The tree is up, the decorating done except for some fresh pine "poufs" we will cut and bring in tomorrow. Cooking is partly done, will also be finished tomorrow, then on Sabbath evening Mark, Tina and Grant will arrive. Sunday Chaunda, Cherilyn and Todd will arrive and we will all be together for Christmas. Christmas day we will have our traditional brunch and be joined by Del, Chuck, Ken, Kathy and Dan. A lovely houseful!
Leland's infected finger is well again, after a week of poultices. First the charcoal, then colloidal silver (another natural antibiotic). Thanks for reminding me of this Jerry. We consulted with the clinic a couple of times, but never did need to take him in. The rest of his fingers are still tender and somewhat numb, and he may lose the nails, or they just may be discolored until they grow out. He is feeling pretty well, and doing quite a bit each day, taking care to protect his nails from snagging on things by wearing either gloves or a bandaid depending on what he is doing.
Yesterday we went to The Dalles and did some rather intense shopping with a couple of kids the church family sponsored for Christmas. We got the fun of taking them and helping them choose some new clothing. Kathy went along and took the girl, I took the boy, and Leland drove us around. A sucessful trip! Thank you Del for organizing the project. I am still surprised by every good day, and really appreciate each one.
We wish each of you a blessed and merry Christmas with family, friends and a renewed appreciation of the incredible gift we have been given. "For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given".....
Merry Christmas to you both. I'm in Sunnyside with my parents. My brother and I arrived about 10 days ago. My father has been unresponsive for about 6 days. I am staying at the assisted living facility as my mother us unable to care for Dad. Hospice is such a wonderful help to us.
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful Christmas with your family.
Merry Christmas to you and everyone there as well. We have so much to be thankful for this year. So glad that Leland is feeling good enough to be active for the season - truly a blessing. I will be here in Central Oregon with family and friends and will pray for you and think of you. Love to you both. Judy G.
