Dear Family and Friends,

 Miriam is stable. Her progress remains slow and there is very little to report. She had a low grade fever and it was attributed to a very mild upper respiratory tract infection.She is better now.

Yesterday, a new nurse at the Skilled Nursing Facility was getting her orientation. I participated by telling her about Miriam's nursing needs etc. Then I began to share with her who Miriam was before her horrific stroke. I do this mini orientation to every new nurse or CNA. I want them to see her as a person not just a patient.  I started "bragging" about her and I know she  does not like me to talk about her gifts and talents from the Lord. I explained to Miriam why I was bragging about her and she reacted with a muted smile. Every little smile from her is progress for me.

This evening, I was watching a short TV program and there was a young mother who delivered her baby. It brought back memories when mom Miriam gave birth to our two wonderful boys. I began to cry and became thankful to God for allowing me to marry her.
 

Thank you all for your continued prayers. Please do not give up on her. God will deliver His miracle.

In His Time,

 Alex

Happy New Year

Alex: " I know my dear wife so well, that were she able to communicate, I know she would want to say this to everyone......"

Dear Family and Friends

Happy New Year to my dear family and friends. A new year means a new beginning. Goodbye 2011 and welcome 2012. 

Thank you for your unceasing prayers. I am expecting God's miracles as I continue to pray for all of you. I am unable to talk but I can hear and understand everything. I am thankful to God that I have all of you praying for me everyday. Please do not lose hope because God is faithful. He has been my Heavenly Father since I lost my dad at age 4. He will never leave me nor forsake me. 

I am expecting His miracles. They are coming soon. May the Lord bless all of you and grant you the desires of your heart.

In His Time,

Mom /  Miriam
