I finally got my computer back so we’re back on the blog. No earthshaking changes with Mom. Hospice care has worked a lot on medication and pain control, and for the most part the pain control is much better, though she has recently has had a very sore and aching neck. Here legs are now extremely week and she continues to lose control of them as the continued growth of paralysis takes place. She needs a good deal of assisstance to get out of bed and walk the little bit that she can. For the most part she is in bed full time. Speech continues to weaken as well and is just barely there.

I continue to keep your family in my prayers. Is there any way that I can help?

Again, my prayers are with you at this time. Please remember me to Annette, and give her my best.

Know: Annette and Al are in our prayers and so are all of you (their family members). God is with all of you, holding your hand, crying, laughing and bringing peace and strength as needed.
) We’re so full we’re busting at the seams! Did she ever have 320 students in one year? It’s amazing! The last of Annette’s original crew are retiring this year or next – although Chrissy says (while laughing) she’ll be there until the building falls. Just let me know if she wants current pictures or archived pictures to have fun with.
On the lighter side tell Annette she can come back to Oak anytime, I could definitely use the help!
