<DIV>Hello again, Dear Mike,</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>We read your recent e-mail with sober concern, but also, as this is
Pentecost Sunday, with radical hope in the amazing power of the Spirit that
lives within each of us, and especially is manifest in your family and
your church community at this time.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>We hold your whole family in our hearts and name you (and especially
Judith) in the prayers of our rural Maine community of
faith.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>In appreciation for so many profound moments shared with you --
Bananeiras, Atlanta, etc., etc.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Grace, peace and love,</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Marilyn and Joe</DIV>

thank you for all the wonderful emails and cards you have sent since hearing
of Judith's fall and subsequent hospitalization. I can't stress more
strongly how much they have meant to her and to me. to hear from so many folks
from all eras of our life.</SPAN><SPAN

style="FONT-FAMILY: Arial; COLOR: black; FONT-SIZE: 13.5pt">I wish I could
have a more encouraging note to send, but Judith is back in the hospital as of
last Wednesday. She had been in <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:PlaceName
w:st="on">Surrey</st1:PlaceName> <st1:PlaceName
w:st="on">Place</st1:PlaceName> <st1:PlaceName w:st="on">Rehab</st1:PlaceName>
<st1:PlaceType w:st="on">Center</st1:PlaceType></st1:place> since April
17th. they attempted to do as much occupational and physical therapy as
possible, but she continued to have severe pains in the left leg that was
broken just below the top of the femur. That really limited what they
could accomplish, and she didn't make much progress. A bunch of other
complications set in, particularly a urine infection, bad
dehydration and undernourishment due to her total lack of
appetite.</SPAN><SPAN

<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class=MsoNormal><SPAN
style="FONT-FAMILY: Arial; COLOR: black; FONT-SIZE: 13.5pt">Anyway, she was
readmitted to the hospital for more medical care than was possible
at the rehab facility. She is quite disabled, and certainly needs all
the good vibes and prayers that can come her way.</SPAN><SPAN

doing well, and we have wonderful caregivers that take good care of both of
us, (even though we hire them to only take care of Meg.) As I have
mentioned previously, our wonderful church community also cares so well for
us.</SPAN><SPAN
