<span class="userContent"><span style="color: #0b5394;"><span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: x-large;"><strong></strong></span></span></span><br />
<span class="userContent"><span style="color: #0b5394;"><span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><strong>No way I can possibly answer each one of you but your words and prayers have literally kept us sane today. Jacks blockage appears to be 100 percent at least that's what the cat scans show...We have had 4.</strong></span> <br /><br /> <span style="font-size: x-large;"><strong>He needs an MRI but cannot have one because he had a back surgery 20 something years ago and has a bone stimulator in his stomach that I had even forgotten about....</strong></span></span></span></span><br />
<span class="userContent"><span style="color: #0b5394;"><span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: x-large;"><strong></strong></span></span></span><br />
<span class="userContent"><span style="color: #0b5394;"><span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><strong>Well today it was <span style="background-color: cyan;">VERY IMPORTANT</span> because an MRI is better for a vascular surgeon to see if it is 95, 96, 97 or whatever blockages....Every point matters...Like life or death matters maybe...</strong></span><br /><br /> <span style="font-size: x-large;">You can imagine I am bawling my eyes out as I type.. This has been my man for 41 years. And then up pops a message a minute ago from a kid who is now a man that we love like our son...He lives in Washington D.C. and is a Marine. He is the BEST of the BEST. He loves Coach so much...and this is what he said to me when I explained to him our situation and that Jack was so calm.</span> <br /><br /> <span style="font-size: x-large;"><strong>So I will just quote Mike </strong></span></span></span></span><br />
<span class="userContent"><span style="color: #0b5394;"><span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><strong>Ms. Teresa, <br /> "The back thing tends to complicate matters. Well, Coach ought to have a pretty good line on knowing <span style="background-color: #6fa8dc;">WHO</span> is in control. He's been face down in a hotel room for hours waiting on help. This is probably pretty easy.</strong></span> <br /><br /> <span style="font-size: large;">So I am going to sleep a few hours on that... Please keep praying.</span></span></span></span>Teresa @ Grammy Girlfriendhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05151128140345216126noreply@blogger.com22tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5301634665460063076.post-89573073805906133082013-07-23T04:47:00.003-05:002013-07-23T05:11:23.513-05:00PRAYER<span style="color: red; font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace; font-size: x-large;"><span style="color: #0b5394;"><strong>It is 4 AM and I may not have a reader left. </strong></span></span><br />
<span style="color: red; font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace; font-size: x-large;"><span style="color: #0b5394;"><strong></strong></span></span><br />
<span style="color: red; font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace; font-size: x-large;"><strong><span style="color: #0b5394;">My blogging has been so sporadic that I would certainly understand that. Many of you are my Facebook friends so you already know this. But in my book, there is NO SUCH THING as too much prayer.</span> </strong></span><br />
<span style="color: red; font-family: Courier New; font-size: x-large;"><strong></strong></span><br />
<span style="color: #3d85c6; font-family: Courier New; font-size: x-large;"><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;"><strong>Jack had a stroke today.</strong></span> </span><br />
<span style="color: #3d85c6; font-family: Courier New; font-size: x-large;"><strong></strong></span><br />
<span style="color: #3d85c6; font-family: Courier New; font-size: x-large;"><strong><span style="color: #0b5394;">I am just getting home from</span></strong> <strong><span style="color: #0b5394;">the hospital for a few hours. We think it was a minor one but has had several episodes in the last few months. I say episodes as we are not sure what has happened. There will be some tests tomorrow checking his carotid artery and some other things</span>.</strong> </span><br />
<strong><span style="color: red; font-family: Courier New; font-size: x-large;"></span></strong><br />
<strong><span style="color: red; font-family: Courier New; font-size: x-large;"><span style="color: #0b5394;">Maybe we just need a new med. That's my prayer. He had been doing so good.</span> </span></strong><br />
<span style="color: red; font-family: Courier New; font-size: x-large;"></span><br />
<span style="color: red; font-family: Courier New; font-size: x-large;"><span style="color: #0b5394;"><strong>On this same day I found out one of my tree customers of 15 years died ....so its been one horrible day. I am still shaking.</strong></span> </span><br />
<strong><span style="color: red; font-family: Courier New; font-size: x-large;"></span></strong><br />
<strong><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: Courier New; font-size: x-large;">So I ask that you pray and I will update tomorrow night....I promise....</span></strong><br />
