Quick Molly Update: Molly has been doing a little better lately. She is even starting to sleep on her own (without meds). It's not every night, but it's getting better. When she sleeps well her Chiari symptoms seem to be significantly better the next day. When she sleeps poorly, her Chiari symtoms get all jacked up. She still isn't sleeping deeply and consistently, but things are headed in a better direction. We are going to her neurologist (not neurosurgeon) today to ask about the sleep issue. Hopefully he will have some insights. Thanks for your continued prayers for my wife and family.
Here's the Advent devotional my family is using (via). We are also using selections from the excellent Come, Thou Long-Expected Jesus: Experiencing the Peace and Promise of Christmas.
