I Have Not Dropped Off the Face of the Earth!

Life has been extremely busy and stressful. I'll post pictures later, but wanted to at least give a little update. On November 21st, my son, Stanford, almost died. He had internal bleeding that the doctors could not stop, and we were told in the emergency room that the would not live very long. He is home now, and you can read more about him here. This is a website my husband made, and has been keeping up to let people know about Stanford and our family. We still do not know what will happen. The treatment Stanford is receiving has about a 5% chance of working, according to the educated guess of the doctors, but we have to try. My SIL, Lori, pointed out that God has preserved Stanford, because He made Stanford get better when the doctors could do nothing. We hope and pray for more miracles, and take things one day at a time.

I've spent a fair amount of time crying, and cope by stitching a little, knitting, and crocheting. I'll show pictures sometime! I am also learning to let go and let people help. They've brought in dinners, run errands for us, done our laundry, covered the newspaper route over the Thanksgiving weekend, and now are coming in to sit with Stanford and help out so John and I can work, sleep, shop, shower, and whatever else we might need to do. I've been able to do a little Christmas shopping, also some decorating.

One day at a time! Pray for another miracle!
