Ryan Bruce update...

The drs did a CT scan and found too much spinal fluid around his brain and they are going to operate tomorrow to put in a shunt...

this will allow the fluid to drain out into his stomach...

and relieve the pressure so there is no brain damage...

then the pt person came in and they had him sit on the side of the bed...

stand up...

and step sideways and back into bed again...

great progress...

they liked his balance...

his mom's prayer requests are:

God's hand in guiding the surgeons tomorrow...

getting Ryan's pain meds lined out better...

too much and he's too sleepy to function...

not enough and it's miserable...

this was day 38 for them...

they have been at the hospital with him that long and they still have a long way to go...

I can't imagine having to go through all of that...

so continued prayers for the family...

he has shoulder pain and they xrayed it and no broken bones...

but it could be a rotator cuff injury...

so pray that that is healed and he doesn't have to deal with another surgery for that...

just whisper his name...Jesus heals...

bodies, homes and hearts...

it's a beautiful night...

the street light by the cornfield...

Steve pushed me for another walk....

and then we went for a short drive around the square and by the golf course...

I am so sore from the last few days...

I will sleep so good tonight...

or have to find the heating pad...

sweet dreams...

this evening...

this is the screen we have been working on that I thought would only take about half an hour...

but it looks better...

I bought this off of Rebecca at Ella Mae's Barn Gathering...

ok...laugh if you will...

introducing my shabby chic wheel chair...

more work to do on this..and moving the grapevine tomorrow...

Mr Wiggles trying to take a nap...

love this view...

Bebe...

cone flowers...

before...

after...

you know how you see things when you're just sitting there?...

my hubby...

hoping I don't see anything else...

we had just got back from a walk down the street and he needed to rest...

we have our summer back!...

the temps are low and the humidity is gone!...

and we finally opened the windows!...

have a great night...

One of my favorite things...

I got this from my friend, Rebecca...

I love metal things...

with swirls and holes and character...

Happy White Wednesday...

this morning...

things to fix...

started on this...

lots to clean...

but we had guests...Terri and grandson, Chase...

he is 2...and his Kroc's have eyes on them...he had a sucker from the post office and was on his way to McDonald's for lunch and play time...

cone flowers...

drive way entrance...

corn a block away...at the end of the street...

it curves around to the highway...

more corn...

going back home...

we are on the right...

our place...

some of what we done...needs more bling...

it's cleaner...still need to spray for weeds...but after we are done playing outside...

just had lunch and need a nap...

Steve's at Wally World getting supplies...

should be home in an hour...

I'm sure there will be more later...

I took 78 photos the first time out...

don't say you weren't warned...

I had the most wonderful time last night...

Steve and I went for a walk down our street late last night before bed...

he pushed me down to the end of the dead end...

 then turned me toward the north lot and we were just there watching the stars...

 the clouds move across the sky...

they were very thin and just a whisper as they passed over us...

the moon was big and bright...

it was full on the 26th and a little sliver on the right side was missing...

but I could still see the man in the moon...

and we talked of days gone by...

then we went the other way...

no one was out...

lights were glowing behind curtains...

but the yards and the houses were special after dark...

in the quiet...the stillness...

in our little piece of the world...
