Big T and TG Christmas morning

well I don't have much to report. Things have been dull and lazy (not that I am complaining!!!) I have enjoyed every minute of it.... I just wanted to share these pictures with you.

I wish each of you a very safe and happy new year!

thankful

I am so thankful for the birth of our precious Lord! I pray that each of you had a wonderful time with you families.......

TG and Big T were both very happy and I am so thankful that hubby is alive and getting better.... thank you Lord for all your blessings!

Special day

Today was wonderful... I honestly didn't think I would have time to blog until after Christmas but I find myself not sleepy and peacefully pondering on the days events. Hubby, the kids, and myself set out to meet my wonderful mother, father, and sister in law (and a good friend of hers) for lunch. We had a great time :) Next everyone came back to our house to open gifts. The kids were so fun! We had a great time taking pictures... I will try to get some posted soon even though my mother in law will kill me if she sees a picture of her on here.... sorry granny I love you!!!!! I am so thankful that the Lord blessed me with them.

After a short rest it was time to head to Fort Payne to exchanged gifts and eat with my mom and grandma jo. Oh what fun...... my 81 year old grandma jo is so funny!!!!! Everyone was excited about their gifts and thankful for them. We went to eat Santa Fe and then parted ways for the night.

I had to brave the masses of Walmart to pick up hubby's blood pressure medicine... now that is what I call love!!!! :) I have never been one to wait to shop this close to Christmas and I try my best to stay clear of those that are out and about.... it is just better for my temper LOL :)

Tomorrow my uncle, aunt, and cousins are coming to my house for Christmas. I haven't seen some of them in quite sometime so I am thankful we are getting this time together.

I wish each of you a very Merry CHRISTmas.

yeah!

ok first I am thankful for my job and the opportunity to be out with my children during this time of year! Also, even though I wish hubby had not been injured it is nice to have him home with us this year! I also must say that I am COMPLETELY done with my shopping (yes even stockings!) Everything is even wrapped!!!!!! Man I am tired, but so glad to be done....... hubby gave moral support :)

I am now about to start my next task.... making baby diaper cakes for my sweet cousin Carissa's baby shower in January! They are the cutest things... I will post some pictures after the shower. Carissa is right at 7 months and we are so excited about our next baby girl to join the family. I haven't been able to go see Farrah and Ava lately due to either me or the kids being sick. Not major sick but enough to where I wouldn't dare go around baby Ava with any symptoms! She is just to tiny and precious! I hope to get some pics of her on here also.

Hubby is doing so fantastic on his walking!!!!!! PRAISE THE LORD FOR HIS BLESSINGS AND HEALING!!!!! Hubby picked him out a cane to use instead of that bulky walker and he is doing great with it... thanks for your prayers! :):):)

I am looking forward to this upcoming week of spending time with my mother, father, and sister in law..... not that I am not looking forward to spending time with my family, but we don't get to see hubby's family as much because they live about and hour and a half away.

My mom and TG's Nana gave me and hubby a nice break today.... they have the kids (which the kids just love) TG was so funny this morning. As you that have kids that go to school know that just because it is Saturday the internal "school time" clock doesn't change. TG was up at her usual 6:30 am. She was so excited to go see her Nana and Jonathan (her brother) that she got up and put on her clothes and went to wake Big T up and asked him if he would put her hair in a pony tail! How sweet is that!!!! :):) Big T wasn't that happy about her waking him up( he is hitting that teenage sleep a little later mode). Also, he has no clue how to do a pony tail. Being the sweet (only when he wants to be) big brother he tried and tried and bless his heart tried. Finally I got up and came into her room to make sure I had everything packed and I saw him trying so hard on her hair. I got her hair fixed and she sat looking out the window so excited! She loves her Nana time :):) I am so glad she has such wonderful grandmothers in her life. She is such a lucky little girl! Big T went to my moms aka Grammy and if you know my mom you know he is in heaven just like TG is at her Nana's. But hey that is what makes going to grandparents houses so fun right? I know it was that was for me... still is actually.... LOL I love my grandma Jo and I am so thankful to still have her!

Well I have rambled enough....

Merry CHRISTmas.... love to all

doctor update

well no more surgery for hubby as of right now. The hand specialist gave us certain exercises to do and told us we had to wait at least 6 months before we think about having to do any more surgery. He said that this injury was serious and that it is going to take a good while for healing. Because they had to sew his ligament back together it is very swollen and that pushes on the nerves in his hand and fingers. The doctor hurt him as he pushed and turned hubby's wrist... hubby came up out of his chair! He was not a happy camper! As for walking hubby is doing amazing!!!!!!! I am so proud of him. Please keep the prayers coming.... Praise the Lord for His healing touch.

Amazing event

God is simply amazing ... well you already knew that but this story is a true testament of how the Lord blesses those that love Him!

As I told you guys in earlier post my grandmother is having to move out of her assisted care b/c she can't get assistance from the veterans.... that is silly but would take another post! So she is moving back to the apartments with my mom (they fixed hers since the fire.) This means we need boxes. Well mom hasn't had any luck finding any and we are moving her this weekend. So as mom was on her way from a school back to her office today she began to pray about needing the boxes and asking the Lord for help. She was so into her pray that she wasn't paying attention to what was in front of her. As she focused she saw the truck that was in front of her and all of the sudden (in the middle of her pray) things started to fly out of the back of the truck. As mom tried to dodge the items she saw that the "items" were broken down boxes!!!!! WOW the Lord is AWESOME! She thanked the Lord (with a slight laugh) and pulled over and began to collect the boxes. When she got to work she found a stack of empty boxes waiting to be thrown away! So her box issue has been taken care. I know some may think that this was not something worth praying for.... how often do we think that about things in our life? things that we think are only important to us are important GOD! Funny how it takes me writing this stuff down for it to sink in and me to listen. God wants whats best for us so why not bring everything to the Lord? Why do we let the world tell us what we should and should not pray for..... I just know that the Lord says to bring your cares to Him and He will give you rest! I am so thankful for His love and mercy!

Hubby is doing well on his walking. He is able to shower and dress himself and fix small things to eat. I am so proud of him!!! Thanks for your prayers and please keep them coming. We go to the hand specialist Thursday.... please remember him that day!

