First of all, thank you to those who pitched in to cover Link’s care. He is still growling and swearing at me, but I am hoping in time after his neuter really kicks in, that will change. He still won’t touch dry even when I put tuna juice or water on it, but he inhales the canned food three times daily. So thank you again-

Well, the team is leaving on Tuesday! It will be so nice to get back to an almost normal life again. The cats will be more settled (I hope) I know it will take time- but it was so worth it.

Here are before and after pics of my home. Please don’t judge me to harshly on the before pics. Taking care of Mike all those years, took a toll not only on me, but on my house. As this house has changed, I have found healing among the rooms. Gone are the old painful memories of him falling, bleeding all over the place. The wheelchair scruff marks on the wall are gone- the house is beautiful now and so much more welcoming. I think I mentioned before that Mike liked all the dark stuff (dark paneling) dark curtains. I am embracing the light!

I hope you enjoy the photos, if you are ever in the area, I welcome you over for coffee!

I feel like a true miracle has taken place between these walls. The next phase will be tackling the living room and the carport and fixing the perimeter fence. But it will be awhile until that happens. I just want to stop, relax, and get my cats back to their happy place before bringing more chaos into our lives.

Please pray for my contractor Richard. He has a lump on his neck that they recently biopsied and told him it was not benign. He will have surgery on the 19th and then depending on what they find when they get in there, he will have some intense rounds of radiation. His wife is having a lot of trouble with this news, but Richard is a beautiful Christian, strong in his faith and so if you can just pray that the surgeon’s hands remain steady and his mind sharp during the procedure, I am sure the family would appreciate it.
