September 8, 2009

Gene has been resting most of the day, but has been aware. Emily went to her PEO book club this morning and seemed to enjoy it. She was not particularly fond of the book, but she enjoyed being with her "PEO sisters" in one of her regular activities. Since she was not going to be with Gene in the morning, she made arrangements for Bruce to go be with him. Bruce has been such a wonderful support for Gene and Emily. He's truly a renaissance man, there's not much, if anything, he can't do! And one of the things he's doing, in addition to visiting with Gene regularly, is giving him gentle massage.

Emily was at Kindred this afternoon and again in the evening. Dr. Brice had been to see Gene and indicated that the pressure wound was looking very good. Gene was very aware tonight, but was tired and kept his eyes closed most of the time. At one point, he pursed his lips as though to give Emily a kiss.

Prayer Requests
Pray for Gene to gain respiratory stength and for his body to heal. Pray for Emily to continue to have strength and to find her way through the next steps as she supports Gene and keeps the home fires lit.
