GOOD NEWS

NO CANCER...THANK YOU LORD! TEST SHOWED NOTHING AT ALL. THERE IS STILL ONE TEST OUT. WE WERE HAPPY BUT THE DR. WASN'T. HE SAID IF IT WAS A PRIMARY BLOOD PROBLEM HE COULD FIX IT WITH MEDS. NOW IT'S BACK TO THE HEART. TIM WILL HAVE ANOTHER TEST NEXT WEEK TO LOOK AT THE HEART VALVE TO SEE IF IT IS LEAKING OR IF SOMETHING IS WRONG WITH IT. IF THERE IS SOMETHING WRONG THE ONLY WAY TO FIX IT IS TO HAVE OPEN HEART AGAIN. I DON'T THINK SO. I TOLD THEM THEY WOULD JUST HAVE TO KEEP GIVING HIM BLOOD AND IRON TREATMENTS. HE SAID IT WASN'T GOOD TO KEEP GETTING BLOOD. SO ALL I CAN DO IS PRAY THAT IT'S NOT THE VALVE. I'M PRAYING THAT IT WAS ALL JUST BECAUSE OF EVERYTHING HE'S BEEN THROUGH AND IT WILL GET BETTER WITH GOD'S HELP.

HE HAD A SLEEP TEST SUNDAY NIGHT IN HUNTSVILLE. I GOT TO SLEEP IN THE CAR ALL NIGHT. WELL I STAYED IN THE CAR ALL NIGHT. HOPE HE DOESN'T HAVE TO HAVE THE SECOND PART OF THAT TEST, I REALLY DON'T WANT TO STAY IN THAT CAR ALL NIGHT AGAIN.

WELL I'M GETTING CAUGHT UP ON HOUSEWORK AND YARD WORK TODAY. I REALLY HATE THAT WEED EATER. I'VE NEVER HAD TO USE IT BEFORE, I JUST DO A LITTLE AND REST. TIM SAID HE WAS GOING TO GET SOMETHING TO PUT ON IT AND AROUND ME SO IT WILL HELP OUT MY ARMS. STILL WAITING... HAVE A BLESSED DAY.

I ALMOST FORGOT, I TOOK THIS PICTURE OF MY PINK ROSE A FEW DAYS AGO. IT SMELLS SOOOO GOOD.

IT'S OVER

TIM HAD THE BONE MARROW BIOPSY YESTERDAY.THANK GOODNESS THAT IS BEHIND US. WE FIND OUT THE RESULTS WEDNESDAY. NOW WE STAY BUSY SO WE DON'T STRESS OVER THE RESULT. PRAYING FOR GOOD NEWS.
HOPE EVERYONE HAS A GREAT WEEKEND. WISHING ALL A HAPPY MOTHERS DAY.

IT'S BEEN AWHILE, SORRY

I'D LIKE TO START OFF BY SAYING I'M SORRY FOR NOT POSTING IN A LONG TIME. I GUESS LIFE JUST GETS IN THE WAY AT TIMES.
TIM IS DOING BETTER NOW. HE GOES NEXT WEEK FOR A BONE MARROW BIOPSY. HIS RED BLOOD CELL COUNT IS LOW. HE'S HAD 5 IRON TREATMENTS AND 5 B-12 SHOTS AND IT'S LOWER THAN WHEN HE STARTED. PRAYING IT'S JUST BECAUSE OF EVERYTHING HE'S BEEN THROUGH. HIS HEART IS DOING BETTER, JUST TIRED BECAUSE OF HIS BLOOD.
I'VE NOT BEEN CROCHETING VERY MUCH. I AM WORKING ON A WHEELCHAIR WRAP. I NEED TO DO MORE.
I PROMISE TO DO MY BEST TO BE A BETTER BLOGGER. I HOPE EVERYONE OUT THERE HAS A GREAT WEEKEND AND KNOW YOUR IN MY PRAYERS EVEN IF I'M NOT POSTING. I'D ALSO LIKE TO THANK EVERYONE FOR YOUR COMMENTS AND E-MAILS.
LAST BUT NOT LEAST TO MELISA, THANK YOU FOR BRINGING TO MY ATTENTION HOW LONG IT'S BEEN SINCE I'VE POSTED. NOW OFF TO VISIT.

