Thanks to some lovely friends, I was picked up from the airport, taken to work, and then driven home at the end of the day (Thanks Lynn and Deborah!) I came home to a clean house and a stocked refrigerator...not to mention beautiful flowers (Thanks Wes, Stacie, Letty, the Griffins, the Millers, the Zapatas, the Heyens, and the Wilsons). God has blessed me over and over again. Thank you so much, sweet friends!

Mom and Dad are taking excellent care of Chuck. Rumor has it that he is eating real food! His beloved nose-tube-feedings are no more. Also, he has received some communication boards from Nicole. He is better able to "talk" to Mom, Dad, and the nurses. (Thanks, Nicole!! XXOO). He is steadily improving! One more hurdle tomorrow. Please pray concerning his surgery tomorrow. It is at 11:00.
