Yeah! Dad is getting better and better. Dad went to his Dr.'s appointment today. Blood sugar looks good, minor adjustment in medication, and bed sore is a tad bit better. He'll start physical therapy next week. He likes to get out of the house as much as he can. Yesterday I took him out twice...once to Walmart and then later to the movie store and Safeway. He's getting stronger and doesn't get tired as quickly as he used to. Mom and I were both busy today so Robby took Dad out to do some errands.
I finished working both my jobs this last Wednesday. It's been nice to be home to take Dad out, and to be with my family. We've spent more time together this last month than we have in a while because we were all so busy before. Now we realize how precious our time together is and other things just don't seem as important. I have especially appreciated our time together since I will be leaving October 14th to move to Nebraska to start a new job. Mom can't wait to have my room. She wants to turn it into an office. I never realized how much time it takes to move...especially out of state. This will be my first time moving out of state, and I will be flying so I can't take everything with me. It's becoming quite a chore going through all my stuff and deciding if it is worth keeping, taking with me, or storing for the time being. I am excited about going and looking forward to this opportunity God has given me to work with youth. I will be a care provider in a residential home for teens. I am really going to treasure this last week I have with my family.
Continue to pray for peace and patience for all of us, and for God to continue healing Dad. We praise God for all He has done so far, and we know that He is in control of all things.

Well, daughter, we will treasure your last week at home also...your last week for awhile, anyway! Nebraska seems like a long ways away...but a lot closer than Africa. I'm thankful you have been here through dad's "ordeal" - you have been a great support and help. But now hurry and pack because I can't wait to move into your room! :) love you, mom
Glad to hear Robert's doing better. Rosanna, I don't blame you about not wanting to pack....it's not fun to move.
Remember this time you could call it "New Beginnings." New beginnings of restore and healing, and New beginning for your new adventure for you and your family.
Yes, Nebraska is closer than, Africa...AMEN!!! Just think, soon you'll be in snow and long johns.:)
Great that we can blog and respond daily.. We want to remember your very important date...Oct. 6th for you and Robby, also Janelle's Birthday. I'm glad you can celebrate it with your family before you leave.
KEEP LIVING and we'll KEEP PRAYING!!!!
Mom and Diane
Rosanna,
Nebraska is closer to Indiana than Oregon. You are always welcome to visit your family in the Midwest. What town will you be moving to? Oh, will you have any time off for the holidays? You are always welcome to Warsaw and Winona Lake, Indiana.
