Donate Life...and tell them Trevor sent you...

Donate Life:   

this is what a brave little boy's mom posted on facebook...

'Donate Life my son Trevor Dizzy Coleman was born June 13 1997 he was born with Hirschprungs disease ( no cells in intestine to a absorb) and he had almost all of his intestine removed when he was a week old . After that he could only handle TPN ( IV nutrition) that stuff made my sons liver go bad . When he was one year old his liver started failing fast he needed a transplant right away , only a few places did offer intestinal transplants so April 8th 1999 Trev received his first liver , intestine transplant . It saved his life !!! :*) he was very sick after that and spent 6 months in ICU ! The road was long and rough but I'm so thankful that another parent chose the gift of life so my son could live ! I'm eternally greatful !!! My son and so many others live because of this gift of life ! Donate life '

'Donate Life ,,,, back in 2009 Trev got chickenpox his body responded badly to it , it caused an immune response and his intestine fused together . He started vomiting and not feeling well we had to fly back to Nebraska and they told me he was going to need another transplant . Being on TPN also made his liver fail again . We got here in June and he did not receive his 2nd transplant till September 23 and he only had weeks left to live ...... Some kids never receive there organs believe me u don't need them when u die ! I've seen to many that don't make it because the organs never come Donate Life !!'

Trevor flew from Columbus to the Nebraska Medical Center on March 22nd and had been there since trying to fight the rejection of his donated organs.

Nebraska is where he got his transplants.

Today, Trevor met Jesus in person...

prayers for his family, friends and caretakers...

and the medical staff at both hospitals...

and remember to...

Donate Life

it gave this family 17 years him...

17 years they would not have had without the transplants...

after a morning out and about, here's the haul...

after seeing my old primary and a huge hug from him...

we went onto Walmart and then the Dollar General...

and I found these...

the smallest one was $1 and the largest was $4...

the middle ones, $2 and $3...

so, that's $10 for the whole set!

and fun way to organize!

and then I found these...

love them all...

we ate lunch at Burger King and then headed home...

stopped at Ninny's before we hit town and found a few tables full of 60% off stuff...

got the rooster and berry sprig...

and mini wreath...

and a tiny, cute pillow...

$13 for all of that...

came back to town and found 2 rummage sales...

$1...

silver lid for something...

and a crystal angel candle holder...

75 cents...

a tiny little silver angel blowing kisses...

25 cents...

and that's all there is to that...

I did find this at Walmart...

if you haven't tried these tea mixes, they are the best...

I tried a new flavor today and its just wonderful!

Doc and I had a great time this morning and I brought him up to speed...

doing a 24 hour pee test for the blood sugar...

going to do that on Monday, and Tuesday, Craig and I can take it back and eat out again...

;0)

told him about the lumpy boob thing and he was glad we were doing all the preventive measures there...

I just told him that I had been through too much and come too far to let a boob kill me now...

and he laughed!

just waiting to get into the dietitian to see what we can come up with there...

so, that was most of the day...

the rest included a nap, walk, supper, and a garbage bag of iris from a friend...

then we ate cantaloupe and I had a peach...

staying close to the bathroom tomorrow just in case...

both guys are working tomorrow, so will have a chance to rest up a bit and take it easy...

hope y'all have wonderful weekends, no matter what you end up doing...

we have a few things planned for Sunday, but you will have to stop back by to find out what!

;0)

prayers for you all...

July doesn't get any better than this...

high of 78 today...

overnight low was 59...

just good days this week to be out and have the windows open...

gotsa little problem starting out on the deck...

its 10 pm, so while posting this, I just had Craig take the broom out and knock it down...

they do not fly at night...

its down and he ran for the door...

not going back out there tonight just in case they are as mad as hornets, even though they are wasps...

the cats are really loving this cooler weather, too...

Lester was very good about a photo shoot today...

he looks totally bored...

but he was really just keeping an eye on Hermie...

Daphne...

Mr Wiggles...

all hanging with mom and Charlie...

but there's always one that wants to be different...

Hermie likes hanging with the birds...

even though they don't like it one bit...

and here is a throw back Thursday photo for you...

taken in '87...

DH, Craig and Doug...

my guys...

we were putting up the Christmas tree that year...

their job was to assemble the tree and put the lights on it...

they were done...

then it was my turn to put the ornaments on...

they were so proud of themselves...

got my doctor's appointment in the morning at 9 to check in with my favorite primary...

then a Walmart stop...

going to be a busy morning, but back home in time for lunch...

bringing home a whopper this time, too...

so have a good weekend...

;0)

as the sun sets on the prairie...

sitting here, right before bed, thinking...

I'm hungry...

;0)

just went out after supper was over and the dishes were done...

in a panic...

I had no photos of today!

Miss A, our neighbor girlie, wanted to walk Charlie...

and there is a tomato that is ripening...

and the beans are climbing the tomatoes...

?

but we sat in back a while and watched the shadows fall across the fields...

and I love how the sun lights up the elevator...

Miss A had a good time...

she is up for Miss Coles County...

and the fair time is fast approaching...

she had practice tonight for it, but when they got there...

since it was the last night of it...

they threw them a little party instead...

she is a talker...

and she has never met a stranger...

ever...

and she caught a lightening bug to show you...

;0)

there's the beans...

and she walked around the yard with me and talked and talked...

and she loved the hydrangea...

and she asked for one to give to her mama...

today is her birthday...

so we picked one for her...

and then her grandma called her home...

and the rest of the night has been pretty peaceful...

DH worked 12 hours and doing is again tomorrow...

so he was in bed right after this was taken...

isn't this weather just the berries?

I am so digging these cooler days and even cooler nights...

got long sleeves and socks on...

;0)

it was just a gorgeous day out there...

and in here with the windows open...

 the blankets are piled up high...

and its awesome to snuggle in under them...

and poor Charlie has been sleeping under them, too...

I love the feeling of sinking into a bed...

and everything coming up around you to keep you warm...

I am thinking if winter was this green a lush and nice in the day time...

it wouldn't be such a bad season...

maybe we should take a vote and have that changed...

;0)

who's with me?

sunrise this morning...

there was a heavy dew out and everything was pretty wet...

I didn't hit the bed until 3am, so after DH left for work...

I climbed back in bed for a couple of hours...

after checking the thermometer...

I decided the only sane place to be was back under the covers...

I did get a few shots in though...

before cuddling with Charlie...

he was sure happy to go back to bed!

beans are looking really good...

but they need the heat back to make...

so does the corn...

two ears to a stalk this year and the yields will be high...

and the price of corn has already dropped...

Craig had today off so we cooked like madmen...

got enough made up to last a few days...

got the windows open...

and the weather guy says 52 tonight...

blankets on the bed...

got a sweat shirt on and might just sleep in one, too...

this is the coolest July here that I have ever seen...

its usually so stinkin' hot that you can only get out early in the mornings...

or late in the evening...

its even too cool to sit on the deck or lay on my bed out there...

might have to drag out the electric heater in the morning...

because DH would have a coronary if I turned the furnace on in July!

;0)

hope you are having good days to get out and play a bit...

because I am sure the sun will heat us up again soon enough...
