And now may the Lord bless you and keep you.

May the Lord make His face to shine upon you and be gracious unto you.

And may God grant unto you His peace-in your going out and in your coming in,

In your lying down and in your rising up,

In your labor and in your leisure,

In your laughter and in your tears,

Until you come to stand before Jesus

In that day in which there is no sunset and no dawning.

Amen

DH has decided

After the nerve block DH talked to our family doctor. They agreed that a permanent action be taken to make this never no longer function. DH went to bed immediately after his appointment. Depression. It was expected.

We wait until an appointment is set up with the thorastic surgeon and then a date for the surgery.

Please continue to pray for all those who need your prayers.

DH short term memory

After all the things my DH has suffered, now the stomach pain that caused him to loose so much weight because he could not tolerate the stretching of his stomach has caused another symptom. He is having short term memory problems.

I expected muscle loss with the great loss of weight. I never really looked at all the possibilities. Now he has memory problems just like individuals with dementia.

We are on a Ferris wheel and there seems to be no getting off.

Please continue to pray for all families and caregivers of dementia patients. They need every prayer that you can send.
