Debbie continues to have a great deal of weakness, although some of the medication is improving her awake time. She also continue to have some difficulty with memory — especially short-term memory. This means that I have to be much more attentive to her needs because she has trouble remembering things she has just done (like taking her medications or eating a meal). At time, her memory loss is more acute, even to the point of not being able to remember my name or hers. Thankfully, those times are usually short and resolve themselves in a few hours to a day. She has another round of tests coming up the week of Thanksgiving. Be praying for us, especially for strength and wisdom as I make decisions for her and for the ministry. So far, I have been able to remain active in ministry and I pray that I will not have to miss any teaching times this spring. Also continue to pray for us regarding our medical bills. We pay over $1000 each month out of pocket on medical bills. Thankfully I have no debt except my home mortgage, but it is still difficult financially. Thanks for your prayers.
