Just a quick note to tell you Frieden Aunts that you put on one heck of a great show.  Thanks so much.  That was amazing.  And thanks for letting us share in Jessica’s special day.

 Also, you might notice slight differences with the blog and the website.  Repeat the mantra: Change is good.  You can log in with your reglar password and go about it as you would before pretty much.  We’ll keep you posted on further change.

Doris’ pneumonia is improved and preparations are being made for her to go temporarily to a skilled nursing facility by week’s end.  She has some stroke damage involving her swallowing and her left leg.  Please pray that she will rehab quickly.

Virg had two more stents placed and will likely come home tonight.  In several weeks they want him back to clean a 60% blocked graft from 9 years ago and then place a stent in it.  With the 4 stents he should have greatly improved blood flow through his heart and feel much better.

Thanks to the prayer team and Thank You Lord!

Doris got out of Cardiac ICU at 5 Sunday and is in a double room now with a phone and can have flowers.  I took her 5 little albums to store all her wedding pictures and filled 2 of them already.  She has some flowers from the wedding and the girls and I will take up more today.  Her pneumonia is improved and she is getting more feeling back in her legs and feet and even trying to swallow.  We meet with the team today.  Neurology did an eval Sunday following the MRI.

 Virg hopes to get two more stents today.  Pray as the doctors work with skill to give him a better quality of life.  He may get to go home by Tuesday if he comes through the angioplasty in good shape.