Have I mentioned how much I love all of you! I am so thankful for the comments and emails I get from all of you. Keep them coming I NEED THEM! Sometimes with how busy life is this is the only way I feel connected to my friends. I often find myself wishing things would go back to the way they were when I was a kid. You know when weekends were spent with family and friends. Back when people actually went to each others house and spent time with each other. It is to the point that everyone is so busy and run to death during the week that by the time the weekend comes most have to stay at home all do all of the other things they didn't get to take care of during the week! I hope to be a better friend and visit and do for others more this upcoming year.

Love to all

about me time

I finally just broke down Saturday! It would have been my precious grandfathers 83 rd birthday.... I miss him so much. My emotions are shot and I just wanted to go out and do something and not have to cook, clean, or really "take care" of anything. I just wanted to do something because "I" wanted to. Selfish you say, well yes you are correct. But I must say that I deserve just a few minutes to be selfish or I am going to completely go insane! Don't get me wrong I am so thankful that I have my hubby and kids and hubby is getting better and tries to do all he can, but between going back to work and having to deal with that stress and then coming home and having( but mostly wanting ) to take good care of everything there I am drained! So hubby said we could go out wherever I wanted to and do whatever I wanted to..... :) and that we did! It was wonderful and I feel so much better.. crazy I know but I just needed it!



I am still trying to deal with the guilt of not being home to help hubby, however I must say way to go to him b/c he has really started to be able to take care of himself and that makes me feel better. My kids are amazing...... I knew they were but throughout this situation I see it so much more. Anything I ask them to help me with or do they are quick to say yes ma'am and get right on it! Thank you Lord for Big T and TG. They are a true blessing. Hubby has been walking great with his walker. It is hard for him to get around at the house because our doorways are not wide enough so he has to turn the walker sideways and that makes thing more difficult. He has been using his walker anytime we go somewhere... GREAT JOB BABY I AM SO PROUD OF YOU!!!!!!
We go to the specialist on this Thursday to have his hand looked at. We know that something else needs to be to it, we just do not know to what extent.

Big T is growing up so fast..... he is such a cutie and those big baby blue eyes... well you know what I mean! He has been mentioning a certain "friend" of the opposite sex a good bit. But as he informs me everyday SHE IS JUST HIS FRIEND..... lol got to love it! I gave him a hard time about it.......he needed a present to take to school so we got a gift card to Walmart. But amazingly we had to get another one last night because he wants to give his girl "friend" a present also...... sounds like he is sweet on her to me!!!!!! LOL he wouldn't admit it for the world! TOO SWEET!

I must admit that I am not really looking forward to going back to work this week... my coming back has worn off and my kids were horrible on Thursday and Friday of last week!!! I told them to go home and find my sweet babies and make sure they came to school next week! LOL I know they are excited about Christmas and I can't blame them. I just see the bigger picture and it worries me. I have (for the first time in my teaching career) 2 that are failing more than more subject! It hurts me to the bone, but I can't MAKE anyone learn. They have to want to and right now they just don't want to..... I have some others that are failing at least one subject.... I just don't understand why they have fallen off the deep end! Worst part is they just don't care.... I have tried talking to them to see what I need to do to help them but they just shut down and don't care! No fun :( Hopefully this week will go by without any major issues!

I wish each one of you a wonderful CHIRSTmas. My love to all........

What a day

well the day started off very interesting..... when I got to work ( Moon Lake School) the principal informed everyone that we all ( yes the entire school) had to go to the gym until otherwise instructed. The main building smelled of gas something terrible! When you walked by it would take your breath! As we sat there trying to keep things somewhat under control with the kids in the gym the other teachers and I'm thinking that if there is a gas leak---- shouldn't we be further away than the gym just in case something happened? Well we sat in the gym from 7:20 until 8:45.... as some of the teachers/parents called to speak to the superintendent our calls were not taken! voice mail after voice mail!!!!! He never even bothered to come to make sure everything was ok. I guess we have to get blown up for something to be taken seriously at our school.

well thanks the our precious Lord we were kept safe, but man what a headache from the smell!


Hubby is really wishing his hand didn't hurt. I ask for your prayers that things will go well when we see the specialist next Thursday.

doctor update

Hello all,

We got the ok to get going on the walking. Hopefully the "good" foot will hold out! As for the right wrist..... well he is going to have to go to a specialist next week.... :( no fun. He isn't able to bend his thumb and still can't bend his wrist back at all. I ask for your prayers.... we are thinking he might have to have surgery again. I will keep you all posted........

have a blessed week!

I made it!

I made through my first week back to work since hubby's accident. The first day was the most difficult. I felt like I abandoned hubby... I worried constantly, but he made it. I have begun to not worry so much, but simply just miss him!!!!!!!!!!

My students have been simply perfect! I am so thankful to the Lord for blessing me this year with such an amazing group.

I want to thank a few people at work for being so understanding and helpful. Thank you Nancy, Jennifer, Karen Saferite, Martha, Tonya, and Bunch..... you guys are great!

Thank you all for your prayers..... I have to take hubby back to the doctor on Monday.... Keep us in your prayers for good results!

love to all

SNOW DAY!

We were all so excited to wake up to the beautiful snow... but most happy when school was closed!!! Sad part is today would have been my first day back since the accident.... I can't say that I was really sad..... ecstatic would be a better way to describe it! LOL I just can't seem to get motivated to go back. I am constantly wondering if hubby is ok and is he able to get what he needs..... the stress is getting to me!!!!!!

I hope everyone was able to get out and enjoy this snow day! Hopefully we will have more.

On another note: I am completely finished Christmas shopping.... yes even stockings!!!!! I am so excited that part is over and all I have to do is set back and enjoy this beautiful season.

If any of you know anyone that has a house (at least 3 bedrooms) for rent please let me know. My mom and Grandmother need one ASAP!!!

I am so thankful for all the Lord has done for me, this year especially. Thanksgiving was very special. I teared up just thinking that had the Lord not protected hubby that I could have not had him! Thank you sweet Jesus!!!!!

love to all

when it rains it pours

on top of trying to get hubby to where he can make it without a total struggle when I go back to work Monday my mom's apartment building caught fire Friday night about 11:00. It started on the other side and she just had mild smoke in hers but they are not letting anyone back in until at least Tuesday, if the fire inspector says the electric work is ok. So mom and her two cats, yes you read correctly two cats, are having to stay at my house. So that makes a total of four cats and one dog along with hubby, myself, mom, TG, and Big T...... fun fun!!!! Really I wouldn't want it any other way!

