Getting Stronger Every Day

Since Ellie has started a blog about going to London, it inspired me to update ours. A lot of time has passed since May ... and Mike continues to grow stronger all the time. He is back to doing everything he wants to do, as long as he takes a little nap in the afternoon. He doesn't seem to mind that a bit!

I think he really turned a corner about three weeks ago when he played nine holes of golf and cut the grass all in one day -- and then felt fine the next day. All that walking he has been doing is really paying off!

He went to the cardiologist a couple of weeks ago and after some tests was told his heart is at about 33% capacity right now. But it hasn't even been six months yet, so that's ok. He was told it would take 6 months to a year to fully recover. So he continues to monitor everything from home (he is very disciplined about it) and pace himself and otherwise is back to normal. Thanks be to God.

Life is busy, but we are doing well. It will be strange having two daughters out of the country this Fall. Ellie leaves for London Thursday and Beth for Toronto the beginning of November (new job). Hope you are well, too. Much love! Peggy
