Medical Update

After two months of diet and exercise, the numbers are in. Sugar is down from 150 to 89, cholesterol down from 215 to 163, triglycerides from 193 to 59, blood pressure down to 110/70, and weight down more than 20 pounds. The Lord has been good in allowing me to get a handle on these issues in just two months. A bit more work is needed in the proportion of HDL to LDL cholesterol, but continued work should bring this in line as well. Maintaining these numbers will also be a challenge.
I began the new year with a nasty cold, and now Teresa has it as well. Hopefully, the rest of the year will be clear of such sickness. We'll be extremely busy preparing for furlough in the next few months and then the furlough begins. I have begun scheduling meetings, but the progress is slow. Pray with us. The folks at church are concerned and praying that the Lord will prosper our journey so we won't have to be gone the whole year. It's nice to know we will be missed.