My grandma Jo has been living in an assisted care place in Ft Payne since September. She really couldn't afford it but they kept telling her she would be able to receive some veteran funds from my grandfather even though he past away. WELL THEY WERE WRONG! My grandmother received a letter today stating that she is not eligible. So guess what... that means she has to find somewhere to live that is cheaper. I think mom has just decided to find a house to rent and she and grandma jo will just share it...... please pray that we can find them some place to live and some people to help pack and move them. Christmas time is so close and everyone is busy.... We really need your prayers.

On a good note though hubby did walk some today........ I am so proud of him!

Insurance????

Sometimes I wonder why we even bother having insurance, but then again I a very thankful for it..... Hubby is just really having a difficult time trying to walk again. Both ankles hurt badly and his legs hurt after he tries to walk. He wants to walk so bad that he is pushing himself too far, but I no matter how hard I try he will do what he wants.... :( anyone with a husband knows exactly what I mean!!!!!!! The home health PT guy came by and pretty much told us the insurance will not pay for it anymore. I will not be able to take him when I go back to work. Hubby knows the exercises and is very determined to get better, but I just felt better knowing someone else was coming to help him........

I just love him so much it is just killing me to see him in pain and so desperate to regain some sort of "normal" in his life. He is just miserable sitting a home not being able to do anything. It is so hard to believe the wreck was September 29th! Some days it feels like it has been forever, but most days it seems like just yesterday.... or at least emotional it seems like yesterday. I have realized over the past few days just how much this has changed me as a person. My emotional state is nothing like it was... I am not sure how good or bad that it is LOL. I can honestly say I am a completely different person!!!! I just haven't figured out how to deal with that person. I know that doesn't make any sense to all of you, but I just don't know how else to explain it. I just don't feel like "me" anymore. I have become a different "me". I don't want others to be offended or think I am being mean or stop liking me because of my decisions and thinking on things, but unfortunately some have. Especially those I work with and some that I am sad to say "were" my friends. Hubby and I have had to make some very difficult decisions that haven't made others happy and others don't understand why, but we do and we did what God directed us to do. I ask for your prayers that I will be strong and understanding for hubby. I just want to cry most of the time. Some days I just can't bare the thought of having to get up and face the day. Then I roll over and see my miracle beside me in bed and realize quickly how blessed and thankful I am. Even though I cry at the drop of a hat! I can honestly finally admit that I hate what happened to my family. I wish it never happened! I am mad about it, but being mad doesn't and will not get me anywhere. I just feel like I am walking through this cloud and I just can't find and opening. Please pray for me.

I am going back to work Monday, December 1st. I don't know how I will be able to handle it, but I know that God will be there each step of the way. Please pray for hubby as this will all on his on (which he is still not independent, but I can't afford to take anymore time off due to bills and other things). I hate that I am having to leave him knowing he will struggle all day alone. It just breaks my heart and makes me feel like I am abandoning him.... :(:(:(:(

Thank you for letting me vent! I hope to write about good news next time....

I wish each of you a wonderful Thanksgiving. We all have so much to be thankful for.......

To my sweet friend Karri- You mom is smiling so big because she knows how wonderful you are going to make this Thanksgiving..... You are just like her! :)


I love you all

uggggggg!

hubby had a very bad night. He didn't rest well at all. His ankles, yes both of them, are hurting him very much. He had PT again today but didn't do any walking. He is not getting to try walking again for a couple of days. Hopefully the rest will help his ankles to get better. I ask for your prayers for him. I am supposed to go back to work soon and I am so worried. I am trying to stay strong, but knowing that I am going to have to leave him all day long by himself scares me. I know he has a difficult time getting around with his walker. He still has to use the wheelchair. That will be the only way he will be able to get into the kitchen to get something to eat. I just don't really know how he is going to get the food back to his seat to eat it!!!! Please pray!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

TG is not feeling well and has a terrible cough and rattle in her chest. I am going to have to take her to the doctor tomorrow. Please pray for her to feel better soon and for me to tae good care of her.

PT and dread of work

well in the words of my hubby "therapy suxs, hurts, and I don't stretch far enough!"

So that should answer your question of how he is doing..... LOL

Big T is very happy and enjoying Ider very much. I am very happy for him!

Have I mentioned how I am so not Betty Crocker or Ms. Susie homemaker? LOL

I have never really minded cooking, it is the cleaning up part I can't stand... and let me tell you I learned to cook from my grandma Jo and we dirty every dish in the house when we cook! Hubby is a great cook and one that keeps things very clean as he goes...... man I will be glad when he can get back to the cooking...LOL

Actually I will just be glad for our lives to get back to something similar to what they were before the accident. I am scheduled to go back to work on Monday, December 1st. No, I am not really looking forward to it.... I am not sure if it is just me trying to deal with my emotions about how our lives have been changed or what but I have no desire to teach...... I just feel so out of place and can't seem to focus. My thoughts are consumed with my family and hubby. I also dread having to deal with the stress of the students and parents. There have apparently been some that have had problems during my absence and of course people are running their mouths and we all know how that goes......... so I am sure there will be much to deal with upon my return and I am not emotional ready to deal with it at all!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! But by the grace of God I know I will make it. I ask for your prayers for a smooth return.

update

Just wanted to let everyone know that hubby walked with his walker yesterday and put some weight on his foot! It was painful but he did great! Thank you all so much for your prayers, please keep them coming! The wrist is healing, still sore and stiff though.

I have posted some updated pictures of his injuries. Believe it or not they look great, or so the doctor says.... lol

first sleep over

TG went to her first sleep over at her friends house. I handled it pretty well I think.... man I just never thought I would be the kind of parent that would not "cut the cord", but I have realized I AM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :( I am getting better slowly but surely...... LOL

TG had a great time. Her friend L's mom went all out for the birthday party. TG stayed up later than she has ever stayed up in her life.... 11:45..... I couldnt believe it! The girls played and bobbed for apples, busted an pinata, played babies and barbies and so on....

Big T, hubby, and I had a nice peaceful night just hanging out watching TV and laughing and talking... it was great!

Hubby is feeling better. He has started trying to do a little more with his right hand. Still not able to really put weight on the right foot...a but we are getting there...

Glad my sweet friend Karri is home from gallbladder surgery and is doing well.... please keep her in your prayers.

Farrah and baby Ava are doing great! Thank you for your prayers! I will post some new pics soon.....

