There was another little setback in the Fredrickson household with my husband’s recovery from his stroke. He went into the hospital last Friday with severe pain from shingles. This has certainly been a medical education for us. I had no idea how much pain could be incurred by some little bumps on your back and mid section. He is much better and will probably be at home by the time this column is being read- at least I hope so.

Thanks to everyone for your support and prayers for us through all these past few months. We are looking forward to more good recovery time.
