Hello Again!
Things are going okay. Natasha is still in a lot of pain, mostly due to her TMJ, now. This keeps her from being able to chew and though her appetite is increasing she can't chew things well. She is a bit bummed about this, for our dear church people are sending in delicious meals and she can't chew well. She had this trouble years ago while we were missionaries in Romania and we saw a chiropractor who adjusted her jaw and things went much better after that... now that isn't as easy to do, so we are praying about what to do to help her. Her jaw can still be adjusted, just not sure that she could take the ride clear out to our present chiropractor. She has her days and nights mixed up... as she did about 18 years ago this time!!! :) She has had a decent day, came downstairs to rest in the recliner, for the 4 walls would get to her if she stayed in her bedroom all day. Just help us pray that she will somehow be able to find some comfortable way to rest at night. You can imagine how comfortable it would be for you to sleep on your dining room table, 24/7... and that's kind of how it feels for her.
We are so blessed to have come through SO much!! Thank you for your continued prayers, they mean so much! Natasha has gotten several cards and gifts from family and friends and has enjoyed reading them... (though that is rather difficult since she must hold them up in the air to even see them, because of her brace! :) Thanks to all of you for your unspeakable kindnesses to us and your prayers... thanks even for those of you who want to comment and can't. We do get your e-mails and they mean so much!

I'm so glad Natasha is able to be home now, although I'm sure it's a little scary to not have all that medical care within arm's reach. I know that you all will take very good care of her and do everything you can to make her comfortable. I pray that her ability to eat improves quickly since I'm sure she is starving after hospital food! May all of you get some much needed rest and may Natasha's recovery go quickly!