Passing of an amazing woman

Just wanted to let everyone know that Pauline Jolley, Grandma Jolley as I knew her, passed away at the age of 100 today around 3:00 p.m. Visitation will be from 12:00-9:00 and the funeral will be Saturday at 11:00. Cornerstone will be in charge of the arrangements.

Please keep the Jolley family in your prayers.

Doctor appointment

I just realized that I got so caught up in baby Ava that I completely forgot to tell you about how the doctor appointment went for hubby.....

He got the fixator out of his arm.. the nurse came in with an allen wrench and pair of pliers and took it off. NO FUN!!! They just unscrewed it from his arm. NO pain meds or anything! Hubby didn't care much for it at all!!!! :(

Doc said his foot was looking better, to me it is still nasty and I feel like it needs more care, but doc assured me that is what it is supposed to look like as it heals.

Hubby gets to begin working his wrist- slowly and gets to begin trying to walk again a little bit with his walker putting a little weight on his right foot.

So all in all we were very happy with what happened. No comes the difficult part.... starting to move as normal again. The pain in his arm has been very bad today and pain meds just don't help. The holes in his arms really hurt. I will post some new pics when I clean it again. It looks like he has been bitten by a snake two times... LOL

Thanks to everyone for the prayers. We still have a ways to go in healing, but we are getting there.

Farrah and Ava are doing great today. They are supposed to be home after lunch tomorrow. Keep them in your prayers!

Also, please pray for my friend Karri- she has got to have surgery and my friends Deedra and Kyle in the loss of their grandfather.

love to all

Ava is here!

Ava Meshon Cochran

6 pounds 11 ounces

19 1/2 inches long

Farrah and baby are doing great! She is simply breathtaking!

baby time

well Bridgett and I are off the the hospital. Carissa called and said my cousin Farrah is finally at 7 cent. and hopefully we will have baby Ava sometime tonight.... pray for Farrah she has been in a great deal of pain and is so tired....

love to all

prayers please

ok so my cousin Farrah is in the hospital to have baby Ava!!!!! PLEASE PRAY for her to have an easy labor and smooth delivery and for mom and baby to be safe and healthy. I will let you know when she gets here! :):):):)

Today was Big T's first day at Ider! I dropped him off this morning.He was so excited and of course I was nervous....... why is it so hard to let your kids experience life on their own? Many times I wish I had never gone into teaching and had no idea what things were like. I think that might make things easier....... I just see so much and have to deal with so much that it makes me want to shelter my children, but I also know that hubby and I have done everything we can to instill values and morals in our children. I know that the only way to prepare them for the real world is to let them experience things for themselves and for us to be there to help guide and trust the Lord to keep them safe. I just know what an amazing kid Big T is.......... but I also know as his mother and as one of his past teachers that he has some real "dumb" moments! I just know how people (unfortunately) judge quickly and very seldom change their opinion. Big T was so sick of being my "adopted son that had such a horrible life until I got him" and then moving into "the teachers kid". I know first hand what it means to a "teachers kid". Mom taught at Ider my entire time there..... it wasn't always bad, but it had moments when I just wanted to be a regular kid. I ask that you please pray that others will see the Big T that I know and will be treated as everyone else.

TG had some moments this weekend about school. She got a little upset and wanted to change schools. She so wants to be just like her brother. After we talked she got a little excited about being able to be with me by herself for the rest of this school year when I return to work.

Hubby goes to the doctor in the morning..... he is hoping to get the external fixator out and get the clear to start trying to walk a little on the right foot.

I will let you guys know about Big T's first day and how the doctors appointment for hubby goes.......


have a blessed day!

new events

God has been working and has lead Scott and I to make a change in our family. Big T will start at Ider Monday morning. As most of you know that is where all of my family in the past has gone and I graduated 15 years ago from there... wow 15 years.... :( makes me feel old!

He is excited, I don't go back to work at Moon Lake until December ( hopefully) so hopefully everyone will be over the shock of the change by the time I get back. TG is going to finish her first grade year at Moon Lake. She has one of the greatest teachers and I wanted her to finish with her. She will (if all goes well) have my sweet precious cousin Carissa for 2nd grade next year at Ider. So my family will be back to being Ider Hornet fans!!!! I am excited and hoping to get a transfer there in the next few years. There just haven't been any openings. I ask for your prayers that if Ider is where God would have me to teach to make a way. I know he is in control! Thank goodness I would just make a mess of everything! :)

I talked to my sweet best friends Karri and Jason this evening.... man I miss them. We all have such busy lives, but I love them and I am so thankful for them! Funny how even though we don't get to see or talk to one another often, when we do, it is like time hasn't past!

Hubby is feeling much better. Thank you all so much for your prayers. The Lord is so wonderful and I just want to praise him for the answered prayers and blessings of each day! Hubby has a good bit of movement in his fingers, but can't turn his wrist just yet. The pin, screw, and outside medal bar will have to be moved first. We go back to the Doctor Tuesday. It will be 5 1/2 weeks. We were told that he would only have to wear that outside bar about 6 weeks so we are very hopeful that we can get it out next week or schedule a time to have it done. :)

The foot still looks terrible! Hubby is very hopeful that he will be told next week that he can start to try to walk a little on the foot. His spirits are much higher. We were actually able to go out to a restaurant and eat for the first time since the wreck. That might not seem like much but wow it sure was to us!!!!!!!! We had a great time. We felt like our lives were almost back to normal. :) :) :)

Please remember to pray for my cousin Farrah. She is going in Monday night to be induced to have our precious baby Ava. We are all so excited!!!!! I just can't wait to hold and love on her. TG is just beside herself. She keeps asking me "momma, when is God going to put a baby in your tummy?" I just have to tell her in His time.

I do ask for your prayers about my getting pregnant. I have had a few problems and had to go through testing and medicine. My priority is getting hubby better, but we hope to have a baby and ask for your prayers.

I just love you all and I am so thankful for your blogs and prayers.

Jen

passing time

well hubby and I went to vote today then we went to get some more bandages and other medical supplies. Man that stuff is expensive! The kids at school did a mock election today... TG was so excited! LOL I love that the kids felt involved. I am anxious to see the election results. Things are going to be interesting regardless.

Hubby is getting great movement in his right fingers! :) His right foot is still ugly...lol we go to the doctor Tuesday. I ask for your prayers!

