August 6 Day +21

Dear friends and family,

"Shout for joy to the Lord, all the earth. Worship the Lord with gladness; come before him with joyful songs. Know that the Lord is God. It is he who made us and we are his; we are his people, the sheep of his pasture. Enter his gates with thanksgiving and his courts with praise; give thanks to him and praise his name. For the Lord is good and his love endures forever, his faithfulness continues through all generations." Psalm 100.

We rejoice today that Becky is doing so well. The ache in her chest seems to be better today which makes us think it was muscle after all. She said it still bothers her when she bends over at times but it isn't as bad as it was the last few days.

We went to another part of the hospital today called Queeny Towers to have the antibiotic breathing treatment done. They were a little disorganized and it took longer than we expected but she did well and we were back to the apartment by 2:30. Since I drove to the appointment we decided to take the "scenic route" back through Forest Park. It is a beautiful park and maybe when she's stronger we'll be able to go enjoy it more.

We came back and I fixed "lupper" (combo lunch and supper) since we hadn't eaten much since breakfast. Becky is still doing well with eating and drinking for which we're grateful.

Not much else from here. A friend is coming by tonight to show Barb some more of the shopping places around the area and where I need to be at what time of day. They said this area is safe during the day but a woman doesn't need to be out alone at night. Of course that's about any place anymore.

Love,
Becky and Barb