<strong><span style="color: red; font-family: Courier New; font-size: x-large;"></span></strong><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: Courier New; font-size: x-large;"><strong>Amanda's family was at the beach last week so I will share a few pictures that bring a smile to my face.</strong></span><br />

</h3>
<h3>
I am still a BLOGGER, <span style="background-color: #eeeeee;">just a very BAD one.</span> So many days I have sat down at the computer ready to share my current life, only to have writers block. I have so many posts in my head, in my heart, just not typed out. </h3>
<h3>
This has been the <span style="background-color: #cccccc;">YEAR of CHANGE</span> in our lives. With Amanda and Micah and the boys moving to Katy, life has been <span style="background-color: #a2c4c9;">anything</span> but normal. </h3>
<h3>
And I love NORMAL. It is no secret to anyone that I HATE CHANGE. </h3>
<h3>
This change equaled none I had ever faced. I have failed miserably at this test. MISERABLY. I have never experienced physical pain that compared to the heart pain I have had this year. </h3>
<h3>
Parker and Jack were as much a part of our family on a daily basis as Jack and I are. And then they were gone. Five hours away and neither like to talk on the phone. Just imagine me on my knees praying "God, please give them a love for the phone." Instead I would hear in the background, "Is it Grammy?" Meaning neither wanted to have to talk. SIGH!! then CRY! </h3>

<strong><span style="font-size: large;"></span></strong><br />
<strong><span style="font-size: large;">Instead of me explaining the surgery, I am going to use Maries words to me this week. </span></strong><br />
<strong><span style="font-size: large;"></span></strong><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-size: large;"><em><strong>They will be reimplanting his ureters through his bladder and repairing his bladder neck. He will have stints coming out of his belly through his bladder into his kidneys. Its risky at his age. Also its risky because his quality of life rides on it. If it works to keep him from renal failure, its successful. If his kidney/bladder infections, kidneys and blood pressure decline, its unsuccessful. If unsuccessful, they will pull his ureters to the skin and create a new type of exstrophy. At around 5 years old they would build a bigger bladder. That means he would have to cath himself everyday, and I would until he could. So its really stressful. We a dreading this surgery so much more than the previous ones, besides the first. We were told to plan to stay at least a week. So who knows really. We've been told lots of things that don't ever happen. It will be a long surgery. But we are trying to stay positive the best we can. Hope your doing well! </strong></em></span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-size: large;"><em><strong>All my love...<br />Marie</strong></em></span><br />
<span style="color: #134f5c; font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="color: black; font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: large;"><strong>We made a deal that she has permission ANYTIME to vent to me late at night or anytime for that matter....It's is so hard on her and a 24-7 job, plus three other small children ...this was one message just so that you know she is struggling....</strong></span><br />
<span style="color: #134f5c;"></span><br />
<strong><span style="background-color: #cccccc; color: #3d85c6; font-size: large;"><em>His blood pressure is still hard to control, and they fear a stroke. His kidney disease is irreversible so there's nothing they can do for that. He is pretty miserable but still tries to play and smile, which breaks my heart. He's such a good boy, I wish I could be better for him. I have a hard to showing my weaknesses. I'm just so far past that point I've cried to strangers lately. I love you.</em></span></strong><br />
<span style="color: #134f5c; font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="color: #134f5c; font-size: large;"><strong>This next week please ask God to give Marie strength, energy, peace, and assurance that he has Crew in his hands. I cannot imagine handing him off to the doctors Tuesday morning. If you get a chance send her a short note. </strong></span><br />

<span style="color: #134f5c; font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="color: #134f5c; font-size: large;">One more thing...I know some of you are wondering...I have been getting email...<span style="background-color: #cccccc;">Am I still juicing?</span> </span><br />
<span style="color: #134f5c; font-size: large;">YES</span><br />
<span style="color: #134f5c; font-size: large;">I have not missed a day in 18 weeks. Even that blows my mind. </span><br />
<span style="color: #134f5c; font-size: large;">But the <span style="background-color: #eeeeee;">good news</span> is Jack is too. The last three weeks were filled with cardiac and pulmonary tests (just check-ups) ! His numbers were so improved that even his doctors were a little shocked. <span style="background-color: #cccccc;">Really shocked.</span> His EF was up 12 points. All his breathing tests were in the doctors words, remarkably BETTER. All I am going to say is THE ONLY THING we have done DIFFERENT is JUICE. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="background-color: #eeeeee; color: #073763;">I have so many other things to share. </span><a href="http://ashleyadamsjournal.blogspot.com/"><strong><span style="background-color: #eeeeee; color: #073763;"> Ashley Adams</span></strong></a><span style="background-color: #eeeeee; color: #073763;"> needs prayer. One of my ELVES has a little two year old girl, Casyn Claire, that has been diagnosed with </span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #073763;"><span style="background-color: #eeeeee;">Familial Mediterranean Fever. It was confirmed at Texas Children's Hospital this week. Please pray for her. It's an ugly disease that little is known about.</span> </span></span><br />
