Susan's update, August 22, 2009

Better to plan for the worst and hope for the best, eh? Susan's recovery continues to go well despite my efforts to over tax her abilities. Last night I stayed in SF after a business meeting to attend the Lamplighters' production of My Fair Lady, with Susan's permission, of course. Lauren was out, too, so Susan and I anticipated a quiet evening for Susan. It was not to be. Because I had made a mistake in reconnecting our cordless phone the only working phone was in the bedroom. Susan was in the living room finishing up a movie. We rarely get phone calls in the evening but last night there were at least five. With each call Susan had to get up and go to the bedroom to answer it. The up side is that she was able to do so and do it with energy. The down side is that it wasn't what she anticipated!

Susan did well today, too. She has been eating well and getting up regularly and frequently. She has had flare ups of symptoms of her other conditions but they haven't been too bad.

Keep praying - we firmly believe that keeps both of us going.
