We received a couple of major shocks in the last two days. Yesterday (Friday) we were informed that our church (Azure Hills Church) was going to use money from their member assistance fund to help us replace the very worn carpet in our house with hard flooring that will be easier to keep clean when Derek comes home. What a gift! Thank you! Thank you! We have received such support from so many church friends, and it continually amazes us how generous everyone is with us! Every day, people (some of whom we have never met before) bring food for lunch and dinner. We so much appreciate the love shown in these practical ways. Thank you! We love you all!

This afternoon (Sabbath), we received the shock of our lives when the doctor came in to do rounds. After examining Derek, he said they were looking at sending him home on Monday. MONDAY! Vince and I looked at him in disbelief. After the doctor left, we expressed our concern to the nurse about the flooring that is going to be replaced. She agreed that he should not be home during that time and said she would talk to the doctor. We feel so unprepared in other ways as well. While we are pleased to know they feel is making such good progress, he has not hit the low point in his immunity yet. All of this is so new, it’s hard to wrap our minds around exactly what he will need when he comes home.
