Friday Night

Greetings,

It is certainly good to hear and read about how many of you are keeping up with this blog, supporting Marty’s struggle, and praying for us. We do indeed appreciate each and everyone who is so strongly supporting us with love and prayer. What a blessing! Praise the Lord!

To bring you all up about Marty she has had another pretty good day. Her shoulder even with taking the pain medication about 3 times a day is still giving her a little trouble, but it is certainly not as bad and is useable. Praise the Lord! There are also a couple of sores starting in her mouth, but we have the medication on hand to handle that and get it under control in short order. Her shins are doing quiet well. I think the doctor on call last week-end, who did not really know Marty, and told her to “sit up in the chair,” made a very major mistake in a couple of ways. One of those ways is that she is not stopping, she has been on the go the last two days actually. I think she is not only trying to catch up on the things she wanted to do and could not do before she went into the hospital, but she is trying to get everything done RIGHT NOW! Praise the Lord that she is doing what she can do! Give a double Praise to the Lord, she just sat down in the chair and put the heating pad on her shoulder.

We will get a CBC done tomorrow and see how the numbers are doing. Tomorrow is the time that a month ago we had to go to Indy for platelets. But, we hope they will be okay tomorrow. Not going to “second guess” and we shall see.

Our family will be coming on the 28th. Jennifer, Travis and boys are down in TN with Travis’s parents for the week-end, while Eric and Erin are home in Defiance since they only have a few hours together Christmas Day and then will be together the last part of the week when they are here. So, at this point Marty is grateful for a little more time to get everything ready! As you are traveling and/or your family is arriving for a visit may the blessing of God’s gift at Christmas be a major focus of your time together and may you truly feel the presence of God with you. May it be a time of sharing the love, grace, mercy, and peace that God sent to us and gave to us free of any charge in Jesus Christ His Son and our Lord. What a blessing! Have a wonderful time with who ever it is that you spend it with.

Be positive, be blessed, and glorify the Lord.

Marty and Jack
John 3:16
