Day 553 - December 20 - I'm ba-ack!
Well, I've made it safely to Atlanta and back, having spent a week rubbing elbows with the FAA bigwigs, seeing some old friends, making some new ones, and solidifying friendships with some of the guys at work. I managed to get out of Atlanta on Friday after only an hour's delay, and rolled up to the house just nineteen and a half hours after I climbed out of bed that morning.
I came home to what has been a tough week for Cherié, Connor and Granny. Connor's shoulders and neck are still paining him, and Cherié has hurt her back so that she can hardly stand or move, yet still was having to do all of the daily tasks involved with caring for the boy. They got through because they had to, but it's telling on them. Hopefully Cherié will be able to rest long enough to get her back in shape again now that I'm home.
Granny was supposed to be traveling back to Spokane today, but has decided to stay until Friday because of Cherié's back.
It wasn't all misery for them last week, though - Connor and his friend Josh managed to get out a couple of days to do some Christmas shopping, and yesterday all of us watched our friend Toma dance in the San Jose Youth Ballet's performance of the Nutcracker. She danced the Spanish Dance (among others) and was decidedly our favorite! Way to go, Toma!Please remember Connor and Cherié this week - I know it's Christmas week and you've got much to do, but your prayers are greatly coveted. Thanks for staying with us.

So glad you made it back safely. And so sorry to hear about Connor's pain and Cherie's back. I know about back pain, as I've had two surgeries now. I'm really praying for Connor and Cherie both. And pray you can all have a wonderful Christmas together!
Your sister in Christ.

I hope Cherie's back is feeling better soon--no fun at all! but especially when you are the caregiver. Glad that Granny will be able to stay, as well--what a special treat for all of you! Does that mean she's cooking Christmas dinner--we'll all be there:) Could you please re-send Connor's address; I accidentally erased it. Thanks!
Cheryl,
Connor's address is listed in the post before this one - "Day 545 - December 12 - Christmas comes". If you don't see it there, you can click the link under "Previous posts" to the right of the blog column.
Thanks for asking!

I will be praying for Cherie's back to be STRONG and HEALTHY. And I will continue to pray for Connor's healing.
Have a very BLESSED Christmas!!!
REJOICE in the Lord ALWAYS--Again I say REJOICE!!
Your sis,

Will just keep praying for you all.
