Well, things have taken a twist. For the last 3 Sunday a.m.'s, when I would help Preston with his clothes for church, he would get agitated and start attacking me. It was because he was tired. So Missie and I went on, and he stayed home and Jr. stayed with him. After Missie and I left, Preston laid down and slept 2 1/2 more hours. So for right now, he won't be attending SS or morning worship. He hates to miss, but he realizes it is better for him, at least while we are working on his medication. He sleeps almost every a.m. after breakfast. The dr. hoped he would get over the extreme sleepiness as times goes on. We will see. It is a day by day thing with Preston. One day at a time is the only way to live. We take the good times as they come and the bad times as well. The outbursts and attacks are much fewer so we are thankful for that. He was able to go to church tonight and to the fellowship hall afterwards. But we left quite early because it was very noisy in there and it had been rainy outside. He usually goes out and sits on the step but it was too wet. But it was fine with me to come home. We were all about done anyhow. We have to just keep his stress level as low as possible, and everyone is happier.

My mouth is still bothering me. I have big bumps under my upper lip and it feels awful. There are pieces of bone or tooth coming through. I was able to get one piece out with tweezers. I can't wait for my mouth to heal. What an ordeal, but a lady at church tonight told me my dentures look nice!!! It is nice to have a nice smile again, and not be self conscious about my teeth. It just takes time.

Missie attended the nursing home service today and enjoyed it. The older people love her and she loves them. She has a heart for them. I am glad she goes with Wesley and Felicia Wilson to these services. There are 2 each month. She loves to sing too, and has a good voice, so many at church love to hear her sing.

Well, that is my update for today,

Norma
