A Shower and A Meal

How refreshing to be given a shower and a meal! Dad is venturing into the exciting world of showers, chicken broth, jello and popsicles. Mom refused to let him drink the tea - lukewarm and not to McClellan tea standards. She's promised to bring him real tea if he is interested (he's not!) Now comes the work because his nurse is going to make him sit up in a chair and take walks...no more laying around - it's time for active healing and we're thrilled.

Dear Right (Left) Reverend McC,
It is good to hear that you are clean again! I recommend red popsicles and jello - the electoral college map notwithstanding. JJFKJ

No, I did not write that first post however many days ago it was. And yes, I do continue to be amused and astonished by the idea of it.

Jello and chicken broth sounds downright epicurean...although I'm certain the best part was the shower! Hmm, maybe when your dad is fully mended the McClellans should have popsicles and rainshowers in someplace tropical! That would be the perfect reward!!

Our prayers for a speedy recovery are with you Donel.

Love,

Brent & Gen Guinn

There is no place like home, except how far it is from the hospital where a "call" can bring a nurse to take care of your need. Marilyn, after the first week, let him do it himself! However, Don, we are rejoicing in your progress!!!Lovingly, E.Crane
