Update on us

Pat got a call from his aunt and was sad to hear that his Grandmother has suffered a heart attack and a clot in her neck on it's way to her brain.  Thankfully they caught it in time.  She has been in the hospital for the last few days for monitoring but seems to be doing better now.  Please keep her in your prayers.

Also, Pat had an appointment with a specialist who works specifically with spasticity due to traumatic brain injuries.  We were afraid that he would tell us that what we have been doing was all wrong, but were pleasantly surprised to find out that he wants to just increase his medication and get him into "real" physical therapy and pool therapy.  I am glad to have a break, because it gets tiring trying to play the dual roles sometimes, but I don't really expect that they will try anything too different than what we have been doing.  Only time will tell.

In other news, Daniel has submitted his papers and we are all anxiously awaiting his mission call.  Everyone has their own idea of where he will go, but he really thinks he will be called to China.  There seems to be a family trend with getting called to places with C in the name.  Chile, Columbia, Colorado, California, etc.  Maybe he will go to Canada (laugh, laugh).  Or Connecticut or the Congo...

But we saved the very best for last!  We got an offer on our house and the closing is scheduled for February 1st.  We have all of our fingers and toes and anything else we can think of crossed that it will go smoothly and we will be able to move out soon. 

Seems like when it rains it pours around here.  :)

So sorry to hear about Pat's grandma. I'm glad to hear that she is improving.

And congrats on the closing. I'll pray that everything goes smoothly. What wonderful news!