<span style="color: #134f5c; font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="color: red; font-size: large;"><strong>ON A HAPPY NOTE</strong></span><br />
<span style="color: #134f5c; font-size: large;">One of my dearest friends has just started blogging...</span><br />
<span style="color: #134f5c; font-size: large;">PLEASE go and <a href="http://proverbialwife.blogspot.com/"><span style="background-color: white; color: #cc0000;">VISIT HER</span></a><span style="background-color: white; color: #cc0000;">.</span> Christi has the gift of writing. She has three posts up and they are <span style="color: #cc0000;">ALL THREE GOOD</span>. Tell her you are my friend. She writes nice and neat and I write all over the place in every color. </span><br />
<span style="color: #134f5c; font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="color: #134f5c; font-size: large;">If you have not bought <a href="http://newsok.com/article/3823508"><span style="color: #cc0000;">Amy Grant's new CD</span></a>, it is worth every dime. </span><br />

<h3>
<span style="font-size: large;">This morning Jack woke up so sick. Amanda took him to the doctor and he has the FLU. He looks so sad. I am sad I am not there to HUG him...So now we all start on Tamiflu. <a href="http://teresa-grammygirlfriend.blogspot.com/2013/02/what-sweet-weekend.html">Considering we slept with him both nights</a> he was here and I probably kissed him 1,000 times, I would imagine I am exposed. Please pray for Pop (Jack) too that he does not get it. He sure does not need anything else now.</span> </h3>
<br />
<strong><span style="font-size: large;">I thought the flu was coming to an end. Guess I was wrong. He is running fever and looks so pitiful. I just talked to Amanda and he has not been out of the bed all day. For a FIVE year old that is BIG.</span></strong><br />
<strong><span style="font-size: large;"></span></strong><br />
<strong><span style="font-size: large;">Pray that Amanda stays well. She has so many things on her plate this week. Parker is having some foot surgery and then next week his wisdom teeth out. When it rains it POURS...and its literally pouring here in Shreveport now. We are under a tornado watch. </span></strong><br />
<strong><span style="font-size: large;"></span></strong><br />
<strong><span style="font-size: large;">Thanks for praying.....and if you have not seen <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1702439/">SAFE HAVEN</a>, go see it...It is great. </span></strong>Teresa @ Grammy Girlfriendhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05151128140345216126noreply@blogger.com9tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5301634665460063076.post-27661511693152464962013-02-20T08:15:00.000-06:002013-02-20T08:18:01.065-06:00WHAT A SWEET WEEKEND<h2>
What a glorious weekend....I had planned to post before now, but had some taxes to work on. Friday brought my Houston kids home for a long weekend. Amanda and Micah had some things to do, so Parker went to his Dad's and we had JACK all to ourselves for 2 days. HEAVEN. We did whatever Jack wanted , whenever he wanted it. I don't think a smile left my face. And even though 2 Jacks', Happy and me in one bed is too many, I found myself staring at that sweet boy most of the night. He owns my heart. </h2>
<h2>
</h2>
<h2>
Sunday we met up with Greg and his boys for a Chucky Cheese run and then a great meal...We missed Dana who had a previous commitment..</h2>
<h2>
Micah had a date with the golf course so it was Amanda and Greg and the boys. All of us celebrating how much better Jack looked than the Sunday two weeks previous. God is Good. </h2>

<span style="font-size: large;">I am posting this as I got some HATE comments from bloggers for talking about the juicing and not giving you enough information....Of course they did not sign them......but it was a shock....so I am posting a letter my ELF buddy and I sent to some friends here that wanted some INFORMATION. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">This is our story...</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span><style><font size="5">.AOLWebSuite .AOLPicturesFullSizeLink { height: 1px; width: 1px; overflow: hidden; } .AOLWebSuite a {color:blue; text-decoration: underline; cursor: pointer} .AOLWebSuite a.hsSig {cursor: default} .AOLWebSuiteM1 {margin: 10px 20px;} .AOLWebSuiteM2 {margin: 5px;} .AOLWebSuiteM3 {margin: 10px;} .dmItemSelected {padding: 2px !important;text-decoration: none !important;color:#fff !important;background-color: #656565 !important;border-radius: 2px;}</font></style><span style="font-size: large;">
</span><br />
<div id="AOLMsgPart_1_7e349324-bc90-49ea-9c4e-60f28f4f359d">
