Marty had a trip to the ER last week, just thinking we might have had an abscess at the site of the j-tube. So we got to spend a day there with a lovely trip to the CT scan room. All to our relief that it was only a local skin infection called cellulitis and could be taken care of externally with antibiotic cream, another trip home via ambulance and we were tired but happy to be home.
Marty's physical therapist, Rich, has helped Marty make great strides...literally. Yesterday he walked with his walker 34 steps outside, sat in the chair in the sun for an hour then walked back inside. A very good day. His dear friend Fred Schuller came and they had good conversations about the BIZ.

We have had so many friends and family help us there are just too many to mention. They bring a song, a smile, some food, or they hold me when I cry. We have good days and not so good days...but all in all you must know we could not do this without you and we thank you from our hearts.
Our dear friend Hayne has been an angel and come nearly every day and so she has seen many of Marty's first steps towards wholeness before others. Here she is with Marty as he sat in the rocker a few days ago. Here he is with little Jake and Hayne.

We are still seeking an RN to help for a few hours a week, as well as a primary care physician. I have been able to complete some paperwork for Medical and we are getting into a rhythm. I could always use more sleep, but overall we are grateful and hopeful.
There is NO place like home.
Thank you my dear ones. Oh and I have also started a calendar for folks who would like to help out:
And last but certainly NOT least the community is coming together to help us raise some more funding to offset our rising medical costs. here is the poster, YES and Lacy J. Dalton will be our guest of honor. So much talent and it will be a very special night, Sunday Feb 10th.
See y'all there!
Love
Ginny & Marty
