Dear Brethren,

Since Betty broke her leg on Christmas Day, the church has piped the services into our home via the television, giving me the opportunity to attend services at church while some of the ladies stay with Betty. The ladies can follow along with the services while taking care of Betty, and then on Wednesdays I stay home with her.

I took her back to the doctor last Wednesday and was told that she would have to wear the boot for three more weeks. Betty has lost control of her body functions and is now having trouble swallowing pills. Each Monday and Thursday there is a lady that comes to give her a bath and clean house for me, and then on Thursday a worker from the Alzheimer Center comes and spends six hours with her, giving me time to do whatever I need or want to do. All this help has been very good for the both of us.

I have had the opportunity to preach one time this month here at First Baptist Church where we are members. Last Sunday I tried taking Betty to church and that was a mistake. We stayed through Sunday School, but could not stay for the preaching.

The Lord is still very good to us as we take, not only one day at a time, but one hour at a time.

In His Name,

Bobby D. Creiglow
