BILL GETS VISIT FROM CAROL & GK'S

Eric and 3 GK's came to see Bill and stopped by Carol's unit and

and got Carol out of her walker and let her walk down two halls to Bill's room.  When they entered the room she burst out into the biggest smile we've seen lately.  She was actually bouncing with joy. Looking at the boys on each side, she actually seemed to recogonize them.

GK's are Sean and Nathan Eldridge and Alex Dennard. 

They then walked Carol back to her Unit with boys helping on the other side.  Longest walk Carol has had in sometime. 

BILL'S IN REHAB AT CHRISTIAN CARE CENTER

Bill had lumbar surgery on Dec 12 and was doing fine for about a month.  But then two blod clots developed, one in each lung and I had to go to the ER. Went from there to Rehab at CCC and still there.   But doing good.  No longer on oxcegyn and physical therepy is going good. Hope to go home this week. Good to be here so I can see Carol twice a day.

I have written before about the sincere expression of LOVE I have felt in this facility, especially in the Alzheimer's Special Care Unit.  It is the REAL THING.  Now I have found the same sincere LOVE present in the Therepy Group.  They work with some very handicapped individuals and are so sweet and loving.  It is a real Blessing from God.

Carol is doing great and seems to be happy most of the tine.  Smiles a lot and jabbers away.  She does not seem to be hurting in any way and I can't ask for anything more. 

Thank you for your prayers.      bill and carol

NEW YEAR UPDATE

First nice day of the new year and Eric,our  son took Carol outside for a walk. Carol walks very good but most of us don't give her the chance.  Eric always does and she really enjoys going outside. 

She is happy most of the time and that is all we can ask for.  She loves to receive attention and so many of the staff are cooperative.

Billl startedd off the new year recovering from back surgery.  Stilll taking therapy and back seems to be getting better.    I am resolved to live with artheritic pain in back, knees, shoulders, hands, etc.  Getting old ain't for sissy's
Happy New Year to all visitors.  We love you,   bill
