mike is doing so well still.  he is enjoying special visits with some out of town friends lately and it is so fun to see him smile or laugh or respond to a story.  it is so fun to see him tired out not just from pain but from a good therapy workout or interacting with visitors.  he seems to be handling the pain better.  i am not sure if he is having just as much pain as before or my crankiness just convinced him to use some discretion about how often to moan.  but i am feeling a lot more compassionate than last week and he has been more specific about how to help him through the painful moments.  so we are good.  thanks for the prayer that sustains us!  in Christ, michelle