I will post some new pictures of his injuries to show the improvement.

catch up

things have been busy lately... the kids and I haven't felt very well. Hubby is getting better. The left foot is better, not quite as swollen. It still hurts him a little. The new medicine is helping. We go back to the Dr. on Nov. 11th. Dr. is going to let us know when we get the medal bar and screws out of the right arm and hopefully when he can put some weight on the right ankle. That will help things greatly!!! Hubby seemed to be extremely down on Halloween. I know it broke his heart to not be able to go to the trunk or treat with us. :( we all sure missed him. The kids and I loaded up and went to Mentone to the community church and had a great time. All the Churches did a fantastic job. I am so thankful to work in a wonderful loving community. Got to see some of my students and parents so that was nice. The kids and I spent 3 hours at Drs. Med Care Saturday morning (sweet mom came to sit with hubby). The kids were pitiful as was I. Big T had to have a breathing treatment- he has bronchitis, TG has a URI, and I have a sinus infection. So we all came home with medicine and are trying to rest up. Mom and Grandma Jo are coming to eat lunch with us today we are all excited. We love it when the come. We are all missing church..... and look forward to being able to get back to it! I am so thankful for my friends/coworker Wendy Haynes. She has been a life saver. She is a busy mom of three but comes to get my kids for school every morning and brings them home every afternoon, and gets them on Wednesday and some Sundays and takes them to her church.... she is precious! I am thankful for her caring and love for my family.

well you would think I would have more to tell over the past few days.... but we have pretty much been trying to get better.
Thanks for the prayers. Please keep them coming!

better day

Well today has been better. Hubby is feeling better. Still has pain but not as bad. He is able to get into the wheelchair for me to move him from the bed to the recliner. Thank you Jesus for your healing power and blessings!!!!!

Things are slowly getting better :) thank you all for your prayers! Keep them coming!

We have to talk to the ladies insurance company this Friday... no fun! So pray that my hubby can make it through with no issues.

love to all

set back

I had have the ambulance come and get hubby Monday afternoon.... NO FUN!!!! He woke up and could not move or stand on his left foot---aka the good foot!!!! He was screaming in pain.... it was terrible. We were so afraid it was a blood clot so we didn't want to take any chances.

I apologize now if you work or have family that works at Dekalb Regional Hospital. We had the worst Dr. in the world!!!!! He didn't care and would not do anything. He flat out told us we just needed to go to his Dr. in Huntsville and he would give him something for pain but that was it!!!!!!!!!!!! Can you believe that! Hubby and I were beyond mad. He couldn't even get in the wheelchair and they were trying to send us home. It was horrible. We did have a very helpful nurse.. :) she helped us by getting the Ider Rescue Squad to come to the emergency room to get hubby and bring him home. So it took forever this morning but my mom and I finally got hubby ready and in the van to head to Huntsville to the Dr. I just adore his Dr. there... he is wonderful. He did x-rays and checked him out. He has strained/aggravated the nerves and muscles and has to wear a boot on that foot now to support it. :( SO NOW BOTH FEET ARE IN BOOTS. Hubby has a sense of humor about thank goodness. He said he would just go as Frankenstein for Halloween.... LOL I will upload some pictures soon. Bless his sweet heart.

My mother is the most amazing woman in the world. She can straight to the hospital and sat with me and then came home with me and cleaned. She even spent the night and helped me all day today. I just don't know what I would do without her..... I love you mom!!!!!!!

TG's first grade class went to "Down on the Farm" today. I didn't get any pictures but hopefully some of the other friends will send me some and I will put them on here soon. She had a great time, but froze silly......

Big T made the 50 point club in AR reading today.... I am so excited... this is the first time since 2nd grade that he has gotten that many points in the first nine weeks. I am so very proud of him!!!!! He has been reading some really hard books! Way to go Big T!

Big T also started basketball practice. His best friends dad is the coach since hubby had his accident. Big T was worn out when he got home Monday. He said they had to run their rear ends off.... I told him it was good for him. He did great though. He made the most shots of anyone on the team. :) Can you tell I am a proud mom!

Well I must go for now... keep writing comments and new posts... I just love them girls!!!

Daisy

We surprised the kids this morning by getting a beagle to keep outside for them to play with. They have been wanting a dog so bad and we thought after all we had been through lately we would get them one. So this is Daisy.

many random thoughts

First an update on hubby- he is still not resting well. It is funny, but I am glad he snores.... that is the only way I know that he is getting any rest.... how sad is that!!!!! LOL I still haven't reprogrammed my brain to quit getting up every 4 hours. I will wake up ready to take care of him and he will have fallen back to sleep. He wakes up so many different times that we have gotten to be on different schedules. We still can't put any weight on the right ankle. It is looking better- started to get some color back to it and not quite as swollen. His wrist looks as good as to be expected with screws and a medal rod attached to it. He is beginning to be to get good movement in his fingers. Hubby didn't feel to well Friday so he skipped PT. I ask that you pray for him to be able to get some much needed rest. I know that will help him to heal quicker.

To my mother-in-law I hope that your new job is still going well and man I miss you!!!!! Thank you so much for staying at the hospital with me. You will never know how much that meant to me. I love you!

To my mom- wow where to begin.... thank you so much for staying at my house with the kids for that week and taking such wonderful care of them and still finding time to love and take care of me when I just couldn't take anything else. I love you completely!!!!!

I took TG to Walmart for a little girl time. She has been so amazing through all of this to just be 6 years old. I am thankful for her!!!! She helps take care of her daddy so much so I wanted to do something for her. We were picking up a few things at Walmart while mom and Big T were at home with hubby. She asked if we could look at the baby dolls.... of course you all know we have entirely too many baby dolls but I said yes. As we strolled through and I watched her looking and talking I thought about all that she had been through and how much her life has been changed but most of all how helpful and positive she had been through all of this. So I asked her if she could get on of those which one would she pick? She picked a set of twins... go figure. She said they would need lots of taking care of.... :) how sweet!!!!! So you know exactly what I did.... yes I bought my sweet baby girl not one but two more baby dolls!!!!!! She was just beside herself with excitement. She gave them a bath and I helped her dress them and then she and I took turns feeding them.... LOL so much fun!!!!! She is going to make such a great mom one day.


