Now Isn't This a Beautiful Family?

Good genes!!!

You Begged.....Here's an Update

Warren is slowly getting better. He had the stitches out yesterday and his incisions look great. He has adjusted to his new eating habits really well. In fact, sometimes he has a hard time getting it all down!

He is not craving anything which is amazing. He is almost ready for the transition from liquids to soft foods. I think that will be a very nice change.

He still has pain in his hips, knees and feet. It is getting better but he still lacks the strength to stand up on his own so he uses our lovely wench to help him get up to the porta potty and to another chair.

There are days when he feels downhearted and tired but he knows where his strength comes from and he is trusting in Him. We have been blessed with so many friends and their prayers. I do not know how anyone gets through difficult times without God and friends.

Thank you SO much. Thanks for your prayers, your caring and your friendship.

PFFFTTTT!!!!!

(Just so you know, that is NOT her tongue....it belongs to Mr. Potato Head!!!)

This and That.......

Recently I reconnected with several high school friends through FaceBook. It has been SO much fun see what has been going on in their lives since we all graduated.

Two of the people I 'found' were high school sweethearts and married and are STILL married.
They sent these pictures to me from high school.

In this first one I am on the far left. My friends, Elaine and Debbie are the next two (not counting the person I am covering with my hand. I have NO idea where we were or what we were doing!!







Here I am with another Debbie. I think we were doing some stupid dance. Oh, the freedom of youth!!









This picture was taken in Miami, Florida while attending the FBLA National Convention. Believe it or not, I am pictured here with yet another friend named Debbie!!! That was a popular name.

I remember those red pants and that blouse. I remember the hotel room and the fun we had. That's all I'm saying!!!





UPDATE ON HUBBY: We had a PT here yesterday and she gave him some exercises to do. After working with her yesterday he seems to have better mobility this morning. His swelling is going down and his need for pain meds has decreased some. He still has a way to go but at least we are moving in the right direction!

God has been so very gracious to us and has blessed us beyond measure. Your prayers have been a great part of that. Thank you and I would appreciate your continued prayers.

HOME!!

Home......what a beautiful word. After a week in the hospital the word 'home' became a reality.

My DH was brought home in an ambulance.....just because they could get him into the house easier than I could. They placed him in his chair at 3:30pm yesterday. THE EAGLE HAS LANDED!!!

We still are working on back pain issues but that has been greatly relieved by getting out of the hospital bed.

The road ahead will be long and I am sure there will be some rough patches along the way but we are ready for the journey.

Thank you all SO much for your support, kindness and prayers.
