Where's the switch?

Just a quick note. We had a fabulous day today! Mike was calm all day and fairly lucid, even though we stayed inside the entire day due to rain and cold.  We had our devotions upstairs this morning and our hymnal was downstairs so I decided to look up a song on the iPad to sing that went along with our Psalm of the day.  Well, that led to Mike's being attached to the iPad and singing along with various songs through You Tube videos that had the words scrolling along on the screen.  Was wonderful! He walked his flight pattern singing, we stopped and ate breakfast and then he continued to walk.  I cleaned up the kitchen and baked cookies, while Mom did laundry and made applesauce. He started listing to the side, but would not sit down for the longest time.  He finally did and we worked on the puzzle til lunchtime.  He ate lots of applesauce and wasn't doing the up/down, up/down antzy stuff at the table, which was terrific!  I wish I knew what switch was flipped the right way, cause I sure would keep it there!  This afternoon, he and Mom finished the puzzle while I made Cheesy Chicken Chowder for supper and then he built a couple of things with the K'nex.

Tonight we all watched a really great sermon by Dr. Charles Stanley on "Victory over Rejection". If you have ever felt rejected, and we all have to some degree, what Dr. Stanley says makes a lot of sense and accepting the promises of the Bible will make a huge difference in dealing with the effects of rejection.  Check it out at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kodYnTxLU3I.

Yesterday had its ups and downs.  Mostly ups. Church went well and we were able to stay through Scene 7 of 11 scenes in the play, just before Dorothy was to go off in the hot air balloon.  The actors all did a terrific job and Mike may have been able to stay for the entire show if I had thought to bring an extra dose of medications. We both enjoyed the outing very much.

Thank you so much for praying.  Days like today, give me a huge boost of hope for Mike's recovery, plus I enjoyed a more relaxing day too with lots of wonderful, worshipful music.  Was funny, we received the exact same AARP article from Mom Rice and Jim & Sonia today regarding the therapeutic properties of music.  Mike and I can each read one tomorrow! Thanks!
