Our very HAPPY Easter!

Hello friends & family,

I hope everyone had a fabulous Easter with their loved ones! We spent ours with Mom at HOME and it was absolutely PERFECT!

Dad picked her up early morning, they ran into mass to receive communion then headed to over Kelly & Duncan's house for a wonderful lunch! Kelly & Duncan are Holiday Host Professionals these days!

The BEST part of our entire day was having her at the dinner table! Such a blessing!!! I felt God's presence all day!

Her spirits were high, but towards the end of the day she was starting to fade. I think the pain from her recent foot surgery and the medicines were starting to kick in. When she is fatigued, she is very hard to understand, which leads to frustration. {Very understandable, but it breaks our hearts when we can't figure out what she's telling us!} As the brain continues to heal, we hope to see improvement with her speech.

She did great yesterday and Mom & Dad have become excellent at getting around in a wheelchair. I even saw Dad pull off a two wheelie! ; ) Dad still continues to amaze EVERYONE. He's the strongest Man in the World! His love for Mom is unmatched!

As you know, this is a VERY BIG week for us. Mom is coming home this Friday! The countdown has started and we can't wait for the next chapter.

Please keep the prayers a'comin, Prayer Warriors! These next few weeks are going to be full of new challenges for us as we start this next chapter.

Thank you for all the thoughts and prayers yesterday and Happy Easter to everyone!

Love, Rachel
