Weekly update

Hello friends and family--Katie will make me a blogger, yet! Little by little and step by step--Lloyd gets better every day; no walking yet, but he is standing better and is still losing weight--down to 314, now. I'm in the midst of getting ready for Christmas--some of my staff came over this morning and we cut and wrapped 14 batches of caramels. What a relief. I still have about 50 cheese balls to make and bake a garbage sack full of chex mix; the plan is for these to be distributed on Dec. 18th. It's still questionable whether we will be able to get Lloyd home on Christmas--he needs to be able to transfer from chair to car, and car to chair, etc. We're getting there, and he has a great motivation to come home--Derek and Vicki and their five pixies are coming for Christmas. What fun! We feel blessed--Stephanie and Guy and Daniel were here for Thanksgiving--and of course, Katie has been a great help. She's going to accompany me to our company party tonight so I don't have to drive in Fresno at night--my night vision is the pits! Today is Santa Lucia Day in Kingsburg--but I'll miss the parade as I have to be in Fresno. Thanks so much for all your love and support. It helps--love, Mom, grandmom and Georgie

Lloyd's Therapy

As you can see Lloyd's recovery is progressing. He is able to move his left side more and is making progress everyday. Many friends have come to visit him which keeps his spirits up. Thank you for all your prayers and good wishes. We love you all.

Happy Thanksgiving to one and all!

Here are some of the festive fun pics of our dinner we had today. We spent Thanksgiving with Lloyd in the hospital. Steph, Guy, Daniel and Katie had dinner from Black Bear Diner while Lloyd and I ate the food from the kitchen at Hacienda. It was an enjoyable Thanksgiving. One to be grateful for.
