SURGERY, UPDATE, BIRTHDAY

SATURDAY MAY 23



Well Larry had surgery , they took him down at 6AM we thought it was going to be 7:30. You never know what they are going to do. It took a long time to prepare him for surgery, besides the are working with a skeleton crew. They told us that. It was about 8;30 or so before they begin. Nanacy called us aroung 6 so we begin to get ready, we left at 6:45 for the hospital.
It was a long day, but we got to visit with his 2 sisters and brother-in-law. He did great and was a very good parient. Nancy will give details later. He is doing great today and moved out into a room upstairs. They said he had done beyond expectation. He will possible be coming home tuesday, if he keeps improving.
That is what God can do. We called everyone we could think of to pray. THANKS
Larry is a wonderful guy and he really looks out after Nancy. Makes sure she is well taken care of. He tells Nancy to make sure we are taken care of.





BIRTHDAY MAY 24
Today is Maranda birthday, where did the 10 years go. It seems just yesterday we held her and she was so tiny. That day we had a tragedy and a MIRACLE in our lives. She weighed 3 lbs. 11 oz. She lost down to 3 lbs. Was sent to Children's Hospital for a blood transfusion. Her blood count kept dropping. That is the only thing she had done to her. No tubes of any kind.
She was our bundle of joy. She was in the hospital 10 days and done just marvelous. We could not take her out places because she was a premie, seven weeks early. Coy and I moved our trailer over to Tony's house and set it up. When someone else was staying to help out we slept in the trailer. We both worked in Pine Bluff so that was convenient, they lived in Pine Bluff. Kiefer was 2 years old. Those two kids are so dear to my heart, I had them almost 6 years . We have shared so many happy moments.
She is a "tomboy" someone told me tonight, I do not like that word but I guess that is what she is. I say she is real sporty. She loves all sports. Gymnastics first. then basketball, skate boarding is her favorite right now, tomorrow it may be something else. When she is over we take her to the skate park just down the road.
Today which is Monday we took her to the pool. Pam stayed with her a Briauna. She is with me nearly every weekend. Friday is her day, we usually pick her up at school. Summer, I don't know yet. They have five days of school left. Next monday will be a make-up day. Post pictures later.

GOD BLESS ALL OF YOU
