CREEPING ALONG

Philip seems to be a little better today. All of the blood work may be starting to get into line. We work for balance. I have to say the physicians are wonderful each hour is a new problem and each hour they work with it. Philip hasn’t slept in days but the staff is not concerned because he is not mean and aggressive. He lays in his bed and mumbles, but remains sweet.

Shelly and I decided to take turns today because we are both exhausted and so I will take the morning, he will take the afternoon and we will both be here after dinner. It is our hope that we won’t be so exhausted.

Think liver!

  2. Hi Guys,
    I’m thinking (praying)liver!
    If and when Phil is up for a joke, here is one:

    A bar mitzvah boy, preparing his bar mitzvah speech, asked his mom about their ancestry. Mom spoke of her illustrious background, all the way back to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.

    “And where did they come from?”

    “From Adam and Eve.”

    “And they?”

    “G-d created them.”

    The boy wrote it down and then went to dad. “Where do we come from?” asks the boy.

    “Ah, we come from the apes. After millions years of evolution we evolved into humans.”

    The confused boy comes running back to his mom. “Mom, you said we come Adam, Eve and G-d. Dad says we come from the apes…”

    “No contradiction here, son,” she said. “I was talking about my side of the family. He was talking about his side of the family.”

    I lifted this from an article by Rabbi YY Jacobson.

    Love and shabbat shalom,
    Sarah Rochel

  10. Dear Sperlings: I really missed and thought of all of you today at Shul. You were mentioned several times by Yossi and Spanganthal. Your Ohr Ha Torah family is there with you in spirit. Please try to get some rest I know you are exhausted. Love you and miss you, Cindi Powell
