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, ...

Why the Hurry?

We are indulging in an early lunch today after having a late breakfast. I would say it is due to growth spurts but I'm not sure. Unfortunately mine tend to be outward rather than upward so I am hoping that isn't the case for Mama! :P As I went towards the kitchen to fix lunch LadyBug frantically called, "Wait, wait! Mama look at my picture!" She had worked so hard to color a kitty in a coloring book. The head was royal blue and the body orange while it sported a jaunty red bow. (Just so you Auburn fans know it...there was some Crimson Tide thrown in there, ha!) I praised her for staying in the lines while in my head I thought of how an adult would have had to made it look more real. Have you noticed that about children? The majority of young children never color a picture to look real. They use different colors all over. FlowerChild used to color pictures of people and animals with a pattern of up to 8 colors at a time! Have you ever seen a plaid horse? How about a st...

Happenings Around Here

Well, another dog lost. :( This time it wasn't a car but something more sinister...a rattlesnake. She was bitten yesterday evening and lasted about 4 1/2 hours. Poor little Chi-Chi is only about 6 pounds or so and just couldn't take the venom. LadyBug seems to be taking it the hardest among the children. Our Bassett Hound, Daisy, and Chi-Chi are the best of friends and poor Daisy has spent the day looking for her. So sad. The GuitarMan has finished his semester and is home now. I introduced him to Pilates this morning. We worked out together. Ha ha, now if that wasn't a sight I just don't know what would be! He has a new found admiration for it now though. Afterwards I cut the FisherMan's hair outside under the plum tree while the children played in the pool. He asked if there was a way we could be any more redneck. I had plenty of ideas on that if he wanted but he didn't want to take part lol. Apparently it was a rhetorical question. This week was one of apprec...
