Very quiet day today. John did not sleep most of last night but he seemed to do fairly well today. He wanted his eyes checked because they were bothering him. The good news is that the prescription of his glasses is fine. The bad news is that the only thing that can be done to help the discomfort in his eyes is to use some eye drops to help with the dryness.
Today was our grandson, Samuel's  (Sammy) sixth birthday (Tanya's little one). He also started school today. What a birthday present!!! Well, he was thrilled.
Tomorrow Bishop Ron plans to come and give us communion.
One definite improvement is with John's voice. Although he still cannot talk when he is off (meds not working right)  when he is on (meds have clicked in) he has a much stronger voice and can actually call me from another room rather than ringing his bell.
We go to speech therapy on Friday. Last time our very young therapist was telling John he should grow his hair long - so I bought a blonde wig at value village and he will wear it this week to surprise her.
Please continue to pray for John to be able to do the things he is able to do and be wise enough not to try to do those he should not. This week when we went to Wal-Mart he drove their electric cart as he has done for the last few years - but he says he can't handle it anymore so he won't use it again.

One thumbs up for today
