Maybe a Slight Improvement

Steve and I were discussing the other day that we both think we see a slight improvement, ever so slight, in his physical condition. This is a conclusion at which we both arrived, independent of one another. One thing that is definitely better is his restless leg syndrome at night. He used to keep me awake, shaking the whole bed, throughout the night. Now, I hardly notice it. He also has people making comments such as, "You look like a million bucks!" Whether it is true, or whether they are just being nice, it doesn't matter. We are hearing it from enough different people that it is helping his disposition.

One thing is for sure, the progress will be slow. We have resigned ourselves to that. Last Saturday marked week six (6) since returning. Even though the clinic has said to expect eight (8) to 12 weeks before seeing results, they say it sometimes takes up to six (6) months. Our focus now is on doing what we can each day, without so much focus on the long-term. If things improve a little bit every day, the long-term will take care of itself. We are going to have to eat this elephant one bite at a time!

Thanks for your prayers! We need them and we feel them.
