We're grateful . . .

The past 5 days have been encouraging, as Mark's appetite has improved; his physical therapy is making him more active; and we have gone out three times to eat with friends. We also enjoyed having Jeff, Sara and Tess here today for a barbecue. It may be one of the final picnics of the year. The weather was perfect.
To those of you who have written responses, mailed cards, called, visited or spoken to us, we say a big thank you! To the many who have prayed for us, again we say thanks! It's definitely helping!