Mom came to the house today to watch hubby and the kids so I could get out of the house. Today was my 81 year old grandmothers aka Grandma Jo class reunion.... OMGoodness what fun!!! So I picked her up and off to Ryans we went.... She looked so pretty all dressed up. I haven't laughed like that in quite sometime. A group of 81 year old are much more fun than I gave them credit for...... after the reunion off to Walmart we go.... of course!!!!!! WE laughed and had such a great time. It was great to be out and about and feel like my life was as it was last month.... but oh how I missed my hubby. You would think he would have been so glad to get rid of me for a while, but as we sat down to eat supper tonight he told me how much he loved me and that he missed me today.... awwwwwwwww Thank you God for this man!!!!! I am so blessed.

anger/forgive

well I haven't really spoken much about the lady that hit my hubby... at first I really didn't think about her b/c all that mattered to me was that I still had him!!!!!

Bless his heart... his nightmares about the accident haunt him in his sleep and I am completely helpless. He really doesn't speak much about the accident.

I must say that today I have completely struggled with what happened to him. I am not sure as to why it just really hit me, but oh has it! I am so angry!!!!!!!!!!!! I just want to cry and scream all at the same time! As the day has past I knew that the only place to get help with this anger was in God's word. I ask for your prayers to help me to control my tongue and anger towards what happened and remember to be thankful at all times. I just want to go up to her and shake her and say WHY DIDN'T YOU STOP!!!!! I know that she is sorry for what happened and I know that she would change it if she could.

Things are going to be messy to get medical bills and things straightened out but God knows about it all and I pray that I listen to his word and act accordingly. Please pray for us and I leave you with the scriptures that are helping me.

1 Thessalonians 5: 15-18 (NLT)
See that no one pays back evil for evil, but always try to do good to each other and to everyone else. Always be joyful. Keep on praying. No matter what happens always be thankful, for this is God's will for you who belong to Christ Jesus.

Colossians 3:13 (NLT)
You must make allowance for each other's faults and forgive the person who offends you. Remember, the Lord forgave you, so you must forgive others.

Colossians 3: 17 (NLT)
And whatever you do or say, let is be as a representative of the Lord Jesus, all the while giving thanks through him to God the Father.

funny!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I so cannot believe I forgot to tell you all about what TG said Tuesday! She came through the front door (backpack still on her back) straight to her dad and said: " Dad I need a banana! Can I eat a banana? I haven't had a banana in so long I forgot what it tastes like!" My hubby looks at her trying so hard not to laugh and said, "baby we don't have any bananas, but we will have momma get some tomorrow." She looked up at her dad and gave the sweetest smile and said, "oh thank you!"

It just doesn't get much more precious than that!!!!! (granny I know you are smiling just like the girls was as you read this)


I have a prayer request from my friend Deedra. Her cousin was killed in a car wreck. Please pray for her and her family. I love you girl!!!!!!

Lord speaking...

This evening the Lord continued to draw me to some scriptures. On was about encouraging hurting people- 2 Samuel 22: 29-31

O Lord, you are my light; yes Lord, you light up my darkness. In your strength I can crush an army, with my God I can scale any wall. (This is my favorite)-31- As for God his way is perfect. All the Lord's promises prove true. He is a shield for all who look to Him for protection.

Lord I am looking you to shield and protect my family. Thank you for your perfect way and strength!

Another verse that spoke greatly to me: Romans 5: 3-4

We can rejoice too, when we run into problems and trials, for we know they are good for us-they help us to learn to endure. Endurance helps develop strength and character in us.


I am not sure if these scriptures help anyone else, but they sure did me!

love to all

Go carts and Grandma Jo

Hello all,

well I had to go to Walmart today to get a few things and I called to see if Grandma Jo needed anything. She just needed 2 things so I picked her up and off we went. Grandma Jo and I haven't had any quality time together in a good while so it was great!!! I love my granny!!!! :) We laughed and joked it was quite fun... my grandma Jo is something else..... if you know her you know what I mean. :):):)

The kids wanted to ride their go carts. We have one that is big enough for adults that Big T drives. This time the kids took turns riding while I drove them. LOL I actually had fun...... they just laughed... it was great mom and kid time! Sad part is it made hubby feel bad b/c he couldn't get out there with us. I just wish there was SOMETHING I could do to help lift his spirits. His pain wasn't too bad today. I ask that you pray for his spirits to be lifted.

Big T's basketball practice begins Monday. That also brought hubby down..... he was supposed to coach and is sad that he will miss spending that time with Big T.

So for my hubby I pray: dear Lord I come to you humble and broken asking for your strength and blessings to fall upon Scott. Lord please lift his spirit and help me to keep him feeling completely loved. Lord Jesus thank you for all your blessings and for the healing and safety of Scott. I love you with all I am.

To my hubby: Scott you are such a strong and amazing man. You always put me and the kids before anything especially yourself. I know that you are down but just know that soon you will be better and taking care of things again. You don't realize it, but you are still taking care of me more than you realize. The fact that I wake up to you every day and I am able to kiss you goodnight means more than you can imagine. I love you completely!

I also ask prayers for: my mom, mother and father-in-law, Grandma Jo, cousins Farrah and Carissa, and many unspoken requests.

with love to all

another day

HUBBY HAD TO BREAK DOWN AND TAKE SOMETHING TO HELP HIM SLEEP LAST NIGHT. HE SLEPT 6 FULL HOURS!!!! WOW, THAT IS THE MOST HE HAS SLEPT IN 3 WEEKS! ( THE WREAK WAS 3 WEEKS AGO MONDAY.) THE ONLY PROBLEM WITH TAKING SOMETHING TO HELP HIM SLEEP IS THAT HIS PAIN MEDICINE WEARS OFF AND WHEN HE WAKES UP HE IS IN EVEN MORE PAIN THAT USUAL. :( NO FUN!
WHAT IS SO FUNNY IS THAT I STILL WOKE UP EVERY FOUR HOURS LIKE CLOCK WORK READY TO TAKE CARE OF HIM... GO FIGURE...

MY MOM HAD A REALLY BAD DAY! SHE FINALLY JUST LEFT WORK EARLY. HUBBY HAD HER TO COME UP TO THE HOUSE AND VISIT. SHE SEEMED TO FEEL SOME BETTER WHEN SHE LEFT. SHE HAD TO TAKE MY GRANDMA JO TO GET HER HAIR CUT.

