Wow, it’s Christmas already!!

Wow, time has sure flown since we’ve been back home!   A lot has been going on, but Billy is doing exceptionally well!!  He has been taken off quite a few medications (some that he was on before his accident) and is doing great!!  He was able to come off Coumadin this week and we are so thankful for that (he was freezing!)! 

About a month ago we requested prayer in our Sunday School class as we were both showing symptoms of depression and the Lord has answered in a magnificent way!!  Billy has improved so much over the past few weeks!  He is beginning to look and act more like the old Billy that I fell in love with  years ago!  We will be celebrating our 10th anniversary in a couple of weeks!  Time can really get away from you!  In some ways, it seems like  yesterday when I met him (I was smitten right away) and in others it seems like we have been together forever!!  I feel like my life began when we met! These past 10 years have been the best of my life!  God has truly blessed me with this precious man!!!  I am feeling much better also!  I was trying to hold everything in and not worry anyone!  We really appreciate all the prayers that have gone up for us!  We are seeing God work in every aspect of our lives!! 

 He has been released from physical and speech therapies for good!  They both said he has met and exceeded all their goals!  He is still in Occupational Therapy at this point and is doint remarkably well!  He has improved in every area and we are praying that he will be able to go back to work soon, Lord willing!!  I am amazed every day at how well he is doing!!! 

He is having problems with a lot of noise and activity so we were advised to take it slow!  We went to a high school basketball game to watch his nephew, Cody, play ball and it was too much for Billy!  He sometimes gets very nervous in crowds!  So we may be limiting our attendance at large events for a while.   He was told that earplugs may help so we’ll see!

Well, I guess it’s time to close tonight!  Tomorrow is going to be another busy day!  There is still so much to tell but I am short of time tonight!  We just wanted to wish everyone a Very Merry Christmas and Joyous New Year and to thank you all for remembering us in your prayers! 

May God bless you and keep you in His care until next time!

Love in Christ,

Billy & Gina
