Good evening

Dear Friends and Family,

We are winding down. Nan's wound care nurse came today, replaced the dressings, pronounced it is doing well, replaced the vinyl locks for the nephrostomies. Nan has spent most of her day lying down since things seem to go better than way. She was up for awhile today and again this evening. Nikki and Keanna came to visit bringing dinner and happiness. Keanna took the decorations off the tree in the front room and did a great job of it. She danced with her Dora dancing doll, hugged her grammy and then was gone home to take her bath and go to sleep. Having her here with us for a bit really lifted our spirits.

Nan has had a low day with nearly constant nausea in spite of taking the meds for it.

I drove to Milbrea, SF and then San Jose before heading home. The trusty GPS directed my paths the entire day without a flaw. The poor house in SF was rough, very rough, sad how some people end up having to live. Great guy, been there for dozens of years.

We are looking forward to Nan's birthday celebration on the 28th, sunday. I sincerely hope that by then we have a handle on this nausea and Nan can be feeling better. It was about this time last year when Nan started feeling better and reclaimed her health, drove the car when ever, took trips so perhaps we can do a repeat.

Please pray that God is heal the nausea and leaking or lead us to those who can help.

Tomorrow we have the honor of Art and Connie coming to our house mid morning. Then Art and I will drive to Oakland to do an appraisal and Connie and nan can share some time together. I think I may see if CostCo has tires for my car, the bald ones on the front are scaring me.

Our life has blessings in spite of the down sides, we are thankful to be home, to be warm, to be safe and to have our life with the doggies, fish, our kids, the phone calls, the visits. We are thankful for you, please know that you make a big difference in our lives.

Sending our love to you,

tim and nan
