Adam:

10 am to Noon
This morning Grandma, Grandpa and I did devotions with Mom, we all took turns reading Gods word to her. She was so peaceful, and had this perpetual smile of peace on her face. We sang Mom a hymn together too, "Great Is Thy Faithfulness" that made her so happy. A little after devotions we were just talking to her, and I reminded her how she had told me a few times that someday we might have to take care of her like she had taken care of us kids, she laughed for the first time audibly! Her chest was just heaving with laughter! It was good to see that! John Mink also came and read to her from the bible, mostly Psalms. He is a really good reader, I enjoyed listening, and I know mom did too.

1:20 pm to 1:55 pm
Mom had therapy and progress is continuing rapidly, today she stood up and was able to take a step! Her right side is still paralyzed, but she swung her body to step. The therapist said she had a lot of inner strength.... Not news to us boys!
