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!

Showered, Delivered and Blogging by 7:30 am waiting for 8:00 to arrive to go hit the Gym. Then I'll be back home to SLEEP the rest of the DAY! A little "BAKED" out!!!

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