Bitter Sweet

The boys and I hung out with mom and dad today and it was a great day - dad was feeling great - we went to three different stores and he didn't like any of the grills, then Brayden wanted to eat lunch with Grandma and Grandpa so we picked up Frischs (Brayden's choice) and went back to their house and had a picnic. Dad felt great the whole day - he even began cutting the grass while we were still there. Mind you him and his neighbor ride on a riding mower - they seem to take turns but dad was out there. I know within the last two days he has lowered his pain medicine which is great news to hear - so the nerve killing procedure must of worked. We will see how he is tomorrow after doing so much today.

It is sad and hard to be happy that dad had such a great day when Uncle Wally isn't doing well at all. They said he is likely to fall into a coma soon and it just breaks my heart that this happening all so fast. I pray that everyone will be able to get to see him one more time if this is the end - BUT I continue to pray for miracles that it isn't - that he will bounce right back. I know it's hard for them not being down there with them, but I know they are all making their trips again. Tonya said the plan was not to leave her mom alone anymore - Aunt Bernie is a saint for doing this all by herself but she needs support.

Dad is still wanting to go down - I just worry as I know my sisters are that this might mess dad up mentally in seeing Uncle Wally - I know he will have the support of his brothers but I still worry.... BUT he wants to go down and I don't want him to have any regrets of not going. I pray that Uncle Wally is able to be present while they are there.

Congratulations to Ryan and Emily on their wedding day tomorrow - (Theresa's oldest son) - what a beautiful day you will have!

Continue to pray for Uncle Wally especially and his family - in that they find some type of comfort in this time.

Much love to all,
