Craig is doing okay. He continues to have a very bad headache, a black eye that is nearly swollen shut, and his nose is so painful, it is difficult for him to chew. He is not one to go to bed when he is ill or injured, so the fact that he did so yesterday was very telling to me that he was really feeling poorly.
Our kids have jumped in to help us out - Sarah sent us six different kinds of soups from Panera that will make it much easer for Craig to eat. She also sent a big container of animal-safe Ice Melt. Apparently you can put it on the blood stains, let it melt, then put it on them again and they will disappear. That was delivered late last night so I will start that process this morning.
Lisa fixed a yummy dinner for us last night, and Curt and his crew joined us for dinner. We played Rudolph Bingo at Lukie's request and then Bank. Unfortunately Curt inherited his mama's back, poor guy, and recently injured it and is not able to lift or do much, but he will help out as much as he can.
And we did a family Zoom and got to chat with our other kids, too. Building on Craig's love of wearing Crocs, they were teasing him about getting the Croc snowplow attachment in order to keep him safe:
I laughed almost until I cried, and Craig thought they were pretty funny, too. I would not be surprised if a box of Crocs snowplows arrives here soon. And my guess is that more than one of our kids will order themselves a pair, too!
(I sort of want a pair, and I don't even own any Crocs!)
Thanks so much for the prayers, good thoughts, and well wishes. They have been much appreciated and mean a lot to us and our family.
