Update on Grandma Janet

Not much news on Charlie today; Mike heads down to LA today to be eyes and ears for us, and to be our face to him. Hope to hear more soon. We're really concerned about Charlie. We're not used to having someone this sick, this alone, this far away.

Grandma Janet is the local excitement. The convalescent home called today; she's being "belligerent". She says, "I won't tell you another thing unless Susan is here." Sigh. I guess those are the perks for making it to 91, though it's "not a good sign." She still wants to be in her own house. She hasn't said it, but I think she just doesn't want to have to be 91 years old in her own house.

Sue is coping with overwhelmedness. One daughter is recovering from her wisdom teeth operation; the other is recovering from the flu and will be getting her wisdom teeth out on Friday. Sue herself is now fighting the flu and she hasn't slept more than a token amount for the past couple of nights. Me too. This is getting a little bit out of hand.

I had a long talk with a friend recently. No, we're not the only ones going through a lot of grief right now, and no, this isn't an indication that we're screwing up our lives or our choices. This is just what's going on right now. Ask for prayer.

Oh, wait. That's what we're doing. That's what this website is about (www.dmclain.com). I'm re-activating a few of the email addresses (the ones that I recognize) so that when we post fresh info on the site, you should get a copy in your email, provided I did it right. You can always unsubscribe (see the bottom of the email).

But thanks for praying for us. You're great! Thanks!
