Unexpected glitch

We never know what a day may bring.  Last night as I was printing the study sheets for the Bible class, the printer stopped.  It had already printed on one side and the other side will have to be printed. But you know printer companies have their machines "fixed" so they sometimes will only accept an official ink cartridge from the makers of the machine.  I have never had that problem but late last night it happened so here I am this morning trying to get the problem solved.  With 3 printers I KNOW it will get done.  Margie had a good night for which we are thankful.  Thanks dear friends for your prayers.

AWANA

Yesterday morning Margie did her physical therapy session in Lynden and the rest of the day we worked on pages from our Brazil book, preparing them for editing by a good friend of ours. I will send some today to him.  Our time at AWANA was fun and I enjoyed doing one of my paper cutting Bible illustrations for the boys and girls on the "Nicknames of Jesus".  Margie had a good night and we are thankful.  And we are thankful for your prayer support.

Physical therapy

Margie goes for more therapy today.  She is doing very well and wants to continue.  She has been rewarded for faithfulness in therapy at home and with the professionals.  It does pay.  She slept well last night also which is a plus.  I speak at AWANA tonight and appreciate your prayer for that.  Thanks always for your prayer support to us.  We appreciate you.

Not on the list

I failed to list the important item I wanted to get in town while on our short trip to shop yesterday.  I only remembered it when we turned onto Main St. in Ferndale.  Oh well, I guess I will just blame it on age. Margie had a pretty good night.  The wind blew fiercely during the night and we are told it is part of the system that is soaking California.  We never will forget some of those storms when we traveled for Shepherds, living in a 5th wheel trailer.  I appreciate prayer for my talk in the AWANA program tomorrow night at our church.  Thanks so much for praying.

Puzzled

We are puzzled about the C-PAP machine.  Margie started out with it last night but it just didn't work for her.  We will be contacting the therapist to determine what she can do to improve the situation.  We had a nice time at church in Sunday School and the morning service then lunch with friends after that.  Thanks for your prayers.

Suspension

For some reason the C-PAP machine didn't work for Margie so she suspended it early in the night.  We know that the first month or more is an adjustment time.  It may be she is unable to use it. At this point we just don't know.  She made it through the night fairly well anyway for which we are glad.  This morning we will be going to Sunday School and the church service.  We look forward to this very much. Thanks again for praying.

Initiation

Margie started using the C-PAP machine last night.  She did very well the first part of the night and got a very good sleep.  The therapist warned her that it can take several days or more to get accustomed to this new "invasion" device.  But all in all she did pretty well. I reminded her of an adjustment she could have done to help her but she forgot about it during the night.  Otherwise I think she would have slept all night.  Thanks so much for praying as she gets used to this new method of trying to sleep.  We appreciate it very much.  Added note:  Our son's birthday is today and we already spoke with them.  They are coming up to Ferndale for a quick trip today.
