Dad has always said, “I’m not too bad for the shape I’m in.” In the United States, the average life span is 3 score and 10. (70 years) 70 > is BONUS! Fast approaching 80, dad feels blessed to seemingly have weathered a bout with pneumonia. He is not ‘out of the woods’ just yet, but he is beginning to feel better. He has lost approximately 40 lbs. in the past 3 months. (He always wanted to get his weight under control, I just don’t think this is the way he planned to do it.) He is still able to get around the house and an occasional trip to the doctor’s office. (although a little shaky and with a walker). All in all, he is on the mend and hopeful to be back on his feet to continue to be a blessing and minister to those he comes in contact with.
Thank you on behalf of the Barton Family for your thoughts and prayers during his illness. Continue to keep him in your prayers for his recovery, renewed energy, and strength.
