Out and About

Today is Dad's birthday. HAPPY BIRTHDAY DAD! After a delightful time of talking with all his Oklahoma grandchildren, Dad and I agreed that birthday's aren't quite what they used to be when we were young. Time is flying by too fast and the birthday's seem to be coming too often. Nevertheless, I did wish my dad God's best on his special day and hoped it would be very enjoyable. Dad thought it was going to be and was looking forward to celebrating with Mom.

For the last few days, Dad and Mom have been going on outings. Today the plan is to a visit a local museum. Dad and Mom both enjoy museums of most any kind. Mom has been feeling well enough to get out and about. Praise the Lord! Mom and Dad have been to visit Mom's sister again, to Mom's favorite bookstore and on a drive to Half Moon Bay. Day is loving this new found opportunity for adventure. Mom appreciates seeing more than the hospital, Infusion Ward and apartment. How wonderful they can "travel" as they so both love doing! Dad said it makes the day go faster and gives Mom something to look forward to. It does sound like Dad will have a great birthday!

Mom is doing as well as anyone with Aplastic Anemia can expect to be doing. Each day is a gift from God and we praise Him for it.
