Today was such an awesome day. I can't believe what a difference it makes to wake up feeling full of light rather than in the depths of despair. I can tell it is making a difference for Jeff too. When the energy therapist came to work with us this morning, his face was full of light. He worked hard on clearing more issues that are coming to the surface. I had a chance to release more of my old stuff as well. Each time we do this, I feel more and more light coming into my heart.
The home health care nurse and the physical therapist also came today. His health continues to steadily improve. However, his muscle tone is declining somewhat due to lack of use, so it is definately getting more difficult for him to transfer from the bed to his wheelchair to his chair. He worked very hard with the PT and was worn out when she left. I admire his courage and determination so much. She did put in the orders for the hospital bed. I don't expect him to just lie around in bed all day, but it will make some things much easier. At this point, I am really being very careful about taking care of myself so any help I can get in that respect is a good move.
Charla came home from the library today with a copy of Charlotte's Web in spanish and began reading it to Jeff. He enjoyed it very much. I am also reading a book to him called Healing the Inner Self From Darkness into Light by Melvin C Fish. It is an amazing book that has helped me understand much of what has happened in our lives, especially the last couple of years since Emily died. Jeff seems to totally comprehend both the Spanish and the concepts in the other book. We have had some very interesting discussions lately.
He joined us at the table for dinner tonight and got a kick out of hearing our children plan a business venture. He was just delightful and pleasant all evening. Even though many things are extremely challenging right now with his body, his mind seems more clear than ever. I take that as a good sign. More than anything else right now we are truly loving the light that seems to be eminanting throughout our home and in our hearts.
Each day is a new adventure in learning. We will see what tomorrow brings.
