Five weeks ago today dad and I were in the automobile accident from which we are still recovering. As each day passes, and we become more aware of what happened, and what could have happened, we feel very blessed to be alive. Maybe being on a mission is what saved our lives.
Anyway, we are recovering slowly but surely. The dr. wants dad to use the cane for another 6 weeks. He is very obedient, which I appreciate, and we are hopeful that no further action will be necessary with his knee. His wrists are healing - he feels the left one from time to time. My ribs must be healing because I can now lie flat in bed and turn onto my right side. I can also raise my left arm a little higher and it doesn't hurt so much when I do my hair. My knee showed no visible signs of healing last Tuesday when it was x-rayed, but the dr. wants me to wear the brace for two more weeks and then have another x-ray. He thinks next time there will be signs on the x-ray that healing is taking place. One of my toes bothers me a little, but for the most part I think they are fine now.
We love you and appreciate your prayers in our behalf, and Stefanie, Leslee, and Shelley who gave us 24 hour care the first week or so after the accident. We hope you all have a wonderful Easter. We wish we could be with all of you!

So glad to hear that you are both progressing. I am very happy that Carleton is such a good patient. My father is NOT.
I hope your knee does start to heal and cooperate. My knee has been acting up but I am pretty sure its due to a shoe change...its back to the old, tried and true.
See you Saturday and Sunday, what a treat!!
Thanks for this post mom. I miss you guys. Nathan had carrots today for the first time. All the foods are going well except green beans; they gave him gas. We will try those again in a month or so.
We have a bi-ward Easter party in the morning for the kids. I filled 400 eggs with candy and get the pleasure of hiding them in the field...hopefully there will not be any rain. Mialee is very excited for that.
I boiled 2 dozen eggs today. I am in charge of deviled eggs for Sundays dinner at Nancy's.
Oh how I miss the easter egg hunts! When Lewis worked for Alpo, they used to have HUGE hunts with incredible prizes. We loved them. We used to do the "easter bunny" and candy stuff on Saturday and Sunday was resurrection day when we celebrated Christ's atonement. That way they knew what Easter really stood for.
I guess I will have to wait for my grandmaing days to enjoy little ones hunting for eggs again. Sigh.
No, I'm not in ANY hurry to be a grandma.
So happy for you Rebecca, soak it all up, they grow up soooo fast.
