Just a quick note to let you know how well Vivian is doing!
Last night Vivian slept GREAT. Marian reported that she never heard a peep from the room above hers - hooray! Vivian has completely rejected wearing diapers, and we have had no accidents, even during the night. Today Vivian sat up in bed and colored for an hour or more in her big Rudolph coloring book. Vivian colored Rudolph's nose purple, and when Marian asked her why, Vivian giggled and replied, "I'm so silly. I'm tricking you." Later in the afternoon Vivian sat at her computer and played on PBSKids.com for a little while. Tonight Robert helped Vivian walk downstairs and out to the backyard. She rode her tricycle around the driveway a couple of times and then walked holding our dog Tucker's leash through our gate and into the front yard. All of this was with assistance for balance, but these events represent enormous progress! We are elated with the extent and pace of Vivian's recovery.

My sister, Marian, returned home to Georgia this afternoon. I was terribly sad for her to leave but deeply appreciate the week she took away from her family to be here with me. Marian was a tremendous help and comfort.
My friend Cynthia arrived from Mississippi just after Marian's departure. I was delighted to see her and look forward to having her here for a few days.

Praise God for the tangible improvement in Vivian's strength and balance. Praise Him that Vivian is sleeping longer and more peacefully. Praise Him that Vivian is enjoying her favorite activities again and that her funny little sense of humor has returned. Pray for Vivian to resume eating (I was not able to work with her on this today). Pray for healing for Vivian's arm.
Thank you for your continued kindness.

Thanks for sharing your life. We appreciate being able to feel a part of your experience without having to phone too often. Love, Sharon

Oh, Eloise! I'm elated to read this. I was so very worried for Vivian but it looks like prayers have been answered. I'm so glad she's doing better; it looks like she's improving in leaps and bounds. Your post has just made my week. I'm still praying for you and your family. Have a blessed weekend and give a hug to Vivian for me.
I am so happy to see you facing happiness again. Family moments are so precious and a proof of God presence into us.
Praise to the Lord and the author of our faith.
