He Lives

My Favorite Season

Did Jesus really live again? Yes when the third day came. He wakened and he left the tomb: He called Mary's Name. Did Jesus come to those he loved? Yes people touched his feet. And of the fish and honey comb. He did truly eat. And there were nail-prints in his hands. And a spear wound in his side. Did Jesus really live again. After he had died? OH YES, AND SO SHALL I! Words from Mabel Jones Gabbott- Luke 24:36-43 and 3 Nephi 11:10-14

Thankful Thursday: Support of co-workers

We have recieved so much support from everyone.

Today I am THANKFUL for the support Mr. Clark is getting from his CO-WORKERS.

Not a day has gone by when someone has not called etc.

Every one is so willing to help him in whatever way they can.

Today one of his co-workers (Larry) offered to drive him around.

This is what another co-worker - Eddie said after being with him today.

"Hey, My eyes and your 'know how' skills.

We make a good team."

How kind is that!

He went to the Refinery for the first time in 2 weeks for a few hours.

He said to me this morning. THIS MEANS SO MUCH TO ME.

I am THANKFUL because I know he is in good hands and he needs to feel he is not failing his team.

It is going to do his heart and soul a lot of good.

For this I am THANKFUL

For Lei

This is Elder Parente learning to make homemade pancake syrup! 1 Cup Brown Sugar, 1 Cup White Sugar and 1 Cup Water. 1 tsp Mapleine Flavoring

Elder Parente even learned how to make FRENCH TOAST! So he has ate it 2 day's in a row! This is Elder Parente after dinner (that's why the table is a mess). Everyone else had banana splits but Elder Parente thinks he is the 'favorite' and so he enjoyed a rootbeer float

Thankful Tuesday: Back in Time on A Beautiful SPRING day!

THANKFUL FOR BLUE SKIES

WINDMILLS: My Favorite

Green pastures-amid the left over snow

A corral- which reminded us of home on the Farm in Utah

Another WINDMILL with a WATER HOUSE

A Historic Log Cabin

A BARN

Rock fence (built by prisoners) that goes for miles.

Took Mr. Clark for a Drive today. We keep going back to CHASE COUNTY. All of these pictures are near the town "MATFIELD GREEN" Still trying to find my ancestors!

The First Day of Spring!

The first Day of Spring and we have SNOW! Lovin, the Hyacynths poppin' up through the snow!

Fianlly the results are in...

FLOWERS FROM MR. CLARKS COMPANY

Shew -- a few melt down day's. We have made a lot of decisions about the 'WHAT IF'S"

We have cried a lot too.

We put our trust in the Lord. With faith that what ever our new journey holds for us.

We would be ready to move ahead.

I could tell you the funny things that Mr. Clark experienced due to his eye sight!

One day we were walking down the hall and Mr. Clark stopped abruptly and gasped. I said, "what is wrong" He said, " The person walking towards us doesn't have a head"

The best one of all though was he thought he could see a spider. And he said, "can't you see it? It's blue, It's right--" I said," if you can see it grab it and kill it!" And he swooped up his hand a grabbed the imaginary spider and smashed it. And we laughed to tears!

Getting home even was a circus... after I lost the car in the parking garage at the hospital. Yes, I have a very Patient Honey! We arrived home, Ah the comfort of a real bed. and peaceful surroundings!

Then the responsibility to make sure Mr. Clark gets all 12 meds at the right time everyday was another challenge. We are talking about a women who looses her car in the parking lot. How the heck am I going to be a Nurse!~j/k

Two years ago I was trained to do in home I.V's and wound care so I know I am capable.

Oh and by the way... We have now graduated from a 14 day pill container to a Breakfast, lunch, Dinner and Bedtime container.

We are also accustom to being in the "GERIATRICS" zone. LOL!

Finally the results are in. We now know what's up with Mr. Clark's eyes. Macular Edema which rarely happens to both eyes at once.

His Kidney's are going to get a work over too. At 20 percent function now, we are optimistic that we can get them to improve also. Getting everything to work for Mr. Clark is going to take some serious work.

We feel so fortunate to have Good Doctors on our team.

and a Loving Heavenly Father

Our "Temporary Home"

This has been our "TEMPORARY HOME" this past week! If you are wondering why I am posting this one... It is HISTORIC! We were in the old part of the hospital. They put these potty's in when they first put them in TRAINS... Guess they figured they were a inventive miracle way back then? It has a curtain for privacy. Pretty crazy hu!