PREEMIE THINGS FOR EGF

2 LITTLE GOWNS AND 1 BLANKET FOR EGF. I STILL NEED TO MAKE BONNETS TO GO WITH THEM. I THINK I ALREADY HAVE ANOTHER BLANKET LIKE THIS MADE.

UPDATE ON TIM: HIS MEDS ARE MAKING HIM SICK AGAIN AND THAT MEANS I HAVE A HARD TIME GETTING HIM TO EAT. HE STILL FEELS BETTER THAN HE HAS BEEN. HE GOT OUT YESTERDAY AND ENJOYED THE PRETTY WEATHER WE HAD. LAST NIGHT HE PAYED FOR IT.HE WAS COLD AND THEN HE WAS SWEATING. HE'S GROUNDED TODAY SO HE CAN LOOK OUTSIDE AND THAT'S IT.

I HOPE EVERYONE HAS A BLESSED DAY.

HOME SWEET HOME

WELL WE ARE HOME AGAIN. TIM SAID THANK YOU FOR THE PRAYERS AND GOD BLESS YOU ALL. I THANK YOU ALSO. SO VERY TIRED RIGHT NOW, I JUST WANT TO GO TO BED AND SLEEP.
HE CAME HOME WITH A FEW NEW MEDS SO MAYBE THIS WILL WORK. I TOLD HIM I'D LIKE TO VACATION SOMEWHERE ELSE NEXT TIME , I'M SICK OF THE HOSPITAL.
DID A LITTLE CROCHETING WILL TAKE PICTURES AND POST LATER.
I HOPE EVERYONE HAS A BLESSED DAY.

UPDATE

TIM HAS BEEN IN THE LOCAL HOSPITAL (TUE-THUR) AND NOW HE'S BACK IN HUNTSVILLE HOSPITAL. HIS HEART JUMPED OUT OF RHYTHM FRIDAY. THEY HAVE HIM HOOKED UP TO AN I.V. GETTING TWO KINDS OF MEDS AND HE'S TAKING A PILL FOR THIS. HIS HEART DID GO BACK IN BY ITSELF. REALLY DIDN'T WANT THEM TO STOP AND RESTART HIS HEART. THEY GAVE HIM 2 PINTS OF BLOOD YESTERDAY. DON'T KNOW WHY HE'S LOW ON BLOOD YET. STILL DOING TEST. HIS BIRTHDAY WAS SAT. I WENT DOWNSTAIRS AND GOT HIM SOME BALLOONS TO CHEER HIM UP.
I LEFT ABOUT 3:00 YESTERDAY AND CAME HOME FOR SOME REST. I SLEPT 12 HOURS. THOUGHT I WOULD CHECK IN WITH EVERYONE AT THE CABIN BEFORE I LEAVE OUT THIS MORNING. I NEED TO BE GOING I HAVE A 2 HOUR DRIVE. HAVE A BLESSED DAY.
PLEASE KEEP TIM IN YOUR PRAYERS.

SNOW PICTURES

THESE PICTURES WERE TAKEN MARCH 2, 2010 GOING DOWN THE ROAD A FEW MILES FROM THE HOUSE. TWO OF THE MOUNTAIN ROADS WERE STILL CLOSED SO WE HAD TO GO ON TO HWY. 35 TO GO OFF THE MOUNTAIN. I WAS IN THE BACK SEAT TAKING PICTURES, I REALLY DIDN'T THINK THEY WOULD LOOK THIS GOOD. I'M REALLY SHOCKED THAT THE OLD BARN LOOKED SO GOOD.

WHAT A DIFFERENCE A DAY MAKES

I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR MY FLOWERS TO OPEN AND THIS WAS THE FIRST ONE. THIS WAS TAKEN MONDAY.


THIS WAS TAKEN TUESDAY. I'M SO READY FOR WARM WEATHER.

TIM'S BLOOD WAS STILL TO THIN MONDAY SO WE HAD TO GO BACK TO HUNTSVILLE FOR MORE TEST TUESDAY. MY BROTHER-IN-LAW HAD TO DRIVE. HE'S STILL STAYING SICK, NOT EATING BUT HEART IS ALRIGHT. HIS BLOOD WORK SHOWED A HIGH LEVEL OF CRETIN (NOT SURE ABOUT SPELLING). SO LOWERED ONE OF HIS MEDS. HE'S LOST OVER 30 POUNDS AND LOOKS GREY TO ME. ONE DAY HE ATE A TAD OF APPLE SAUCE AND A LITTLE CRACKER.
