Marvin is home

It has been a week of work and joy. A week home and he is doing well. Trey and Mandy have been a wonderful help. Marvin has been outside in the beautiful weather enjoying the view of the new bridge. It looks wonderful at night with the lights. He has had visits from Marka to help with movement and breathing therapy and Gail with great massage on back and feet. Christian came by with the wonderful message of "yes you can" and told us of his hard work to learn to walk again and use his arms. He is a walking miracle as is Marka. Roper home care came by and gave us a good grade on our care of Marvin. There is much he must do to keep up with his therapy from the VA and progress enought to get a new handle on his power chair to drive totally with his hands. Many friends have dropped by and the wonderful food has been such a blessing. He hasn't been ready to go out by van yet and ours isn't handicap ready but we hope to order one soon. Drop by and help us hang lights around the yard. Christmas has come too fast for us.
Our love to you,
Cathie & Marvin

Dear Cathie and Marvin, Great to hear that all is going so well and you are able to get out of the house. I.ve tried to call several times but the telephone is always busy. Thanks to this alternative method of communication. Tell Trey to post one or more of the pictures he took the night we brought you home and up the wonderful ramp the Church Team built. Bill Moore

It was so good to see you at church yesterday. We are looking forward to the time when Marvin can come with you. Next Sunday is the special music from the Chancel Choir, with organ, harp, and hand bells. It would be wonderful if you both could be there for that service; I'm sure you would both enjoy it. On the 18th, the handbells are scheduled to play several pieces, and also at the
eleven o'clock service Christmas Eve.
Hope to see you then.

Marvin and Cathie,
It is wonderful to know that you are all together again, I'm sure it is a very precious feeling. You remain in our prayers, to regain strength and make progress.
