Today was a pretty long day.  Lael and Liz took Anna for her second day of hyperbaric treatment in Wauseon.  I think Liz had to leave her house before 5:30am and probably didn’t get back before 5:30pm…  Anna did real well again apparently, she was a bit stressed this evening, but not too bad.  PLEASE continue to pray for Anna’s knees, and for the treatment!  Also pray for strength - it’s tough, especially when the nurse doesn’t come at night.  We give thanks to God for Amber and Mindy, our two regular nurses, and pray for His provision of a third!

I got the bill for the hospital stay in Columbus today.  The cost for the room, nursing and supplies (not doctors or tests) was… are you ready?  Are you really ready?  Are you sure? $241,199.12.  They sent the bill and offered that we could pay by Visa, MasterCard, or even Discover!  We thank God for His provision that He is taking care of ALL the bills.

We give thanks to God for the great reports on Bro. Ron Spencer and how much better he’s doing!  PRAISE GOD!

We also give thanks for the wonderful teachers at our children’s school – we had our parent-teacher meetings today, and we are so grateful for the love and compassion they have shown to Bliz, Jake and Em during this time.

God bless,

Richard
