Yes! It's true! I'm at home now and have been here for three days. I'm beginning to get out of the "invalid mode" and be more independent. It is good to be home after not even seeing it for over two months. I'm sleeping better, too.
I want to thank all of you for your prayers and best wishes for my recovery. In many ways my recovery is somewhat of a miracle. God has been so good to me and my family. The time at Sherman West Court nursing facility was just the right thing for me. It literally "got me on my feet" so that I can walk and have much better control of my leg muscles. I had Occupational Therapy and Speech Therapy as well. One thing I'm working on very hard is to loosen my right jaw muscle. I have a device called a TheraBite which helps with this. I must be faithful in this, or I won't be able to open my mouth very wide.
We received our first copy of my book, Do Not Go, My Love: An Odyssey of Eight Years with Stroke and Dementia. The book will be in some of the Christian Bookstores. Amazon.com can handle it, but they may be slow in getting the book out.Borders Books will be able to get it also. A better way might be to contact Warren Anderson at wanderson@judsonu.edu
I am hoping that this book will be of help to people who are going through similar circumstances.
I pray God's blessing on you.
In His Great Service, Alice

Dear Alice, This is Elaine Ettinger. We were classmates at Wheaton (class of '52) I read your book...what a blessing! Sad of course but extremely encouraging. What a great God we have who enabled you and Ed to go through those 8 years in such a loving and adventuresome way. A woman in my church who is a widow asked to read your book. She read it all the way through in a few days. She and her husband were greatly blesed by Paul Thompson when he was pastor of First Baptist Church in Plymouth. She was so enthusiastic about your book. Thanks so much. The book will be a blessing to many. Love and Prayers. Elaine
