Our living room has been transformed into a "hospital room" complete with bed, walker, wheel chair, and crutches. We are preparing to bring Linda home--hopefully tomorrow--and begin her recovery. The first 4 weeks will be basically being in bed and getting to the bathroom and then back to bed. I'll be the primary care giver for the first couple of weeks and then we'll figure things out from there when I go back to work. Already I've been given my first lessons on getting Linda out of bed and also on giving her her twice daily shot to thin her blood.
Linda's pain continues but she is improving. She managed to sit up for about 10 minutes today and that was enough to say that staying in the hospital will not help her progress anymore than going home.
Chris continues to struggle. He saw Linda for the first time since the accident and that seemed to help a bit but you can read the concern and worry on his face.
Pray too for Gayle who is in British Columbia this weekend to be in a friend's wedding. She feels bad that she can't be here.
Again, our thanks to all of you. Your prayers and support mean so very much.

You folks are in our daily thoughts and prayers. I'm even praying for your naughty little dog. After our vacation, We(Judy & Abby) will be available to help in some way- cleaning, errands--or come sit with Linda or maybe come and play with the dog. Abby would like that. Just let us know.

We are praying for Linda and hope for a quick recovery and a patience to accept the recovery time. We also pray for a calmness for Chris to return.
