I have once again been a delinquent blogger. I want to blog, but I just don't seem to find the time. I have been teaching my usual fall class and it takes a lot of time aside from just the regular day to day obligations. The final is next week so after that I should be a little less tied down.
So much has happened since I last blogged, too much to catch up. Of course the BIGGEST news is that we are going to be blessed with another grandchild. Daniel and Mandi are expecting their first baby on May 10th. To say we are excited would be an understatement. Please pray for them and pray for the sweet baby that it will be born healthy and happy. It seems kind of surreal to think of my "baby" having a "baby"!
Katie and Josh are in Houston as I type this entry. Katie's mom, Connie, had surgery on Tuesday. Everything went well, but it was a major surgery lasting about 9 hours. I am glad the kids have been able to go and to see her. She is going to be in the hospital several weeks and then some more time in Houston before she goes home. Also, Katie's brother and sister-in-law had their twin girls last week. Maggie and Sophie were not due until later in November, so they arrived pretty early. They weighed 3-4 and 3-12 but they have had some problems with brain bleeds. At first it seemed one of the bleeds was very serious and that one was not quite as serious- then they were told that the most serious bleed was not as bad as originally thought but the less serious bleed was more serious. Talk about a roller coaster ride. Then, thank God, they were told at the end of this week that they felt the bleeds were probably not going to be a serious issue! One of the girls had a heart issue that they were told would require surgery- they did a scan yesterday and guess what- it appears to be healing on its own! Answered prayers for certain. Please continue to pray for them.
Addi seems to be feeling a lot better. She still has a headache, but apparently some of her meds had made her quit eating and become very sluggish. Kim decreased the dosage and she is much better. She had lost a lot of weight, but today she ate really well and has already picked a little of what she had lost back up-weight loss like that is not what anyone wants! She is going to the pain clinic this Thursday so we will see what they have to offer. I will be glad when her doctor gets back to America in December!
Thankfully we are seeing some cooler weather, and we have certainly been enjoying football Saturdays! War Eagle and Good Night to All!
