Walking on.

Wow!  We had a tremendous walk in Waterloo on Saturday.  Over 50 people joined our team to participate in the ALS walk.  $110 000 was raised that day in Waterloo.  Thank you to everyone who helped make this day so successful.  Jim also appreciated all the support he received and all the help that was offered in pushing the wheelchair over some quite bumpy places.  He was tired but quite satisfied.
Our world seems to be shrinking and I am learning to be okay with that.  His ability to get out and about are diminishing and he also appreciates it when I am around.  That means more at home time.  How thankful we are for a pleasant home and a wonderful community.  Visits really lift our spirits.
His weight continues to decline and his muscle strength deteriorates. He is still able to get around on his own and for this I am thankful too.
Trish, our American daughter, and her kids are up for the rest of the month.  How fun it is to have children around 24/7. She is very good at keeping them entertained, especially when Jim is trying to rest. We appreciate her giving up her time, her husband, and her home to spend time with us.
