Karla's Health Update 12/27/2008

Good Evening,

Adjusting to new places and schedules is never easy. Mom is doing her best to adjust well. The new facility is a bit busier and quiet times are less frequent. She commented that the food tasted better than in the hospital and ate a little more than usual. She is trying her best to sit up with assistance. She is so happy to have family and friends visit that it often brings her to tears. She appears to be more alert but the strength to carry long conversations drains her. She is so thankful for the assistance given to her. Please continue to pray for increased appetite and desire to eat. Pray that strength and added mobility would return and be of encouragement to Mom to further work through this difficult time. She is a real trooper and feels more at rest when family or friends are near and sleeps better during these times.

She appreciates your continued thoughts and prayers as well as our entire family.

Our dear friends,
We are so grateful for your keeping us informed about your mom's progress. We read each blog prayerfully fully understanding the situation you find yourselves in. We pray God's peace and comfort during the long hours. We are not at all surprised about your mom's wonderful sense of care for those around her during this time. She's always been such an awesome lady....greatly admired by many. Please know we care!

Psalm 29:11
"The Lord gives strength to his people; the lord blesses his people with peace"

You are loved,
