It's been a great birthday! Cade & Logan made me breakfast in bed all by themselves and came in singing. Love those boys! Paul got me new running shoes, running pants, and sports bra/shirt to run in. I got to nap and probably could have slept all day. :)

Grandma is making some progress. She's really down & not eating very well. Please continue to pray for her and her spirits to lift. The night mama & I got her out of bed to wash & curl her hair & put on makeup
we saw that old spark in her. She's feeling pain in her left hip which to me seems good since she wasn't feeling her leg at all. She can also move her left arm a little. Baby steps, but we will take them! Thank you remembering her!

    Glad you had a great birthday. You'll make a great nurse for Grandma Jean. I hope she can keep up that fighting spirit.

Prayers

Thank you for your prayers! Grandma was finally moved out of ICU today!! She's dying to see her great grand kids, so now they finally can. It will be a long recovery process, but she's a strong willed woman who will excel any limits they set in front of her. If you want her address, just let me know!!
  • aleta
    So glad to hear! Got the email, thanks!

    They have mom on warfarin and a pill that is supposed to help her heart stay in rhythm, plus they are treating her high bp. She is also still on medicine that she was put on years ago for the Paroxysmal Atrial Tachycardia she was diagnosed with. The dr said people with PAT will usually develop the A-Fib problems. If Mom's heart stayed in it all the time, they'd be looking at other treatments.

Prayers

My grandma, Jean, had a stroke Saturday evening. She has paralysis on her left side. She so frustrated trying to move that side and not being able, too. Please keep her and my grandpa in your prayers.
  • anne
    I will be praying for Jean. Sure hate to hear about this, but hope she is able to recover from it.

Julie (McDaniel) Monts

My friend, Julie, after a long wait found out she was pregnant. Not one, not two, but three little babies!! Her and her husband live in Franklin, KY where he preaches at the congregation there. I want to help them in anyway I can. I can only imagine buying all the things needed for three little ones!! She is having 2 boys and 1 girl. She is 30 weeks along and hoping to make it to 32 weeks. She does not have much stuff past the newborn stage, and I am sure she can always you use all sizes of diapers. If you would like to help, that would be wonderful, but so would sending my email out to anyone who might know them or who would want to help them. If you have clothes that are too small for your kids, I know she would be grateful. Even if you want to just send a card of encouragement, let me know. Prayers are definitely appreciated! If you are interested in helping, let me or my mom know! Thank you so much!