Then they moved us to the 10th floor where the rooms were called "the penthouse suite". Well ya after our "historic" experience! LOL And our room had a real private bathroom. Woo hoo! This is the window in our room over looking Wichita. It is the width of the room. Although it is not green yet. It was a beautiful view that Mr. Clark could not see :(

This is just a pic. of Mr. Clark getting a Ultra Sound. The results came in. He has a baby watermelon in his tummy! j/k It was actually a heart ultra sound.

We've spent 5 days in Wesley Medical Center in Wichita, Ks. Yet again the second trip to the hospital this year. Mr. Clark woke up Saturday with a SUDDEN LOSS OF VISION. It is pretty scary. They have treated him for a mini stroke, but thankfully it was not. A stressful ordeal. More to come. We have seen the eye doctor today (thurs)and now he is being referred to a Retinal Specialist on Friday. A hard road a head. We are keeping our chins up.

FLASH BACK FRIDAY TOO... Don't Cry Wolf

This was last year in our town. Yesterday as the SIRENS BLARED and I panicked...My adrenaline running. It is yet again another TORNADO SEASON. I hollered at the missionaries. "Get down the basement" They both said, "Hu, What" They both thought I was being paranoid... Which I was because apparently it was a 'TEST" Tests are always on Monday at noon. This drives me CRAZY! Don't cry WOLF and then when it is serious I'm complacent. And the next time the SIRENS BLARE I will get blown away... ssspppppfffffffffff

Thankful Thursday: We are not left alone...

It's been a hard day today. For My Family and For My Friends. So I will keep this post simple.

It is comforting to know through our sorrows and afflictions, trials and grief, We are not left alone. We can have the peace and comfort the Savior offers us.

For this I am THANKFUL

Update on Our Son Terrence:

I was working on a update when I got news that because Terrence is suffering more pain and is having more issues with complete numbness in his arm. He is on is way to the Doctor in Salt Lake City. More info tonight. I can tell you that his last appointment was pretty devastating when the Dr. tried to explain what he found when he performed surgery on his arm. He said, "the best way to describe it is taking sliced cheese and melting it altogether. The idea of the surgery was to separate the nerves to give him some pain relief. You can't separate melted cheese. It is disheartening to learn the details. Please keep him in your prayers. --Still no answers. Time is not making things better. The pursuit is now on. We MUST find a doctor that can make a difference. I know they are out there. I know that in a world of advanced technology, someone can help... When a doctor shrugs his shoulders it is time to find some one that knows how they can help. SO FRUSTRATING

Thankful Tuesday: Big Bertha didn't let me down...

My car--Big Bertha wasn't feeling well when I took my friend to the doctor in Wichita today. Big Bertha has been sick again. Occasionally ( when in the most inconvenient times) spits and sputters and dies. Yes this morning she died and I was patient and prayed over her and God saw fit to answer my small prayer. So for this I am THANKFUL!

Thankful Tuesday: A Simple Smile!

A SMILE IS THE LIGHT IN THE WINDOW OF YOUR FACE THAT TELLS PEOPLE THAT YOUR HEART IS HOME. Author Unknown

Because my days are often spent alone, I appreciate even more the little way's people make me smile. Everyday someone touches my life and I can usually find something or someone that make me bust out in a huge smile! From Blogging to Face book to being around my friends. It is like sunshine everyday!

Today it had to have been the smile of a 2 year old. I can't count how many times little S made me smile today.

The little things from her little wave when she saw me, enjoying her lunch so much she didn't want to leave, to being particular about parking her little cart perfectly in the store.

Laying her head down and letting me kiss her to pieces!

Ahhh She was the sunshine in my day today!

Thank goodness for little ones, although it makes me realize how I miss my grandchildren even more :(

Yes I would love them close by every day. I have to rely on messages, phone calls etc.

That last one from little Maddie Cake that said, "GRAMMIE CAN YOU COME OVER RIGHT NOW" How sweet they are!

I love them so much, so glad that they make a difference in our lives.

LOVE HOW THEY MAKE ME SMILE JUST THINKING ABOUT THEM!

YAY IT'S MARCH!

Survived yet another February. A HARD MONTH FOR ME!

So when I wake up I'll be doing dishes! THATS MY DAY! HAPPY MONDAY!