<span style="font-size: large;">So many of you have emailed Terri and me about juicing. This is going to be my story and Terri may add a few things. She is busy getting ready for the Junior League show. I am almost scared to tell you what I know because if you know me well, you will find this very hard to believe.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">After tree season and take down, Terri and I had both been battling upper respiratory infections, feeling generally YUK, no energy, and both needed to drop some weight...AND get our blood pressure down. I think we both realized we are not 30 anymore and just because we can work 12 hours a day our bodies were beginning to rebel.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">So on a Sunday, a month ago, she told me she was going on a fruit and vegetable juice fast. (Number 1) I don't like fruits and vegetables, hardly know an apple from an orange and sure did not know what kale was (number 2) At church when they would ask people to raise their hands if they would commit to fast for someone sick, I would slip out to the bathroom, as I did not want to lie, I could not FAST. (just being honest) But she said "please do it with me" and "let's get healthy"!</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">So she started on a Sunday and I started on a Monday four weeks ago. I told one person. Mainly because I figured I would be off by Wednesday. My first questions were "do I have to give up coffee and diet coke"? She said just do what you can, she was going to drink 1 cup of coffee ....So that was my plan. Let me insert I have had a Diet Coke everyday for the last 25 or 30 years. Not 4 or 5 but at least one. And coffee was just a given. So there was no plans to give that up.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">This is absolutely essential...<span style="background-color: yellow;">GET A GOOD JUICER</span>....I tried the cheap one and you will not juice long. I got the one the website we refer to often, suggested. But there are other good ones. Terri has a Sharper Image. Breville is the brand on the Reboot with Joe website and the one I bought from Best Buy. They have several models to pick from.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">The produce part of the grocery store was only something I passed as on my way to cheese and crackers. I doubt Terri had ever seen me eat a vegetable other than a baked potato and we are together a lot. I really doubt if she has ever seen me eat a piece of fruit. She has seen me drink a lot of coffee, eat a lot of chicken salad, bread, cheese, crackers, potato soup, drink a lot of energy drinks, ...you get the picture...So no one is more surprised this worked for me than her. (Insert by Terri - yes, it's a miracle)</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">I started off saying I would do it three days and take a day off and then three more days..and that is what I did. The fourth day I went to one of my favorite places and ate my favorite meal and called her from the parking lot and told her I could only eat half my food and it was just OK....I needed some juice. I thought that must be a fluke so I juiced for three more days and then went to my second favorite place, Cush's for my much loved chicken salad. I ate two bites of half a sandwich. Now I am scared. What if I don't like food anymore? Then I just decided to juice and see how long I could....I would eat some nuts thru the day..but I was not interested in an apple...I wanted, no I craved juice. Now please don't laugh...You all know I don't cook, but it was so therapeutic to chop the fruit and vegetables. My fridge looked like the Farmers Market...I would call Terri from the grocery store talking low and ask her what a certain thing looked like. And ginger root..."Terri, Where is it in the store?" and then I saw it....and it was so ugly.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">I listed a website below that answers all the questions you could possible have and we have referred to it often. Then I would be messaging Terri with a new discovery. We have been walking several miles a couple of times of week and all we talk about is how we feel different...Not THIN, but less THICK. or "What if we have not lost a pound"? or the best one was "look at my bra....its missing two oranges", then "I could move my bra over two notches"! I had this one friend that saw me once a week and every Monday she would say "You have lost weight"! Then my clothes were getting lose..Here is the clincher. I was never hungry...well maybe a few times and my stomach never growled and I was putting more fruits and vegetables in my body than they had had in 25 years. Energy was back. I really felt and feel like I had been "rebooted"! And no you do not stay in the bathroom all day, but I have peed my brains out. Terri was a little more rigid than me but she kept telling me to do it my way...That's what I would tell you. In 30 days, I had 7 meals...Besides that I juiced all day. I could not get enough. After two weeks I went to an already scheduled doctors app. He was so impressed that he took me off 1 blood pressure med...High blood pressure runs in my family, especially in women. Last night I took mine and it was <span style="background-color: yellow;">115/72.</span> And guess what...I have not had nor wanted one DIET COKE. They are in the fridge, I just do not want one.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Last week Jack was in the hospital for 4 days....Stress and Panic...What would I do...I should have never worried ..Terri juiced for me everyday and either put it in my fridge or brought it to the hospital. That's a friend...We had not been at the ER an hour when here she came with two full jars of juice and I was never so glad to see her.