Thank you for your continued prayers. I’m grateful for the time I’ve had with mom and dad but it is very difficult seeing him shrinking away both physically and mentally. There are times he does pretty well and can even carry a bit of conversation but for the most part those days are gone.
He struggles with muscle function. That is as noticeable as anything and just as difficult to witness. The brain just is not communicating with his muscles in every aspect which makes dignity come into play on a regular basis. I’m grateful for this time I’ve been here but it is a must that I get home and continue my preparation for the 3 upcoming revival meetings I have in March, the first beginning on February 29th.
Mom seems to be holding up pretty well and her attitude (which has a “smidge” of denial in it) is helping her day in and day out! She wants to keep dad here at the house as long as possible knowing that he will do much better here than anywhere else.

Tomorrow we will drive home so we appreciate your prayers on all fronts!
Blessings,
John
