A few updates

 I thought I'd start the week with some updates to things I shared with you last week.

Thank you for your sweet notes of encouragement, and also your prayers.  My blog friends are truly a blessing!

My friend Becky's funeral was Saturday.  It was a wonderful time of sharing memories of her, but most of all, sharing her love of the Lord and how she wanted all her loved ones to share that joy!

I am doing much better as far as pain from the rheumatoid arthritis.  The prednisone is helping.  I'm now tapering down on it and am feeling some of it come back, but it's so much more tolerable than it was; walking and work is easier.  I go to the specialist on the 30th, so am looking forward to his recommendations.

My dad is still sick.  He was tested for Covid on Wed, but they are telling us it can take up to 7 days to get results back.  I've been checking on him daily by phone, so I knew he was doing ok, but on Saturday I masked and gowned up and checked on him in person.  I picked up a little machine that checks O2 sats and made sure his lungs were clear.  He's still achy, still has recurrent fevers, but his lungs are ok.  So I guess we just take it a day at a time. Thanks for your prayers for him, and Ann too.  So far she is doing ok.

In other news - the crib is taking shape!  Bob and Andrew keep plugging away at it.  Heather is doing well, right now it seems she is at the Dr all the time.  Because she is high risk with type one diabetes, she has ultrasounds every other week and they say baby is growing well and has lots of hair!  There is a possibility that she will be induced before the end of the year, so the crib is high priority!