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">About Thurs of last week I realized I had not had a cup of coffee all week...Hospital coffee is so gross...and when I got home I just would wake up wanting juice. Strange and I cannot explain it.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">I love making up recipes...The things my fridge is filled with and what I have juiced so far are celery, carrots, kale, ginger root, kale, pineapple, grapes, blueberries, strawberries, pears, tons of cucumbers,parsley. every kind of apple, every kind of orange, tangerines, honeydew melons, peaches, spinach, kiwi, blackberries, cabbage, purple lettuce, raspberries, lemons, limes, and mangos. I probably have left some out. ALWAYS OVER CRUSHED ICE.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">If you watch this movie below on Netflix you will really consider this....</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">During this time neither of us had weighed...We were just going by what we weighed at our last doctors app (my doctor did not make me weigh when I had just started the juice) so for both of us it had been six months...For me I knew I had gained even more. I had gradually put on 25 pounds in 2 years. Jacks stroke 2 years ago and then when Amanda's family moved to Katy last July , I probably gained 15 pounds in a few weeks just so depressed I could not function. I had no motivation..I was doing good to get up everyday. I met Mr. Depression like I had never known. To be really honest I saw a counselor for the first time in my life. So every part of my body needed a <span style="background-color: yellow;">REBOOT.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">It has now been a month for both of us. Terri went to the doctor yesterday and had lost 14 pounds. I woke up this morning and decided it was time to at least look at the scales. I much prefer going by my clothes...but was happy to see I had lost 11.5 pounds.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">I don't call this a diet. For the first time ever I am not afraid to go out of town, to go out to eat, to go to a birthday party, (that was always my thought on diets) because the juice will be there as soon as I get home. Jack even loves it and drinks a big glass every night.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Terri knows a lot more of the technical stuff about why this is working. We will be glad to answer any questions or ask Terri's daughter in law, as Olga has been juicing for a year. She is also 35 years younger than us and weighs 120. Olga lost about 40 lbs. and still juices and eats healthy to maintain her weight.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">The web sites below have taught me everything I know plus you can also get a juice recipe in your email everyday. We have also found out that a lot of people have been juicing for a long time. This is not new.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">I keep thinking I am going to wake up and crave food again. In the last month all I have really craved is juice..Me drinking kale and celery makes even me laugh.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Now a word from Terri</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">I never imagined juicing would be for Teresa, but I must say I'm thrilled she jumped on board with me. And she hates veggies - that is before she started juicing.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Juicing on any level whether a fast, just for breakfast or any meal will give you so many wonderful benefits. The reason for the suggested fast is to allow your intestinal tract to rest from digesting solid food and to detox. Juice absorbs into your cells within 15 minutes whereas food after being cooked, chewed and digesting does not give you the same powerful nutritional benefit. The other reason to juice is you can't possible consume the volume of raw foods to get as much as you would by juicing them.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">I suggest watching "Fat, Sick and Nearly Dead" by Joe Cross. You can watch it on Netflix, or go to this website for more info on it. </span><a href="http://www.fatsickandnearlydead.com/" target="_blank"><span style="font-size: large;">http://www.fatsickandnearlydead.com/</span></a><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Another great film is "Hungry for Change" also on Netflix.</span><a href="http://www.hungryforchange.tv/" target="_blank"><span style="font-size: large;">http://www.hungryforchange.tv/</span></a><span style="font-size: large;"> You will be shocked to find out what our processed foods and animal products do to our health.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Watch "Food Matters".</span><a href="http://www.foodmatters.tv/" target="_blank"><span style="font-size: large;">http://www.foodmatters.tv/</span></a><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Another great book and film is "Forks Over Knives" how to eat a more plant based diet for health.