MERRY CHRISTMAS!!

I hope everyone has a wonderful Christmas! We have already had a couple of Christmases, with a few more to go! It's always a busy time this time of year, and next year I know will be worse. I have to admit I have been a bit depressed this year, well, mostly today. My uncle is really not doing well. He has a form of dementia called vascular dementia. I think my family has not been telling me much about it because they don't want me to worry, but I've found out a bit more and it's a lot more serious than I realized. He was having physical issues, which led to him losing his job, and them almost losing their house waiting to get on disability. He has been having TIAs, which are mini-strokes. TIAs almost always lead to something more serious, either a massive stroke that is lethal or leaves you pretty much a vegetable. Although they live in Michigan, I have always been close to my family there. We would go visit every summer, and he and David really hit it off (put it this way, my uncle would call us to talk to him instead of me). I found out today that basically he might not live through the next year. This has been really hard for the whole family to accept, in particular his wife and daughter, and being so far away, it's been really hard for all of us here. So please keep our family in your prayers. Sorry for the depressing story, it's just really been on my mind the past few days. In happy news, my doctor's appointment went well on Monday. I now have to go every 2 weeks. It's hard to believe that it's winding down! We've almost got her room in order...maybe if we can get all of the trash out of there then we can get everything completed. We found a storage cube we want to get...we may get that with Christmas money. We have had a wonderful and blessed Christmas so far - I hope everyone else has as well. I have some pictures still, but I don't have the adapter for the computer! I'm so forgetful...
