God Still Answers Prayer

My mother and step-father have been in the VA hospital for 3 weeks. He went in with pneumonia but is also in renal failure and on dialysis three days per week. My mom has taken care of him for the past 6 years or so. It has gotten to the point she is no longer able to provide the amount of care he needs. She has cried and worried so much. While there the doctors drained fluid from this lungs and in the process puncture his lung thus requiring a chest tube to be placed. Yesterday the "doctors" came in and removed the tube telling my mother they were preparing to discharge....mind you he is so weak he cannot lift a straw. She became so upset....well need I tell you when God does something He does it well. In a matter of a couple of hours it was all settled. Arrangements have been made for him to go to a nursing home that is near home and will provide transportation to dialysis. It is also the nursing home his grand-daughter works in as a speech therapist. He will also be able to have physical therapy to try to get some strength back. Please pray for him and Mom that God will continue to strengthen them and give them peace.

A Kept Woman...........................

I Am a 'Kept ' Woman?
You see, there were a few times when I thought I would lose my mind,
But GOD kept me sane. (Isa. 26:3)
There were times when I thought I could go no longer,
But the LORD kept me moving. (Gen 28:15)
At times, I've wanted to lash out at those whom I felt had done me wrong,
But the LORD kept my mouth shut.. (Psa. 13)
Sometimes, I think the money just isn't enough,
But GOD has helped me to keep the lights on, the water on, the car paid, the house paid, etc.., (Matt. 6:25 -34)
When I thought I would fall, HE kept me up.
When I thought I was weak, HE kept me strong! (I Pet. 5:7, Matt. 11:28-30)
I could go on and on and on, but I'm sure you hear me!
I'm blessed to be 'kept '

Self Portriats

Ethel sent me a picture of herself last week. I thought maybe she would share it with everyone....so since she didn't I felt it my obligation........Ain't she cute??? HA!!!

Of course, I would know nothing about all these activities she is into as they would likely come from someone much older than myself !!! tee-hee....

Happy Anniversary Ethel and Fred!!!!!

P.S. I woke up to snow outside my window this morning but was unable to whip out the old camera as I had to "hurry it up" and get to work!! Sorry for not posting snow pictures. Snow is so rare for central MS that we go a little nuts when it does !!! Forgive us for being SILLY!!!!!!!!!!!!! We love to have some fun!!!!!

$$$$$$$$

This is what is needed per month for formula, diapers, wipes....etc....

Mamaw Sue wanted to buy some baby formula to "help out".....I started calculating!!! OH MY GOSH!!!!

Formula at present is 2 cans per day for a total for $420.00 per month.(only to increase)
Diapers approx 15 per day....$120.00 per month
Baby wipes....to wipe those boodies.....approx $24.00 per month.....

Yesterday I helped little Mama take Prentiss and Luke to get a "shot" called Synagis...sp? anyway, it's to vaccinate against the RSV virus.....it cost a whoppin $1200 for one shot! $2400 for both shots. That is twelve HUNDRED dollars, not twelve dollars. They have to take this every month until the virus season has passed. Luke now weighs 11lbs,11oz. Prentiss weighs 10lbs,8oz.

So, if anyone is THINKING about having A BABY......CAUTION>>>>it could turn out differently than you expect. Now, mind you I am not complaining...just stating facts!!! YIKES!!!!!

Can you guess what I am doing?

When will this end??? I am about to CATCH on FIRE !!!!! I dread this summer!!!!!!!! Call 911 maybe the firemen can put this out!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Visit from "Auntie Ethel"

As I was preparing "baby formula" , I received a phone call from Ethel. She and "little brother" were going to be in town and wanted to come by for a visit and see the twins. We had a great fun time and lots of laugh recalling days gone by....boy does Ethel have a good memory! Somethings are better left forgotten---don't you agree? Of course, she managed to scare my pants off before she left. Hopefully those boys won't inherit that trait from their auntie---otherwise, YaYa will live a very anxious life!!


Auntie Ethel, I know you didn't want your picture posted but at least I didn't post the full face picture. I tried to comply. This is Auntie Ethel holding Luke. Prentiss was asleep the entire time so she didn't get to hold him.



Of course, we could not post Luke without posting Prentiss....sweet dreams baby!
