Update on Mom

Mom enjoyed her anniversary out of the hospital.  Yeah!  She is now back at the ranch and Lord willing, is not needed back at the hospital for four weeks.  What a praise that she is doing so well.  Mom and Dad were blessed to go out to dinner to celebrate their anniversary.  Mom says that she is feeling much better and is grateful to be home again.  Thank you to everyone who is holding Mom up in prayer.  God is answering.

Happy Anniversary!

Today is Dad and Mom's 54th wedding anniversary.  WOW!  54 years...Isn't that wonderful?!  They were married on 7~7~57...easy for them to remember.  Mom said that the last six years have been the best...never taking each other for granted and thanking God for each day.  So sweet.
Happy Anniversary Dad and Mom!

Back in the Hospital

Mom is back in Stanford Hospital.  She confessed that she has been feeling poor for a long time but with so many wonderful social events on their calendar, she just couldn't bring herself to tell anyone.  When she went in for her routine lab work, they took one look at her and call for her doctor.  He took one look at her and said, "You look awful!"  Not exactly very encouraging to say the least.  So in the hospital she went and there she sits.  Prayerfully, she will be able to go home on Friday so she can attend Haustin and Tyler's graduation.  This will be a long shot, but we are praying for this to happen just the same.  Mom's blood has become toxic again and they have her on antibiotics to try and get things under control.  Mom's body might be in tough shape but her spirit is good and she continues to praise God for the breath He gives her daily.  She is a real encouragement to me!

Since I don't have a current photo of Mom to share with you, I posted a favorite of mine just for fun.  If Mom comes to mind, please pray for her.  We all covet your prayers on her behalf!
