Items needed

We have a couple of items we have been keeping our eye out for.

We are in need of 2 twin size mattresses and 1 twin box spring. If anyone hears of any that might be available could you let us know. Thanks. I have been watching Craig's list but they are gone by the time I call.

Also I am in need of 1 boys black clip on tie. He needs this for his Choir concert. I have been searching everywhere. I even went to a couple of stores but they are even outrageously expensive or they do not even carry them. He only needs it for about 2 concerts.

Thanks!!! A friend today said that I should post these items here and I never even had thought of it before.

Nate's Aunt

I just received an email from Nate's cousin!!! Thank you all for the prayers!! Please keep them coming!!

What a roller coaster this past week has been! In a 24 hour period we went from anticipating a very serious surgery, to staying in the hospital for 6 - 8 weeks with only IV fluids for 4 of those weeks to eat a full meal, keep it down and you can go home!

I don't think the doctors are still 100% sure of what was going on with my mother! Hower, on Tuesday she made such a turn around that it was decided that she could try a small amount of fluids by mouth. When that went well, they added more fluids, then a soft diet then a regular meal. Alll this was done on a trail basis, if there was any pain in the stomach, it would be immediate surgery. THERE WAS NO PAIN!!! It was amazing.

My mom came home yesterday afternoon, and last I heard she was dusting. Since she has her left arm is in a cast - this is not easy. But I have a very stubborn and determined mother! I think this personality trait helped her throughout this trail.

The doctor kept saying how he could not believe what was happening! He told my mom she was a miracle. I agree - but I also KNOW that it was the prayers of those who love and care about her that played the biggest role in her healing. So thank you - and thank you for the help you gave me with your comments and concerns.

Please continue to pray for a full recovery. If there is any indication of pain, it is an ambulance ride right back to Spectrum. So with this excitement, there is fear and trepidation that we are not out of the woods yet. However, we are celebrating the measure of health she has and continuing to trust that the Lord will bring her complete health and strength. After these past 24 hours, how can we expect anything more?!!

God bless!

What your height says about you!

I saw this on my friend Cheri's blog. I loved the part about me being about the average height of a mexican woman! LOL

What Your Height Says About You

You are a gifted communicator, and you understand other people well. You are compassionate and empathetic. You feel other's pain a little too easily. Because of your open heart and open mind, many people admire and adore you. You are classy and well mannered. You have the art of charm mastered. You are about as tall as the average Mexican woman.

Nate's Aunt Millie - update

Nate's aunt is awake and doing better!! This is a huge praise!!

We just found out that on Saturday the Doctor told Nate's uncle that if a miracle does not occur and if things do not turn around in 2 days she would die.

Today she is awake and they think they will be able to do surgery now. Thank you Lord!!!

She is not out of it completely yet but the doctors are amazed! How can you not be amazed when you have a God like we do!!!

Nate's Aunt Millie

Could you all please keep Nate's aunt in your prayers. She has been in the hospital since last week.

She had some kind of pocket of poison that formed and they were trying to figure out how to drain it. There is MORE but its not very easy to explain. We went and saw her on Friday night and she looked really good and they thought she might even be able to go home as they did more tests to see how to get rid of the poison. If they did it wrong it could burst and she would die immediately.

Yesterday when we got home from church we had a message that said she was on life support and they were putting tubes in to try to get rid of the poison. I will post more when I know more. Just please keep Millie, Bob and their family in your prayers. Their son is a pastor out west and is flying in today for a week to be with her. She was SO excited to see him.

Thanks!!!!
