The Lord's Day--February 20

What a wonderful day filled with God, love, friends and great progress.  Jamie stayed with Jacque last night so I was in bed and asleep by 10 p.m.  I got up at 5 a.m. and made 6 a.m. mass at the hospital.  When I got up to Jacque's room I found out he did not have a good night's sleep.  I am beginning to believe he has his days and nights mixed up. He took a good nap from about 7am to 11 am.  Then therapy came and took him to the gym.  He got back to the room around 11:45.  The therapist were so excited about all that he did.  When he got back to the room ,he was so excited to see Bart and Judy Stewart and June and Johanna Fowler--those guys go way back--and shared stories about the younger days.  It is a wonder any of those three are still alive. Needless to say , the ladies laughed and laughed.  After they left Jackie and Bill Gaddis arrived with goodies in hand and Jacque entertained Jackie and Bill with Boudreaux jokes.  Ronnie and Marie Taylor also dropped in.  Of course, the topic immediatedly changed to hunting and fishing.  Ronnie and Jacque both love to fish and hunt. I must admit to everyone though the highlight was when Jacque Jr brought Cole and Sean to see their Pawpaw.  Jacque loves his children and grandchildren. Jacque and the boys went shopping to buy Jacque some clothes for rehab.  We have outfits now in three sizes, small, medium and large.  Since Jacque has lost so much weight we are not sure what size he will wear.  But starting tomorrow no more hospital gowns!! Maybe--just maybe--Jacque will get his last tube out--the iv may be removed tomorrow. We are moving to the rehab floor, which is on the 10th floor.  Tomorrow will be a busy day moving.  Please continue to pray for our recovery as Jacque begins boot camp--Ha Ha.  Love you all--God is good--We are so blessed.  Love--Laure
