Hello everyone!
To continue on with Jamie's post from yesterday (Saturday)...as the day went on we continued to see good things. Jamie's kids arrived while Mom was eating dinner...and my kids arrived shortly after that. Mom came back from dinner thrilled to see the Oswego clan, and after the Larson kids got there...she stood up and told us she wanted to go out to the "great room." It's nice out there, more roomy, and there's a piano! Emily immediately went over and started playing a little on the piano, and soon Di joined her as we found some piano books full of Hymns. They started playing them and Mom, Dad, Jamie, David, and I started singing along...in four part harmony, I might add. While we didn't draw much of an audience (because we were competing with Lawrence Welk on TV...) I think we sounded pretty good! Mom sang away not missing a word or a note...many Hymns, many verses. It was wonderful! Although reading and singing is one of those things we call "automatic" ... it was still very good therapy for her to just get so many different words to flow easily out of her mouth. What a great way to end the evening! And, as always, I will end with thanking you all for your continued support in every way!
Following your progress, Jean. Marilyn McFarland is going thru the same thing down here in Florida. She is doing well too and I talked to her on the phone last week. She called me!! That was great. Keep up the good work.
ReplyDeleteI'm enjoying keeping up with your progress, Jean! It sounds like you are doing so well on your recovery road. And thanks to David, Jamie, and Diana for all the updates. Very helpful in knowing what to pray about. How fun to just sit around the piano and sing! When do we take time out of our busy schedules to do that? Some very special family time going on right now.
