Mike was back in physical therapy this morning. His PT added three new exercises to Mike's routine, using weights. A lot of the exercises he is being given are for strengthening Mike's lower back, thighs and arms. Mike was ready to lie down once he got home. We learned last week that our insurance has approved as many PT sessions as necessary for Mike.

Everything with Mike's liver is functioning well since our last trip to Houston. We would love to relax, let our guard down, enjoy the holidays, and feel as close to "normal" as we can possibly feel, but it doesn't come easy. There is so much on our minds.

But our hearts are infinitely grateful for the love we have from our family, and the depth of unconditional love, and immense support we continue to receive from our friends. The measures of understanding you have, could only come by God's hand, and that leaves Mike and I speechless, and on our knees. You have been such a blessing to us.

"It is blessed to know of a place where we can lay our tired head and heart, our heavenly Father's arms, and say to Him, "I can do no more. And I have nothing to tell you. May I lie here a while and rest? Everything will soon be well again if I can only rest in Your arms a while." --O. Hallesby
