Lixy just sent us a terrific note bringing us up-to-date on her sister.

Her sister no longer communicates effectively. Lixy and her family read simple things to her sister, but her sister's attention span is quite short.

The kids my wife takes care of in a Before and After Care program did a lot of cards for her sister and we mailed those to her. I guess her sister can no longer read but she was so happy to look at the wonderful and colorful pictures the kids did. These young children are terrific! They ask about Lixy's sister and pray together for her every day. It's the way things ought to work. No wonder our Lord said that it's of such as these that the kingdom of heaven is made.

Her sister hasn't been able to come home yet ... not since her last seizure and a blod clot in her lungs. The clot has lessened but it's still scary. She can't walk any more, so Lixy and her family help stimulate the legs and exercising them.

Lixy misses Pixie's so very much. She simply hasn't had much time to spend at the computer and feels bad about that. But, we're grateful that she took the time to send us this note and kindly said that I could share highlights of it with everyone here.

From Lixy ... hugs and kisses and hugs and more kisses!

Lixy ... the same from us to you!
