Some good news!

 

A different Christmas card!

I was looking at my digi-stamps. Suddenly I thought: There really is no need to have pictures on a Christmas card. Beccy makes so many Christmas texts that are beautiful to look at. These should be able to be a card in themselves.

Jeg sad og kikkede på digi-stamps. Pludselig tænkte jeg: Der behøver egentlig ikke at være billeder på et julekort. Beccy laver så mange juletekster som er smukke at se på. Disse bør være et kort i selv.

Finally - There is only good news in this update!

Lars has more energy than his has had in a very long time. This means he can do a little more, and wants to do more. He doesn't sleep as much - it's just so lovely.

Saturday evening he said: I want to go to church tomorrow. Can we do it? Of course!  It has been over a year since he last went to church. 

I felt so grateful to be able to sit next to him in church. After church, many members came and greeted  him. His eyes shone more and more.

When we got home he had lunch, but only ate a little - then he slept for 2 hours. It had taken a lot of effort to go to church. But never mind! He went to church, that's what mattered.

Lars has been to several tests in the past week, and all of them have shown a kind of "standstill". I will choose stagnation over deterioration at all times.

Thank you for joining us on our journey. We are really happy to be able to come up with a more positive update this time.

Der er kun gode nyheder i denne opdatering - endelig.

Lars har mere energi, end hans meget længe har haft. Det betyder han kan lidt mere, og gerne vil mere. Han sover ikke så meget - det er bare så dejlig.

Lørdag aften sagde han: Jeg vil gerne i kirke i morgen. Kan vi det? Selvfølgelig!  Det er over et år siden han sidst har været i kirke. 

Jeg er så taknemmelig for at kunne sidde ved siden af ham i kirken. Efter kirken kom mange hen og hilste på ham. Hans øjne strålede mere og mere.

Da vi kom hjem spiste han lidt - og sov 2 timer. Det havde taget mange kræfter at tage afsted. Men pyt! Han kom i kirke, det var det som betød noget.

Lars har været til flere prøver i den uge som er gået, og alle har vist stilstand. Jeg vil til enhver tid vælge stilstand frem for forværring.

Tak fordi I følger med i vores rejse. Vi er rigtig glade for at kunne komme med en mere positiv opdatering denne gang.

Look at his smile! He was so happy to be able to go to church.

Se lige hans smil! Han var så glad for at være i kirke.

The first potatos from our garden. Yummi!

Mums! Årets første kartofler fra vores egen lille have.

I wonder how big, our largest potato will be this year. Last year it was 400 gr. There's a long way...

Hvor stor bliver mon den største kartoffel i år! Sidste år var det 400 gr. Der er vist lang ven endnu...

I am in the process of freezing berries from the garden - in portions. It's for Lars' protein drink.

Now that he is not allowed to eat peas etc. anymore, I also make small portions of puree which I freeze. From left: peas/avocado/cream and broth. - cream - strawberry - blackcurrant - currant.

I use a recipe from the hospital. It is very similar to "koldskål".

Jeg er i gang med at fryse bær fra haven ned - i portioner. Det er til Lars' proteindrikke.

Nu hvor han ikke må spise ærter mm mere, så laver jeg også små portioner med pure som jeg nedfryser. Fra venstre: ærter/avocado/fløde og bouillon. - fløde - jordbær - solbær - ribs.

Jeg bruger en opskrift fra sygehuset. Den minder meget om koldskål.
