Thank goodness for cookies

So many wonderful friends have come by and brought wonderful goodies for Marvin and us to share. This has been such a busy few weeks and my christmas cooking is nonexsistant. Thanks to you the kitchen is still a great place to find christmas goodies to perk up Marvin's appetite. He is outside now enjoying the last rays of sun in his Santa hat, red shirt and green pants! We have had only 2 bouts of nausea this week and both were short! Can't weight him but we feel he is gaining and so many say he looks better each day.
We won't have therapist come to the house anymore as our insurance is finished so we welcome anyone who wants to come over and help him exercise his arms or legs. Still no home health care from the VA. Ah, the wheels of the gov. grind slowly. But we do still have the equipment. We might try wheelchair races as we have 3 different types of chairs in his room. While I was on crutches at the VA I would hitch a ride with Marvin by latching on to the back of his chair with a crutch and let him pull me down the hall in his other wheelchair. We were the hightlite of the ward!
Your prayers are so appreciated right now in this season. We are dealing with memories of what used to be and trying to be positive about what is. It is hardest for Marvin and I ask that you pray that he will understand how God can use this to make a life even better than what was before.
The Blessings of Christ's Birthday to you