</span><a href="http://www.forksoverknives.com/" target="_blank"><span style="font-size: large;">http://www.forksoverknives.com</span></a><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">For me I was inspired to juice and eat healthy because I watched these documentaries and read as much as I could get my hands on. Once I understood the science of food and how it affects my body I knew I had to change.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">I recommend you spend at least a week preparing to juice. Watch the videos, read the blogs, shop for your juicer and supplies (no food yet). You will be more successful if you are prepared. Most every question you will have is there.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Besides your juicer you will need glass canning jars or glass containers to store your juice. DO NOT USE PLASTIC. A citrus peeler is helpful. It works best to begin juicing when you have a couple of days to spend on it maybe a weekend. I'm preparing juice every other day making enough to last. You will find what works best for you. Juice can last about 48 hours or longer in the refrigerator.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Juice the rainbow - vary your recipes, but keep the ratio 80% veg to 20% fruit. There are thousands of recipes.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">So now you just have to do it. Get ready for healthy results - lower blood pressure, reduced cholesterol, stable blood sugar, glowing skin, more energy, a great sense of clarity and well being.</span><br />

<strong><span style="color: #cc0000; font-size: x-large;">I think in Random. </span></strong><br />
<strong><span style="color: #cc0000; font-size: x-large;">I speak in Random. </span></strong><strong><span style="color: #cc0000; font-size: x-large;"> </span></strong><br />
<strong><span style="color: #cc0000; font-size: x-large;">So I blog in Random. </span></strong><br />
<strong><span style="color: #cc0000; font-size: x-large;"></span></strong><br />
<strong><span style="color: #cc0000; font-size: x-large;">First off, today is my boys birthday. He is too OLD, which makes me a lot older. And yet I remember vividly everything that happened on that day 39 years ago. How does that work? I can't remember a phone number five seconds. Greg and his family spent the weekend in Katy with Amanda and her family. I was so sad not to be there, but here are a few snapshots. </span></strong><br />

<strong><span style="font-size: large;"></span></strong><br />
<strong><span style="font-size: large;"></span></strong><br />
<strong><span style="font-size: large;">I am so proud of Greg and the man he has become. He is the hardest worker, most loving husband, SUPER DAD, most fun Uncle, biggest giver, (you cannot out give this boy), and he loves his Mom and Dad. </span></strong><br />
<strong><span style="font-size: large;">So today I CELEBRATE MY BOY!</span></strong><br />
<strong><span style="font-size: large;"></span></strong><br />
<strong><span style="font-size: large;"></span></strong><br />
<strong><span style="font-size: large;">Moving on! <span style="background-color: #cccccc;">Jack is home</span> from the hospital after a 4 day stay. It turned out that he just needed a little medicine tune up. He gave us a huge scare. It has been 28 months since his stroke so I guess one hospital stay is not bad. He had an upper respiratory infection along with some other things. I am so glad to have him home. There is something about the hospital that just wears you out. </span></strong><br />
<strong><span style="font-size: large;"></span></strong><br />
<strong><span style="font-size: large;"></span></strong><br />
<strong><span style="color: #cc0000; font-size: large;">A little update on the <span style="background-color: #eeeeee;">JUICING</span>. I got so many emails about it, wanting to know more. I am almost afraid to talk about it. Today is a month. I don't want to say to much, </span></strong><br />
<strong><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #cc0000;"><span style="background-color: cyan;">BUT IT IS WORKING</span>!!!!! I feel better, my clothes are loose, my rings are falling off, people that don't know what I am doing are staring to say, <span style="background-color: #cccccc;">"You have lost weight"!</span> I have moved my bra snap over two notches, but I HAVE NOT WEIGHED. My blood pressure has been so low...I have been taking it every night, just because I cannot believe it. The last two nights its been 115/76. So I know I am doing something good for my body. And for the first time ever I am not "scared of the diet"! I am not afraid of going off, going out of town, eating out..IT has just become a new way of life. I CRAVE the JUICE. I have not had a diet coke since I have been on it and had no desire. Now I am juicing all through the day and eating a meal of whatever sounds good. I just don't have the appetite to eat very much. I don't understand it. I have not wanted sweets at all. And that is so not me.. </span></span></strong><br />
<strong><span style="color: #cc0000; font-size: x-large;">So its a mystery. My stomach has never growled and I am not hungry. Some of you may no more about juicing and can explain it to me. </span></strong><br />
<strong><span style="color: #cc0000; font-size: large;"></span></strong><br />
<span style="color: #cc0000;"> </span><br />
<span style="color: black; font-size: large;"><strong><span style="font-size: x-large;">An update on Crew...He is better but continues to fight one infection after another. So keep him on your prayer list. His sweet Mom stays exhausted.</span></strong> </span><br />

