Calendar events

The world has spoken much of this date. Not only the Mayan connection, but also the start of winter.  We are pleased that the Lord is in charge of these things and nothing happens without His direction.  This is our comfort and hope.  I had my check up yesterday and the doctor found the blood work and everything else in good order.   The Lord is to be thanked for this. I have been blessed with good health. I feel the Lord did this so I could adequately care for Margie. Margie had, as far as I can tell, a good night last night. By degrees she is getting accustomed to using the C-PAP machine. Thank you so much for your prayers.

Keep trying

Margie did not do as well last night as other nights with the C-PAP machine.  But she finally got to sleep and had a pretty good night.
Two main things today:  Church prayer meeting in the afternoon and I have a medical check-up this morning.  It's about time I saw the doctor.  I haven't been all year.  There was no need to do so I did not go.  Thanks friends for praying. 

Thankful

Hopefully Margie is acclimating well to the C-PAP machine. Before she was almost sure she would never adapt to it. Last night she had a great night.  It is so much better when one gets a good sleep.  Today she will be in physical therapy and also see her doctor.  I have been plagued with a spell of vertigo the last two days. I see the doctor tomorrow for a yearly physical exam.  Thanks for praying. 

Good one

We rejoice in another good night using the C-PAP.  Yesterday was a big day for Margie. She was determined to do her yearly scheduled baking.  She made Tea Rings for us and the neighbors, and sticky buns for our Christmas Eve brunch with the family.  I only helped when she needed me.  She did wonderfully well and it was satisfying for her to accomplish this after being ill for so long.  I know she did a lot of praying for physical strength for the process. Our grandson is staying here while working on one of their homes here in Ferndale.  Thanks again for your faithful prayer support.

Partial success

Margie was told by the sleep specialist to keep trying the C-PAP machine.  Last night she did.  With the help of some more sleep medication, she made it through the night pretty well.  She will talk to her physician about the added sleep aid medication and if she advises her  to follow that route.  But we are thankful for a fairly good night.  Thanks so much for praying.

Return to Anchorage

May brother who was here a few days on business, left yesterday for his home Anchorage.  We certainly enjoyed the few times we were able to be with him.  The last time we had seen him was on our trip for Shepherds in Alaska, several years ago.  We don't get to see our siblings often. My other brother is in Singapore and has been for much over a half century. Lord willing we will be heading to church this morning.  I am privileged to teach an adult Sunday school class.  Margie did not have good night and we are always sorry when she doesn't. Thank you always for your faithfulness in prayer. 

It's here

We are pleased Margie's medication arrived yesterday in the mail from the pharmacy.  She will start it Monday and we pray it will help her in several areas of her needs.  My brother treated us ( Margie and I and our son and grandson) to a meal last night in Bellingham.  He returns to Anchorage this afternoon.  High winds are forecast for today so I better get the generator out and in ready mode just in case.  Thanks, dear friends for your faithful prayers.
