My 2 Kids For Him

Oct. 7, 2008
I'm still here....it's been over a month since my last blog entry. Not a whole lot to tell since my last entry but I have do have some things to share. First I have a prayer request. Unless the Lord has other plans, my grandmother will not be with us much longer. One week and 2 days ago she fell and broke her leg. And from then on it's been a downhill battle. She was admitted to the hospital that day and needed surgery on her leg, but her lungs were not strong enough (she has COPD). Next day, they said she had pneumonia,  when that was better they still didn't know if she was strong enough for surgery but  they went ahead with it last Thursday morning. She hasn't been off the ventilator since.......until this evening. They unhooked her a little after 5:00 today. They said it could be hours or it could be days. Please pray for her to be comfortable and that she doesn't have to suffer. Please pray for my mother and her 4 sisters. I wasn't sure of Grandma's salvation, but my mom said Grandma said she was ready to go home. And Monday my cousin shared with me the time she gave Grandma a tract and went through the plan of salvation with her. My aunt said that Grandma always said a prayer that the lord would help her not to fall everytime she got her bath. She's 82 and  still living by herself, of course with someone checking on her almost daily.
Ds got his braces a few weeks ago. I had planned to get before and after pictures that day but I took the before and forgot the afters. For those of you who know him, you might not recognize him in this picbecause he's being normal:) But....I was wanting a picture of his teeth....so here's the next oneand here's pics I took tonight to use as my after pics:)He didn't want to stop doing whatever he was doing long enough to just give me a smile, but I finally got this

It's a fake smile but I'll catch him smiling later. I had second thoughts about these braces after 3 days of complaining from him. I told him I was taking him back and getting them off but he asked me how soon and would I go ahead and call them now. He told me he didn't need them anyway, his teeth were fine. But things are better now, the pain and discomfort is gone until the next appointment:)
Lastly I'll share a picture of dh's deer. You probably don't want to see it, but here it is. I must share his brags:)He bow hunts and he got this one hunting back behind our house.

I'm really sorry about your grandmother. I hope her home going was peaceful and without pain. I pray God heals the family's hurting hearts.

Yeah, braces are pretty nerve wracking. When my 1st child had hers I got her a milkshake after every visit. Not so healthy. Poor Briana didn't get too many! I dread the day my next one gets them. Ugh. I can't even imagine the whining that we will have to correct! It's all good and part of God's blessings, though, right?

Prayers for your Grandmother!

My DD has to get braces soon too. :-(
(Are they very painful?) I had them a long time ago, but I don't remember much pain. I hope your son adjusts to them soon!

Blessings,
Michelle
