Bad News

Well, we finally got home tonight after being in doctor's offices and the hospital all day. It is official now. The GuitarMan is scheduled for surgery Monday morning. The reason his finger has not healed as well as the other breaks is because the break was much worse than the other doctor first diagnosed. Now he has also had 3 weeks of healing already so that will complicate things. At this point the doctor is not sure how invasive the surgery will be. But it will be involved either way and The GuitarMan will be under general anesthesia. He may also face a second surgery. The rehab is going to very aggressive, even more so than what he has been doing.
It's been a very rough day and I am exhausted. We have a housefull of college kids tonight spending the night. I think it is good for The GuitarMan though to help him keep his mind off of everything. I am thankful he has friends who care.
Please keep praying. This is going to be a long road.

    Will certainly be in earnest prayer for all of you. I know this was very unexpected and not quite the way it was planned. Great to know that God's ways always end in good, even though the in between isn't always so great.

    Shana,
    Thank you so much for your prayers. I know The GuitarMan is probably still this little kid in your mind, even with pictures. It's been so long since you've seen him! Yes, things are very uncertain right now in a lot of ways. We just keep on trying to walk in faith and trust. Thanks for the reminder of His care.

The Season of Pregnancy (updated)

I know. I have been neglecting this blog. Horribly. That's not the only thing that has been thrown by the wayside lately! It is only for a season though. Pregnancy means you must be patient with yourself and accept that sometimes you must let things slide. That also means that you have to plan in order to conserve your energy. I know if I am going somewhere later today then I don't need to rush around and try to get a lot done in the morning. Priorities must be in order. Although the morning sickness is better it isn't totally gone at this point. Whoever named it that anyway? The main thing I have been dealing with is fatigue. My blog shows it. My laundry shows it. My house shows it. Ack, everywhere shows it! I simply do not have the energy to do the bending up and down required to truly clean up, do laundry, and the vacuuming/sweeping etc. It's quite depressing actually! So I do a little here, do a little there. I manage the necessities such as homeschooling, cooking,

Need Prayers

Yesterday I went to my regular doctor's appt. They could not find the baby's heartbeat. Ultrasound showed that for reasons that are simply unknown right now, the baby has died. If I do not deliver on my own by Monday, then I will be induced. We know that God has a purpose in every life, no matter how short. Right now, there are a jumble of feelings. I'm sure the coming days will be no different. We went to my son and told him in person. He came on home as he wants to be here for all of us, particularly FlowerChild, as she leans on him so much. We haven't told the girls yet as we just aren't sure how to handle that at this point. Today in the South the snow is falling and they feel like it is Christmas. I would rather let them have that and watch their delight as they play. It's not important when they find out so much as it is that I find the right way to tell them. I will probably come at it from the direction of a premature birth or that the baby is sick. Th

Latest on GuitarMan

I haven't made a practice of sharing photos with a full facial view on here. However the GuitarMan isn't too worried about that LOL! With many of you praying for him I thought you might like to have an idea of who he is. He is still in a lot of pain. His fingers are all black and blue and his entire hand is swollen. His hand is cut straight across his fingers and across the bottom of his hand. Once again, very obvious what could have happened. He's blown away by everyone caring and checking in him and the prayers on his behalf. He says to thank you all!
