Just a quick report as it’s gotten late.

I went to my church for the first time since I’ve been back, and I asked for prayer for my family, especially for my sister, Lauryn. I would ask the same of those of you who pray.

Elaine said he needed oxygen, so I got out an extra long hose hospice had given us and attached it to his oxygen machine in the dining room, and it was long enough to go all the way back to his bedroom. He got nice and comfortable there and took a little nap.
