Falling down and getting up!.

On Tuesday morn as I attempted to get down the stairs to give Marvin his morning meds, I took a tumble. After a brief stay in the Roper Emg room and many x-rays I was allowed home with the help of Dean Kemper (acting pastor of Harbor View) and Bill Simpson (acting big brother and spiritual advisor). We had a series of calls that informed us that my insurance had not been paid by MArvin's old office but, hay, of late God has not made the road easy. At least it is a road.
As we find ways to work with the insurance and put back the tooth I knocked out, we met Cassandra Wright. She has been sent by the VA and Marvin says God to help us each day with feeding bathing and muscle movement. TODAY: Marka and Cassandra balanced Marvin while he placed both hands on his walker and STOOD! For 15 sec. he was there and upright looking into my face and the mirror! Talk about resurrection on a Maundy Thursday! Marka reminds me to keep the important things in front and let the house worries go. We need this moment to rejoice because the last two weeks have been such a torment. We covet your prayers and your visits and cards. Our church has been a life line. Your prayers and this moment of standing will give Marvin that much needed boost to keep on with his leg and arm work!
Happy Resurrection Sunday
Cathie and Marvin

CATHIE;
I DIDN'T GET THE CHANCE TO TALK TO YOU MUCH AT CHURCH SUNDAY. I WAS SO GLAD TO SEE YOU AND MARVIN! HE LOOKED VERY WELL, AND YOU --I WAS AMAZED TO SEE YOU WALKING, AFTER THE SPILL YOU TOOK.
WASN'T THE SERVICE WONDERFUL? THIS WAS THE LAST TIME THE BELLS WILL BE PLAYING WITH PAM AT THE HELM; WE WERE SO HAPPY THE PERFORMANCE WENT WELL FOR HER. SHE HAD BEEN A NERVOUS WRECK FOR WEEKS. HOW DID THEY SOUND TO YOU? DID MARVIN ENJOY IT? I HOPE SO. WE DO LOVE TO HEAR THAT OUR LISTENERS ENJOY THE MUSIC.
CALL ME IF THERE IS ANYTHING WE CAN DO TO HELP OUT.
