Kelly, thank you for asking. i was just thinking i should post an
update. things are better--as better as they can be for a couple in
which one partner can barely move any part of her body and and the
other partner has terminal cancer anyhow! my sister learned her special
van is totaled. she's making arrangements to be evaluated to drive with
her hands and i hope she passes. if so, she'll order a new van
customized for her. after a week or so of missing rehearsals of the
play she's directing, a friend managed to take my sister's extra
scooter to the theater, so now with the help of 2 or three people, she
gets into the friends car and is driven to the theater, where someone
brings the scooter out to her. she was able to take over directing the
play and was very happy on opening night. she's my hero. an amazing
person. her husband is doing some deep soul searching and is, as of the
last time i spoke with either of them, taking this one day at a time.
so the news is mostly good. they're making the best of a bad situation.
i SO appreciate all the prayers and good thoughts. they comforted me
while i worried.

the thing i need to push her on is preparing for the next emergency. at
some point, these two will need more help than they're getting and i
wish they had their ducks in a row.
