Monday September 20

It has been a couple of months.

Dad has been doing great!
Dad says he is getting weaker and may be but he is getting up and down from his chair with much more ease and vigor than a year ago. He does get tired toward the end of the day. They have enjoyed many visits from a variety of friends from different decades in the last 2 months as well as talking to many of you via phone.

Today, the caregiver and Mom were taking Dad to an oncologist appointment and Mom tripped over a slight rise in the sidewalk and landed very hard on her left side. She banged up her elbow, chin, cheek, and eye. They were able to xray her in the office and the initial read by the doctor indicated that no bones were broken. He sent them home and told them he would have the radiologist review the pictures and contact them if he found anything. Nancy came and escorted them home. I left for a doctors appointment and got a text from Nancy saying that they were on the way to the orthopedic clinic. Mom did have a fracture in her elbow. They put her in a cast and told her they needed to see her on Wednesday. I am also worried about her wrist. It was swollen and they did not take pictures of it in particular. I will update when we know more.

I ask for your prayers for them again tonight.

God is good!
