels continue to decrease. Please continue to pray for Mom's spirits that she will not get discouraged even as she continues to make improvements. Also continue to keep in prayer that the pain will be controlled and that she will tolerate the feedings they have started today.

It is so encouraging to see God answer prayer every day. We will continue to pray for stamina and the mental energy to deal with the recovery process. Have a wonderful celebration of Christ's birth!
Our love,
Regis and Cathy