HUBBY WAS DOWN TODAY. HE IS COMPLETELY SICK AND TIRED OF NOT BEING ABLE TO DO ANYTHING. I HAD A MASSIVE HEADACHE AND WAS NOT IN THE BEST OF MOODS EITHER. I FEEL SO HELPLESS. IT HURTS SO MUCH BECAUSE THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NOTHING I CAN DO TO HELP HIM FEEL BETTER ABOUT IT. I KNOW HE APPRECIATES ALL THAT I DO FOR HIM, BUT I KNOW THAT I CANNOT GIVE HIM THE ONE THING HE LONGS FOR.... INDEPENDENCE! :( BUT I REST ASSURED THAT GODS PLAN IS FAR GREATER THAN ANYTHING.

I ASK FOR YOUR PRAYER FOR MY SWEET COUSIN FARRAH. SHE IS MAJOR PREGO AND FEELING MISERABLE. I HATE THAT I AM NOT ABLE TO BE THERE FOR HER. EVEN THOUGH THERE REALLY ISN'T ANYTHING I CAN DO.... HER DUE DATE IS NOVEMBER 16TH BUT I DON'T THINK THERE IS ANY WAY SHE IS GOING TO MAKE IT TILL THEN. SHE GOES TO THE DR TOMORROW..... I WILL KEEP YOU POSTED!

I AM THANKFUL TO ALL THAT READ AND COMMENT. YOUR COMMENTS HELP MORE THAN YOU REALIZE.. I SO ENJOY READING ALL OF YOUR BLOGS ALSO SO KEEP THEM COMING......

Getting out

Today hubby and I had to go to the Dr. in Huntsville again. NO FUN!!!! Stopped by his work and everyone was so sweet... he is greatly missed...... of course he is someone else is having to do his job and they don't like it! :)

The kids got report cards.... they did fantastic!!!!!! TG had all A's- she is in first grade, and Big T got A's and B's- he is in 5th grade. :) I am so proud of them!!!!!!

Big T is about to start basketball practice. He is so excited. My hubby is sad though, he was supposed to coach it and can't now due to the accident. Worst thing is he will not even be well enough to go to the games... he might be able to go to the last few in December. We will just have to wait and see.

My mother-in-law started an new job this past weekend..... she likes it very much.... hubby and I missed not being able to talk to her this weekend. We couldn't wait to call her this morning! If you are wondering why I do not have any pictures of her and my father-in-law it is because I know she would just have a fit if I put her picture on here!!!! She hates to have her picture made.....:):) so I knew better....lol

Just know that they are the best in-laws a girl could ask for.... I love them to pieces and miss them. They live over an hour and 1/2 away from us so we don't get to see them as much as we would like. I know she reads my blogs so: GRANNY- I LOVE YOU!!!! Thank you for raising such an amazing son..... he is my love! :)

well more to come later..... got to go finish some chores and cook supper..... I will continue later tonight.......

post a comment if you like.... I love to hear from you all!

God Bless!

out and about

My mom and grandma came to visit today. Such fun!!!!! We have my grandma's cat "tomorrow." Yes the cats name is tomorrow... why you ask? well ---- first you would just have to know my grandma Jo... but here goes.... One of my students, two years ago,had kittens she was giving away. I asked hubby (we were not married at the time and he had an apartment) if TG could have one. Of course! So I had my student to bring them over to my apartment and let me choose one. My mom and grandma came in and both decided they wanted one also. So my mom named her cat chloe and I named TG's Oreo- b/c it was black and white. Well grandma Jo kept telling me and mom, "I will name her tomorrow." Well tomorrow came and we asked again and she said, "I will name her tomorrow." This went on for about a week and mom and I began to joke and call the cat "tomorrow." Well I guess you have figured out that the name stuck! :)

So now back to the visit today- grandma Jo lived in the apartment beside mom and their cats would have play dates...yes I know play dates for cats???? go figure! :)

Well grandma Jo moved into Dogwood Haven I in August and couldn't take the cat. So of course the cat comes to my house joining my two cats- Oreo and Pete... and our dog Marcy. Well needless to say they all didn't get along well together at first but they have come to a mutual understanding..... :)

So mom's cat chloe is sad because she misses tomorrow.. so mom took tomorrow back home with her today.... I am somewhat sad.. she was a loving cat.... but one less pet to take care of.

So mom and grandma Jo left and hubby wanted so badly to go outside for a while and watch the kids play. He is so sick and tired of sitting either in his chair or on the bed. So as the kids loaded up on the go-cart I got hubby in his wheelchair and took him outside. Have I mentioned that I am so not a good wheelchair driver???? LOL those of you that know me are completely laughing right now... as you should.

So we make it over to the shade under the tree and watch the kids ride for a bit.... not too long.. hubby's foot begin to throb after he keeps it down a while. :(

So back in we came and I am starting supper.

I so miss going to church. I will be so glad when hubby is able to handle going to church. I hope everyone has had a great day!

helpless

well I can't sleep.... my poor husband! He is in such pain. He cannot get comfortable and every time he moves he yells out in pain. I am having to sleep on a mattress beside our bed because of his injuries. I just wish there was something I could do to help him. Thankfully I know the only ONE that can.

Dear Lord I come to you asking you help relieve his pain and allow him some much needed rest. Lord you are the great physician. Thank you for our lives and health.

new toys

Today I was able to get out of the house for a bit. Of course you all know exactly where I went.... Walmart! Why is that place so appealing? Anyway..... my honey was needing a table of some sort to put his computer on/eat on/write in his journal etc... so as I investigated I found the coolest lap top table with a light and it extends taller with storgage compartments. I wish you could have seen him! He was the cutiest thing sitting there checking it out. He also wanted some headphones so he can watch movies online and listen to music. So you can just imagine him laid back in his reclinder with his lap top table and headphones on.... TOO CUTE!!!!!!!!!

I dropped the kids off at my moms. She was going to take them hiking at DeSoto State Park. :) I can't wait to hear the stories..... but who knows what all they will do before she brings them home tonight.... you know how grandmothers are! (of course that is why we all love them so much right?)

We have PT yesterday..... hubby wasn't able to do much.... his bones are still hurting. He is able to mve his fingers on his right hand quite well. I am so proud of him. The foot is another thing. So keep the prayers coming....... God is working!!!!!!!

Lord you know how much I love you but it will never compare to the love you have for me. Thank you for the blessing of life today. Thank you the smile on my hubby's face. Please continue to heal his body and ease his pain. Give me and my family strength to remember YOU are in complete control and know all. I love you with all that I am. Thank you for saving me!

Prayer for my love

Dear heavenly father I come to you and ask for your healing touch to fall upon my husband. I praise you Lord for the blessing of life you have given to us. Lord you are the healer and all we need in our lives. I leave his recovery in your hands for I know that is the best place to be. I ask for your encouragement and strength to fall upon him daily.