That never happened. </span></strong><br />
<strong><span style="color: blue; font-size: x-large;"></span></strong><br />
<strong><span style="color: blue; font-size: x-large;">Friday morning Jack became sick with what he thought was just upper respiratory infection. He had stayed well all thru flu season. To make a long story short he went to a Quick Care, his chest Xray looked OK and they gave him steroids and an antibiotic. </span></strong><br />
<strong><span style="color: blue; font-size: x-large;"></span></strong><br />
<strong><span style="color: blue; font-size: x-large;">Saturday morning we had planned to get up and leave if he felt better. He felt much worse, but still did not want to go to the ER. He hates the hospital. He continued to get worse all day and I was getting more scared. </span></strong><br />
<strong><span style="color: blue; font-size: x-large;"></span></strong><br />
<strong><span style="color: blue; font-size: x-large;">He could not breath and was getting weaker by the hour. He was adamant about not calling the ambulance...So Greg came and took him to the ER but by this time he could barely walk and was dehydrated and looked horrible. Every breath was a struggle. </span></strong><br />
<strong><span style="color: blue; font-size: x-large;"></span></strong><br />
<strong><span style="color: blue; font-size: x-large;">He was CRITICAL when we arrived at the ER. The next XRay showed congestive heart failure and a COPD flare-up complicated by the upper respiratory infection. So today has been horrible. </span></strong><br />
<strong><span style="color: blue; font-size: x-large;"></span></strong><br />
<strong><span style="color: blue; font-size: x-large;">They admitted him and started him on IV Lasix and cortisone. By late tonight I think he is stable and looking much better. Please be in prayer for him. He is our rock....I am really too tired to connect two words together but knew my sweet blog friends would pray. I will keep you posted....Teresa</span></strong><br />

So this went on until this morning at the Dr. They don't know where the vomiting is coming from but he has a worse ear infection then before! So it could be a kidney infection.

<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">I am finally finished taking down trees, well all but mine....</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="background-color: cyan; color: #351c75;"><strong>I have so many cute pictures....but for some reason for two weeks blogger will not let me load pictures...</strong></span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="background-color: cyan; color: #351c75;"><strong></strong></span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="background-color: cyan; color: #351c75;"><strong>never had a problem before.</strong></span> </span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">So excited that two brothers are going to meet in the SUPER BOWL. Neither were my original teams, but I think it will be a great game...The play off games were so good. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Even though I have not blogged recently I have been reading blogs and so enjoyed catching up. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Of course I have been pinning...<a href="http://pinterest.com/tpowell2/pins/">http://pinterest.com/tpowell2/pins/</a> and have just a few pins....almost 100,000! It is such a relaxing thing to me. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">I spent most of December sick with bronchitis. I took mega meds. A couple of weeks ago Terri, my ELF, and I were both looking for ways to get healthier and did some study on juicing..</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">For the past 7 days I have been on a juice fast (she is on her 9th day) and <span style="background-color: cyan;">I am not hungry.</span> Never in my life have I had cravings just leave. I have not been hungry and have had more energy than in months. I have had one meal in seven days. If you knew me well, you would know that is a miracle. So I am encouraged I may have found something to get some fruits and vegetables in my body in mass. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">I hesitated about even blogging about it, but I know so many people juicing in some form or another, that I decided it might be something you have some tips on.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">My doctor even took me off a blood pressure pill today and we are going to relook at it in three months.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">In a week we celebrate Jack's 5th birthday. I still miss the kids everyday. I guess I always will. He is having a SUPER HERO PARTY at the cutest place in HOUSTON. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">OK, HELP ME OUT WITH BLOGGER.....and PICTURES...</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Have a great week!!</span><br />

<span style="color: red; font-family: Georgia; font-size: x-large;"><strong></strong></span><br />
<span style="color: red; font-family: Georgia; font-size: x-large;"><strong>I got on Priceline and got a 4/5 Star Hotel on the River walk for a GREAT price. So this morning in a dreary rain we drove a few hours and have been having fun all afternoon and night...Nothing like a little GET AWAY with family. </strong></span><br />
