Explanation of Recent Absence
« on: January 14, 2016, 02:29:28 PM »
I have not been posting to the Forum in recent weeks due to my wife's illness requiring her to return to critical care in hospital. However, I check the site frequently and wish my fellow members all the best for the coming year.

I'll second that.

Lifting you both up in prayer as well.
Thank you for the update.

Thank you, gentlemen.

Joyce is no longer in ICU, where she spent over three weeks under sedation on a ventilator, and has been transferred to a Select Specialty Hospital.  She has spent the last four days being able to breathe without ventilator support and is showing the first signs of progress, albeit slow, toward a recovery. Your kind wishes are truly appreciated.