Scott you are my true love and I can't (and don't ever want to) imagine my life without you. I can't praise God enough for allowing me the gift of continuing to have you in my life and the honor of being your wife another day. I love you just doesn't seem like enough. When I look at you I see my best friend. Baby I am so thankful for you and love that I am here to be able to take care of you.

how quick things can change

Hello to all..... well this is my first experience with this blog thing.... :)

First I would like to thank Deedra for her blog. I have been very blessed by it and inspired to write one myself.

So my life: I have prayed for a wonderful man that is a great father and God so greatly blessed me! HIs name is Scott Davis. We were married on June 9, 2008. Scott has a simply beautiful daughter Taylor Grace whom I dearly love and I am proud to call her my daughter. God knew how much I wanted a daughter and oh how I have been blessed by her!!!!! She is 6 years old and is in the first grade. I adopted my nephew Tommy when he was 5 years old. He is now 11 and in the fifth grade.... wow how quickly goes by! So I have am amazing famly!!!! Thank you Lord!!!!!

I have been teaching at Moon Lake Elementary School in Mentone, Alabama for 8 years. I love my job. It is such a blessing to see those precious faces and go through the day watching the world through a child's eyes. I am also blessed to have my children attend the school I teach at so I am able to see them throughout each day.

My husband works in Huntsville. Yes it is quite a hall from Henagar.... but he works for a wonderful company.

REASON FOR TITLE: Our family was forever changed on Monday, September 29, 2008 at 7:20 p.m. Taylor Grace and I had just finished our shower and were getting ready to read a book. I had just told Tommy to get ready to take a practice spelling test. We all climbed up on my bed when the phone rang. I looked at the clock realizing the Scott should have been home, but he told me he would be late. He purchased a motorcycle to drive back and forth to work due to the gas prices. So I knew I couldn't reach him on his phone. He always calls and lets me know he is on his way. I figured it was him called to tell me what time exactly he would be home. As I looked at the caller ID I didn't recongize the number and almost didn't answer it. As I said hello a wonman said my name and told me hers. She said she was with my husband Scott. At first I thought "what is this woman doing with my husband?" lol then she said words that I will never forget. She told me to " stay calm but Scott had been in an accident." I didn't even know what to say.... I began asking her if he was ok and she said he was alive, but needed to go to the hospital. She put the phone close to him and he was telling me he loved me and that he thought he better go to the hospital to get checked out and for me to be careful on my way there. Then the woman came back on the line and told me to come to Jackson County hospital.

The kids and I quickly got ready and hurried out of the house. As I was driving I called my mom and had her to meet me at the river bridge in Scottsboro. As I was on my way to meet her the policeman called me to get some information about my husband. He then informed me that they were air lifiting my husband to Huntsville Hospital. I completely lost it!!!!!! I knew things were a lot worse that I thought. I dropped the kids off told them I love them kissed them and headed over the bridge. I called my mother and father-in-law. As I was talking to my mother-in-law I topped the bridge and I saw police lights... my heart sank and I began crying uncontrobably.. I had to let her go. I knew that was where the wreck happened. As I drove through I was looking for the motorcycle and imagining where my husband had been.... it was heart wrenching.... I continued on praying that he would be ok. I prayed that his injuries would be no more than broken bones. As I got to the hosptial my husbands best friend L was there. I am so thankful for him! He is the best! I went to the nurses desk and they told me they knew nothing except he was alive. That was great news but still not enough......

It was 8:30 p.m. My husbands parents, his best friend L and myself sat there waiting. Finally at 10:45 p.m. the nurse cam eto get me to take me to him. I had no idea what to expect. As I entered the room I saw his right leg laying very strange and his foot just dangling. His right arm was wrapped up and he had a neck brace on. He had many scraps and cuts. Then I walked up to the bed and looked over at his face... there I saw the most beautiful thing I had ever seen... my husband smile at me and tell me he loved me. I just kept kissing him and telling him how much Ilove him! We talked and then took turns letting L and mom and dad-in-law come back. At 1:00 a.m. the doctors came in to set his arm and ankle. That wasn't fun!!! Then we got moved to a room upstairs at 3:00 a.m.

As we sat there together he began to tell me about what happened. He had just turned onto Hwy 35 off of HWY 72 in Scottsboro headed towards Henagar he stopped at the red light at the car wash. As he went on he saw a car coming up to the stop sign at K and K trailor park. The car was moving quickly and he didn't think she was going to stop. He slowed down to about 40 mph. He saw her brake lights come on so he moved over to the left lane thinking she was going to stop. Oh but she didn't! The next thing he knew she was plowing into his right side and sent him skidding down the highway 80 feet into on coming traffic. The motocycle went on off the other side of the highway into the ditch. They put him in an ambulance and took him over to Home Depot. He then was put into Med Flight and taken to Huntsville.

He had surgery at 2:30p.m. on Tuesday, September 30, 2008. As my mother-in-law sat together I thought about how much I loved him and how I was so thankful he was alive and praying he made it through surgery.

By God's grace he did and the doctor said he did a number on his wrist. On his right arm he broke both bones in his arm at the wrist, three bones in the hand, busted all his knuckles. On his right leg he broke his tibia, his ankle, and his toes. He has 2 medal rods in his arm, a pin, and an external fixator-which is four screws put into his arm that is hooked to a medal bar outside his arm. He also has screw in his ankle that attached it back to his leg. The good news is: NO INTERNAL INJURIES!!! This is only by the grace of God! He should have by every right been dead. I am so thankful for God's blessing and grace on our family.

We spent 5 nights in the hospital. Which if you have ever done was a total nightmare. We finally got home and settled in as best as possible. My mom and mom-in-law have been simply amazing. I am so blessed to have them. Thank you sweet Jesus for them and their love for you! Hubby can feed himself but that is about it..... I have to do everything for him, but I don't care. I have him with me. That is all that matters to me!

The kids have really changed. It really scared them. They are both really sensitive and emotional, but for the most part really amazing! They are helping me greatly. I love them both so much. They are wonderful, respectful, loving, helpful, beautiful people. God thank you so much for the blessing of these children and I pray for your protection on them.

So I ask all that read this to please pray for the healing of my hubby S and strength for myself and the kids T and TG.

Our lives have forever been changed, but I know that God has an amazing plan for our lives.


until next time......
