A Busy Weekend ...

We had a busy weekend considering all that has happened lately... John was feeling well enough between naps and meds to go to a few cook-outs. We were able to stay an hour or two at some on Saturday, had fun at the swimming party...although John wasn't able to swim, and I didn't bring my suit, I still went in with others who decided the water was just too tempting... so we swam in our clothes...(several of us).. it was a fun relaxing time, to forget for awhile, the things going on lately. But we were home early, and both of us took naps, and slept pretty good that night.

Today, John was feeling well enough to get to church, but because he moves very slow, we didn't gage the time well, and we ended up 20 minutes late... at least we got there..*L* But it tired him out so he slept for over 3 hours after lunch.

There was a "Welcome Home" cook-out for our nephew Aaron, home from Iraq (for good) that was this afternoon, so after the nap we headed to the party at my mom and dad's home. John had a long walk to see some things my dad had constructed on the far end of the property..."The NorthWest Look Out".. so that tired him out, but at least he was able to walk pretty far.

I am thinking we will both be sleeping pretty well tonite... after a busy weekend.

Here's a picture of the patient with his walker... we continue to thank everyone for their well wishes and prayers... We appreciate them ALL!!

Please keep up the prayers...tomorrow we return to the hospital in Milwaukee to get the staples out of John's back, and hopefully find out the results of the CAT scan he had on his left hip and spine on Friday. He is having some difficulty moving his left leg and he said today that it is more painful than his back is right now.

Thank you everyone,

Love,

Roberta & John and family.
