So we are 9 months into this journey, some days it feels like 9 days and others it feels like 9 years. We are certainly learning new systems, roles and responsibilities, for all 4 of us. Sandra can be self sufficient but it is extremely difficult to watch her struggle for 40 minutes to do something when the girls or I can assist (or do it) in 5 minutes. The girls are so good at helping out from making a meal to helping Sandra get ready for bed if I'm out. It was explained to me that our energy is a currency we only have so much to spend. Unfortunately Sandra spends allot of her currency just doing the daily things we don't even think about.
So Sandra has had her van for almost a week, she is getting use to it, it still takes allot of effort getting in and out but she is very excited to be able to do it all on her own. It felt like old times when I got home from work last night. No one was home, it was allot easier to keep track of her when she didn't have that freedom.

I am still "boxed in" after moving into my new home, trying to sort everything out, but I want to take the time to enter your world...I am so happy you had a good time in Florida and now are getting around in your own van. You inspire all of us to give thanks in all things...Much love and continued prayers, Irene and Charles

Will continue to pray for strength in this journey and for God to bring healing to her muscles. He will perfect and work in all those things we are praying about. The Lord is our sustainer and our help when we most need it. cbonhomme
