Susan I read your update in our Prayer Thread & am glad that Doctors were able to look after him. I am also rejoicing with you Susan the Doctors released him and Colin is now home with you. You said he will need to see his GP for follow up and getting further tests. Praying for wisdom for the Doctors that the right treatment will be found and for complete healing and recovery for Colin. Praying for you Susan for God’s continued Strength and Peace. ❤️🙏
Barb, with Annabella born early it takes time for everything to develop and the Esophagus will develop and function normally. One good thing is she is putting on weight and getting stronger everyday. Praise God! In no time Annabella will catch up be right where she should be in her development! My Son, Stan was born 2 months premature and was born completely jaundiced, he wasn’t able to digest milk not even Mothers Milk and was on Special milk for the first several months, When he was 4 months he could suck normally and was feeding and gaining weight normally. I will continue to keep Annabella in prayer believing for a quick catch up in all areas of her development! Trusting your weather will warm up for you.
Linda, I am so happy to hear you are coming nearer to the end of your treatment and to be discharged. Good News to hear. Happy the physiotherapist says you are doing well. You mentioned that you needed some work for mastering the stairs. In no time you will be going up and down those stairs with no problem. My prayers continue for you.
Linda, You mentioned you were still getting your Tablets and Phones set up. I found the same thing with my iPad was getting installed. The next day I saw it did the same thing you describe here. But I am so happy to say my iPad has finally caught up and all the APPS are up to date. I know in no time yours will be all up to date.
There was questions about wondering if I recovered from my appointments and procedures! God is Good. It took me a day to regain my strength but I am there. I am getting extra rest and know when not to push myself. I have learned to Take One Step at a Time!
Good News: the past 2 weeks I have maintained my weight with clocking in at 94 pounds and 2 ounces 7 days a week with no Weight Loss! Glory to God! God is So Good. I so appreciate all your prayers support kind words of encouragement! I thank God for your Friendship! ❤️🙏🤗1 -
Prayers for all.
Good morning
We maybe near 50* today ball changes tomorrow
Linda byes some Arctic weather will hit us & highs be in the mid teens. Lows in the minus numbers. Fun.
I’ve even heard cold air from Siberia. Fun. This air will keep whatever snow we have on the ground on the ground.
We are melting & I have seen a bit of green grass, we still have a lot of snow especially the piles by street intersections & along the streets.
If a car was in the street the snow is still there too.
Prayers for all.
Son, James, won’t be coming up today, as Kaelyn has a cough. They will try Saturday.1 -
Judith - I am glad that you are maintaining your weight. I know it is encouraging for all of us to hear this. One day at a time should be our thought process in all our lives. We can not change yesterday or tomorrow - just be in control of what we do today. I pray that your weight will continue to gradually increase as well as your strength. I am glad that you are doing self care and allowing yourself to rest when needed. Thank-you for your encouraging words that our phone/tablet problems will eventually get better.
Barb -I am sorry that James had to cancel his plans to come to your house. It sounds like a good idea to wait since Kaelyn has a cough. No one wants Anabelle or Hong Hong to get sick right now.
We now have a working dishwasher which is nice. I do not use it every day because we do not have enough dishes to fill it in one day. It is easier right now to just do them by hand and use the dishwasher for when we have people over or family here. We had the repair tech look at my washer that is not doing well either. He said there is oil dripping out of the motor and that it will cost several 100's of dollars to fix. He suggested that we get a new machine rather than try to repair it. He was saying that the companies that make the appliances, figure that they will fail in 5-7 years rather than the 10 or 20 years that the older well made machines lasted in the past. The parts do not last as long as they did and we are doing well for the washer to be over 8 years old and this the first problem we had. Since it is still working, we will be looking for sales before we buy a new one.

Judith. Thank you for sharing about your son, Stan. In God’s time. In the meantime I know new born parents just don’t get much sleep. That can make it hard. Oh well before they know it Annabella will be running around with her older sister Mariposa.
So glad as I’ve noticed that you have kept the weight with a 2 ounce gain. Prayers for more.
Keep resting when you can.
Linda. Glad that you got the dishwasher working. Did you get a new washer machine? We sure take all our appliances for granted then when they fail we really don’t like it. Prayers.
Will you get the Arctic/Siberia temps that I will get this weekend? I believe that is why the inauguration is inside due to the cold temps as they will get it too. The aDakotas will be colder than us. Oh well.
So glad that you are near the end of your treatment. Maybe celebrate when done??
Susan. How is Colin doing? Prayers.
Praying for peace and all too.
James may come up tomorrow I will know more tomorrow. It’s a 4 hour drive. I feel bad each time they have tried there has been something not stop it. First waiting for their van to get fixed took longer than thought. Then the snow we had, which we still have some though the piles are smaller. When you get 12” it takes a lot to melt it away.
I have no meals plan so maybe doing that or we may go out for supper too.
Sleep well happy Saturday Susan.
Prayers for all.

Barb, so sorry about all the cold temps, be safe and stay as warm as possible, sorry about James not able to come with Kaelyn having a cough, it’s best they stay home to keep Mariposa and Annabella safe from getting sick. Thank you for your kind words glad that sharing about Stan’s prematurity helped you knowing Annabella will do well also. My prayers are with all your family. Thanks for cheering me on as I keep maintaining my weight.
Linda, sorry about your washer, so true our appliances don’t last as long as they once did. Hope you can find a new washer at a good price. So glad you got your dishwasher fixed. Good news! Appreciate your words of encouragement!
Have a blessed evening and weekend ahead! Love and Hugs ❤️🤗🙏0 -
Hello friends. Sorry for not updating you before. We' very been a little distracted by Colin health issues. He is doing better after being monitored in hospital overnight. I think he got quite concerned about how much damage the heart attack did. The hospital seemed to reassure him that he needed to take things quietly and they will have his back if he gets worse. We have a GP appointment on Monday to discuss some test results. Thank you all for praying.
I am thinking of you all experiencing deep cold, health issues, family concerns and uncertainties. You are all in my prayers.1 -
Susan you have been on my heart and in my prayers since I first heard Colin was in hospital. I am thankful Colin is encouraged knowing all Doctors and specialists at the hospital are right there with him every step of the way. At the same time I can understand he would be worried about how much damage the heart attack did to his heart Praying for wisdom for all the Doctors to know what is the best treatment is for Colin. I hope the appointment you have Monday with the GP will have some solid answers regarding the Test Results. Praying for Peace and Strength for Colin and yourself Susan. Of course I am praying for Healing for Colin!
Praying for everyone here too for all the needs that are represented. God Bless you all! ❤️🙏🤗0 -
