How is Dave?

....ummmm... errrrrr...ahhhhhhh, I'm going to try this again!!!! Last time I had this post written I lost the whole darn thing to cyberspace...I've been gone a few days trying to find it...but no luck!

Dave is doing so well in some area's, if you are not careful you will miss it. Today his heart was feeling Psalm 13...I sooooo understood, as anyone would, who has been seeking God's face for a long time without an answer. After a long lament the Psalm ends with these two verses;


5 But I trust in your unfailing love;
my heart rejoices in your salvation.
6 I will sing to the LORD,

for he has been good to me.


Dave is experiencing decreased mobility in his arms/hands. He is finding it difficult to maneuver his wheelchair. This of course, is very frustrating for Dave. It also limits his mobility in a huge way. He does not feel confident to be around crowds and maneuvering into the van has become a very difficult task. The solution is a new wheelchair. The ALS people are working on it, but the wheels turn slowly. Please pray with us...Dave's speech is still good, it takes a little more effort on his part and better listening on our part, but we are so thankful for his voice.

Dave now has a laptop. He would love to hear from you. His answers will be short, but his appreciation deep!

Hi Shanni and Dave,
I found you again, so glad. Maureen Scott sent me your link. Sounds like God is holding you together. So glad to hear the kids are doing well.
As always, and I do mean always, I continue to hold you in my prayers each and every day.
Bless you all, Love you forever...Philippa

Shani & Dave!
I do not know what to say! We are shocked and heartsick at what you are having to deal with. God bless you and your whole family! I hope you remember us from 716 Trudeau Drive in Milton! We have had a tough 10 years keeping a float and have moved several times. After both of us being laid off we just sold our home in Ajax (in 1 week :) and are selling most of our belongings and are heading out west to try our luck. We thought of you and decided to look you up and found this site. Shani you have never looked more gorgeous! Our thoughts & prayers are with you all! Love Cathy & Rory McLeod
