Victor continues to recover, slowly. The infection is still problematic; his kidneys, too, have not yet decided to return to function. However, he is much more alert and active. He really wants to go home and doesn't want Marta to leave his side. He's also restless and pulls at various tubes, tries to sit up, etc. Just a different stage of recovery. Doctors are optimistic for full recovery. Thanks for your continued prayers.

As for me, I'm somewhat like the sprinter who can't take a marathon. For short periods of time, I can do normal activities, albeit slowly. Then for a period of time, I sit as activities swirl around me, kind of like being in the eye of the hurricane. Or, maybe a better metaphor is hiding in the cleft of the Rock. Bob is still doing double-duty at home although I have resumed most of my responsibilities at church. Return to work? I'm taking it under advisement! :)

Thanks again for your prayers and support.
