Fall Flowers


Mary picked some fall flowers from the backyard and made a nice arrangement. It's well past the time of brilliant summer flowers, but, seeing a bit of color outdoors, this time of year is always exciting and uplifting. So we brought them inside to enjoy.

Dad ran out of Phenobarbital. He was prescribed with it years ago, after his brain seizure at Thanksgiving. Since he isn't driving anymore, and hasn't had a seizure since, Mary (my wife and pharmacist, and everything else!) suggested that Dad simply not get refills. Phenobarbital is known to cause drowsiness and cognitive impairment.

Mary and I talked with Mom and Dad Monday night. Dad was so much better, more coherent, and conversational! What a great change. I said to Mom, "This is a nice Christmas present." Mom said, "Oh, it's much more than that!"

Let's keep praying that Dad keeps on going strong. I'm also praying for Aunt Martha, Aunt Ena, Mom .... etc. ... and I'm thankful for angels like Nagulinie.
