update on Carlisle...

got an email from her just a bit ago...
as soon as the ibuprofen wears off, his fever spikes again...
they are saying core infection and think it is liver related...
the drs are in contact with the children's hospital specialist for a treatment plan...
so they have not moved him...
she said at least 2-3 more days there...
they want him fever free for 24-48 hours...
then home with in home care...
Diana will take him home with her the first week...
so she can watch him closely, his parents have to go back to work...

so keep praying for baby Carlisle, NanaDiana's sweet grandson...
he has been so sick for days and in the hospital...
I will let you know as soon as I do of any word...

we are so thankful for so many things this year...
God's love is the most important one...
family and friends...
a good surgeon...
thank you, Dr Nadeau for taking out my gall bladder...
I had my first holiday dinner actually eating what I cooked!
and it was good...
and I didn't get sick!
Craig said the blessing today...
2 of the things he thanked God for were...
me being able to eat regular food...
and for their jobs...
hope you all had a swell time and enjoyed those around you...
doesn't matter if they are blood or not or how many...
love can fill any table, any room...
;)

Still got a very, very sick baby at NanaDiana's...
they can't get the fever down and his liver counts are still extremely high...
if he is not better by tomorrow, they are transporting to the children's hospital...
keep praying!
we need healing and a Father's touch now!

prayers needed this week...


they need your prayers this week...
got a very sick grandbaby...
if you haven't been in to see NanaDiana this morning, be sure to check her post...
they are still running tests on him and pumping him full of antibiotics...

what we did today...

I have been wanting to do this for the last 3 years...
since my father in law passed away...
and we inherited the china cabinet...

so this morning...
it came into the dining area of the kitchen and the guys moved the mantle into the living room...

and these are the corner curio end tables from the living room...
love it all in here...

its where it should have been all along...
its just that when he died...
it was just a whirl wind of things to do...
and he died in the bitter cold of January...
it was just get it in and throw it somewhere...
so, we had this weekend planned for awhile...
then the truck happened...
but DH didn't have to go with the guy to tow it home this morning...
and we got it all done...
now we are ready for Thanksgiving and then the trees will come out...

thank you for your prayers and wonderful words on the last post...
I will make the call in the morning to see about getting the truck in...
cat scan and xrays in the morning, too...
so pray for those to be ok...

hope your weekend was wonderful...
we are colder than you can imagine here...
single digits and I am not happy at all about that...
at least now s&$%!
;)

praying...

for guidance this morning...

we have some major problems going on here...

and I am searching for answers on which way to go...

before things happened, DH and I got a small trip in to the state park 3 miles north of town...

and the wind was blowing so much the water was choppy...

Craig worked yesterday afternoon and was bringing home pizza for supper...

when he went to back out of the parking place, the truck wouldn't move...

so he called us and we went after him...

DH did get it moved to the park out of the way from the strip mall...

called a tow service and they couldn't get to it until this morning...

all the overtime money put back for winter will soon be gone...

but I need to know who and how to proceed...

and there's no time to waste...

with both guys working in different directions...

pray for DH...

we see things differently...

he sees losing ground and all the hard work going down the drain... 
he sees no Christmas...
I see being able to write a check for it and not having to finance it...
not going in the hole...
having it to do it...
that it was provided for...
ahead of time...
I see not walking...
Craig keeping his job...
pray for us...
its has to be done right the first time...
we don't have it to do over...
and we will get through this...
and it will be alright...
and there will be Christmas...

life is like a mud puddle...
you can either jump over it...
or fall in it...
I am jumping!
