My Favorite Season

Did Jesus really live again? Yes when the third day came. He wakened and he left the tomb: He called Mary's Name. Did Jesus come to those he loved? Yes people touched his feet. And of the fish and honey comb. He did truly eat. And there were nail-prints in his hands. And a spear wound in his side. Did Jesus really live again. After he had died? OH YES, AND SO SHALL I! Words from Mabel Jones Gabbott- Luke 24:36-43 and 3 Nephi 11:10-14

Thankful Thursday: Support of co-workers

We have recieved so much support from everyone.
Today I am THANKFUL for the support Mr. Clark is getting from his CO-WORKERS.
Not a day has gone by when someone has not called etc.
Every one is so willing to help him in whatever way they can.
Today one of his co-workers (Larry) offered to drive him around.
This is what another co-worker - Eddie said after being with him today.
"Hey, My eyes and your 'know how' skills.
We make a good team."
How kind is that!
He went to the Refinery for the first time in 2 weeks for a few hours.
He said to me this morning. THIS MEANS SO MUCH TO ME.
I am THANKFUL because I know he is in good hands and he needs to feel he is not failing his team.
It is going to do his heart and soul a lot of good.
For this I am THANKFUL

For Lei

This is Elder Parente learning to make homemade pancake syrup! 1 Cup Brown Sugar, 1 Cup White Sugar and 1 Cup Water. 1 tsp Mapleine Flavoring
Elder Parente even learned how to make FRENCH TOAST! So he has ate it 2 day's in a row! This is Elder Parente after dinner (that's why the table is a mess). Everyone else had banana splits but Elder Parente thinks he is the 'favorite' and so he enjoyed a rootbeer float

Fianlly the results are in...

FLOWERS FROM MR. CLARKS COMPANY
Shew -- a few melt down day's. We have made a lot of decisions about the 'WHAT IF'S"
We have cried a lot too.
We put our trust in the Lord. With faith that what ever our new journey holds for us.
We would be ready to move ahead.
I could tell you the funny things that Mr. Clark experienced due to his eye sight!
One day we were walking down the hall and Mr. Clark stopped abruptly and gasped. I said, "what is wrong" He said, " The person walking towards us doesn't have a head"
The best one of all though was he thought he could see a spider. And he said, "can't you see it? It's blue, It's right--" I said," if you can see it grab it and kill it!" And he swooped up his hand a grabbed the imaginary spider and smashed it. And we laughed to tears!
Getting home even was a circus... after I lost the car in the parking garage at the hospital. Yes, I have a very Patient Honey! We arrived home, Ah the comfort of a real bed. and peaceful surroundings!
Then the responsibility to make sure Mr. Clark gets all 12 meds at the right time everyday was another challenge. We are talking about a women who looses her car in the parking lot. How the heck am I going to be a Nurse!~j/k
Two years ago I was trained to do in home I.V's and wound care so I know I am capable.
Oh and by the way... We have now graduated from a 14 day pill container to a Breakfast, lunch, Dinner and Bedtime container.
We are also accustom to being in the "GERIATRICS" zone. LOL!
Finally the results are in. We now know what's up with Mr. Clark's eyes. Macular Edema which rarely happens to both eyes at once.
His Kidney's are going to get a work over too. At 20 percent function now, we are optimistic that we can get them to improve also. Getting everything to work for Mr. Clark is going to take some serious work.
We feel so fortunate to have Good Doctors on our team.
and a Loving Heavenly Father
that Hears and Answers
Prayers.
