Update





Thank you for all the prayers and encouraging messages. I have received so many requests for updates, my apologies if I don’t get back to each of you individually. Derek is feeling much better. The doctors at the ER determined that he passed out from low blood pressure and iron deficiency. I am grateful to Derek for saving these episodes for church, where there are doctors and nurses who were just sitting there anyway, and lots of friends to help with crowd control.


As for me, I have been having fewer extremes of Parkinson's symptoms, which is good, except that I haven't had much of that energetic "on" time that I was having for an hour or two almost everyday. Seems like I can either have days with extreme highs and lows, or this foggy malaise all day.






 
But we are all hanging in there.
Not by a thread, 

Nor a hammock in the shade, 
But by a rope.
It's just a rope,
But we are hanging on tightly
Because God has the other end.
