Dear Louie:

First I must apologize for taking so long to write to you, but as I know you understand I have been busy, Daniel has been tested for M.D and the tests results have come back postive, we are praying it is not Duchene's, but the doctors believe it may be, I am praying not, that is the most scary diagnosis I can imagine.

Rebekka Rachel was home for the weekend, and glad to be home, she did so well in fact the doctors are talking about letting her come home every weekend, because her spirits picked up so much when she was at home, and she has regained some movement in her right arm, she is still depenedent on others for most everything and she absolutely hates it, but she is slowly learning to live with it.

Maddie is doing so much better, they are talking about letting her come home as early tomorrow, but nothing is certain yet, we are praying for her though, and Susie is doing better, in fact all the kids are doing well.  Keesha may face surgery in the next few weeks, which will greaten her chances of walking, but she's scared understandably so, the same surgery took the little ability to walk away from me that I had, but I am learning to accept my limitations though I am little scared over the fact that my arms are starting to be affected to, but I have faith in the Lord, and I know with his help I will get through this.

Kendra is excited the call came in to day, she will go pick up the girls tomorrow night at the airport, she is about to bust from all the excitement, and to top it off she is pregnant, as I know you already know, it truly is a miracle.

Well I have bent your ear so to speak long enough so I am going to go, I am packing to go over to Naomi's for a few days Bill has to go to work and he doesnt want to leave me here alone with the kids, and besides I need to spend time with my twin sister, and Sierra will be there as well, she is going to need all the love and encouragement she can get.

God Bless
