Happy Thanksgiving!

Happy Thanksgiving!

After a long day yesterday Laurie was able to get a good night’s sleep last night. The only time she woke up was when I had to give medication to her at 3:00. We both slept until 8:00 after that indicating we were both pretty tired. I fixed her breakfast and we watched the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade together. Around 1:00 we went over to Carlene’s, Laurie’s sister, for our family Thanksgiving celebration. We had only planned to stay a few minutes but ended up staying about an hour and a half. Laurie was excited that she felt well enough to go and see her family for Thanksgiving. We came home and Laurie took a three hour nap which was good. I watched the Dallas Cowboys game until half time and then we went next door to our neighbors for our second Thanksgiving celebration. We really enjoyed getting to share with Martha and Brian and their family. Once the Cowboys had won the game we came back home and spent the rest of the evening relaxing. Laurie may have over done it a bit today but felt it was important to share time with family and friends. We have to thank Laurie’s parents for keeping Brooke and Ridge and Laurie’s sister’s family for keeping Forrest last night. They will be sleeping over again tonight too!

Laurie is gaining strength each day. We continually realize just how much we have to be thankful for. We're truly thankful for Jesus Christ, The Great Physician, and our friends and family who sustains us during this time of healing.
