100 Favorite Verses - Thou Art My Son
Moses 1:3-4
Behold, I am the Lord God Almighty, and Endless is my name; For I am without beginning of days or end of years; and is not this endless? And, behold, thou art my son.
Isaiah 63:16
Doubtless thou art our father, though Abraham be ignorant of us, and Israel acknowledge us not: thou, O LORD, art our father, our redeemer; thy name is from everlasting.

I got up at 4:48 a.m., but what a night I had. My leg hurt so much and James was coughing a lot so I went to sleep on the recliner. I had lots of imaginary visitors tonight. While I was still in my bed I woke up and saw a set of bunkbeds and thought a baby was falling off the top bunk. I woke up yelling and James asked me what was wrong and I told him, "never mind, I will tell you in the morning. I moved to the recliner and woke up a little later and saw several people walking around in our room. One of them looked like someone who delivers pizza but she didn't have any pizza, just a hat and a badge. It's been awhile since I have had one of these episodes and I had forgotten how real they seem. Maybe it was because I was in pain, I don't know.

James was able to order his $11,000 worth of concrete using both of our credit cards. He will be going down tomorrow to pick it up and take it to the medical building in Peoria where they are doing the remodel.

Dr. Thawni? called this afternoon. She is one of the radiation oncologist. She asked James a lot of questions and then she said that she had spoken with Dr. Redimasu, the doctor who did James's last surgery with Dr. Powell as his assistant. She said that Dr. Redimasu thought he could get the cancel with surgery and they would like to try before doing radiation. James agreed. I have a concern but I am not going to mention it here until I discuss it with James.

I got an update from Cathi today regarding Laura:
Laura is very tired but because she is so active. She got some sleep today and walked 1 1/2 times around ICU and just finished two trips around. She had a light lunch (didn't eat much) and dinner tonight. No more feeding via tube. We are waiting for an upstairs room to be available.

Sheri texted today and said there would be no service or viewing for Ian's dad, John. I didn't ask why I just said that was Betty's decision and I hoped the doctor agreed with it. She said they did. Enough said.

I brought in my craft table I had in our bedroom when I was wrapping Christmas presents in December. I got out all of the things I bought yesterday to make valentines and I made a valentine for Catherine Halcomb. I then scheduled a visit with her for Thursday afternoon. I also need to make one for Kerri although I am not her ministering sister.

James made me a fire this evening even though it was extremely cold and we are low on wood. I love having a fire in the evening.

We bought Joe Vaal's brothers book today on Amazon. I am excited to read it. 
Joe is the 2nd oldest

Before going to bed we walked and listened to our book.