<span style="color: red; font-family: Georgia; font-size: x-large;"><strong></strong></span><br />
<span style="color: red; font-family: Georgia; font-size: x-large;"><strong>Parker got to bring a friend so he was a HAPPY CAMPER and the RIVER WALK Center had a DISNEY STORE, so JACK is now A VERY HAPPY CAMPER AND I am 135.00 poorer...but of the joy in saying whatever you want. That's what Grammy is for. </strong></span><br />
<span style="color: red; font-family: Georgia; font-size: x-large;"><strong></strong></span><br />
<span style="color: red; font-family: Georgia; font-size: x-large;"><strong>Amanda and I got chair massages and then shopped all the sales. I still love to pamper my girl, though her husband does a REALLY good job. </strong></span><br />
<span style="color: red; font-family: Georgia; font-size: x-large;"><strong></strong></span><br />
<span style="color: red; font-family: Georgia; font-size: x-large;"><strong>We found a great little Mexican restaurant...super good. Now we are back in our rooms and Jack, Micah and Amanda are having a drink at the bar and watching A&M play. I am catching up on blogs .....and much more comfortable...in the bed watching the game. The boys are in the next room playing XBOX..</strong></span><br />
<span style="color: red; font-family: Georgia; font-size: x-large;"><strong></strong></span><br />
<span style="color: red; font-family: Georgia; font-size: x-large;"><strong>Tomorrow we have a full day planned and maybe a Cinderella ride in the the beautiful decorated carriages. Perfect weather. </strong></span><br />
<span style="color: red; font-family: Georgia; font-size: x-large;"><strong></strong></span><br />
<span style="color: red; font-family: Georgia; font-size: x-large;"><strong>For some reason blogger will not let me add pictures tonight....Maybe tomorrow......</strong></span><br />
<span style="color: red; font-family: Georgia; font-size: x-large;"><strong></strong></span><br />
<span style="color: red; font-family: Georgia; font-size: x-large;"><strong>I am so trying to get back in the groove of blogging....</strong></span><br />
<span style="color: red; font-family: Georgia; font-size: x-large;"><strong></strong></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: x-large;"><span style="background-color: #ffe599; color: red;"><strong>Tomorrow I will announce winner of card box.</strong></span></span><br />

<strong><span style="color: #444444; font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: x-large;">The Christmas cards are not mailed (I am planning a Jan letter), the gifts got wrapped, and Christmas came and went. We all survived. It was not Norman Rockwell, but it was GOOD. </span></strong><br />
<strong><span style="color: #444444; font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: x-large;"></span></strong><br />
<strong><span style="color: #444444; font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: x-large;">Our Christmas was probably like most of yours...little ones everywhere, toys as far as the eye could see, wrapping paper piled up...gifts lost..gifts found..</span></strong><br />
<strong><span style="color: #444444; font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: x-large;">we even had an ER visit as Micah woke up so sick and found out he had pneumonia. </span></strong><br />
<strong><span style="color: #444444; font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: x-large;"></span></strong><br />
<strong><span style="color: #444444; font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: x-large;">After waiting 3 hours in the ER it took another hour to find a pharmacy that had all five of the scripts he needed. </span></strong><br />
<strong><span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: x-large;"><span style="background-color: #ffd966; color: #444444;">But we were all together...<span style="background-color: white;">and that is what mattered. We had weathered some storms in 2012 but came out standing on solid ground. </span></span></span></strong><br />
<strong><span style="color: #444444; font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: x-large;"></span></strong><br />
<strong><span style="color: #444444; font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: x-large;">Dana and Amanda prepared a delicious lunch. I contributed little. I am so glad they are both such great cooks. </span></strong><br />
<strong><span style="color: #444444; font-family: Times; font-size: x-large;"></span></strong><br />
<strong><span style="color: #444444; font-family: Times; font-size: x-large;"><span style="background-color: white;">Amanda and Micah headed home on </span><span style="background-color: white;">Wednesday</span><span style="background-color: white;"> </span>afternoon and left the boys here for a WEEK! </span></strong><br />
<strong><span style="color: #444444; font-family: Times; font-size: x-large;"></span></strong><br />
<strong><span style="color: #444444; font-family: Times; font-size: x-large;"><span style="background-color: #ffe599;">ONE ENTIRE</span> week with the little men I have SO missed. </span></strong><br />
<strong><span style="color: #444444; font-family: Times; font-size: x-large;">Parker is spending some time with his Dad but Jack is with us. </span></strong><br />
<strong><span style="color: #444444; font-family: Times; font-size: x-large;"></span></strong><br />
<strong><span style="color: #444444; font-family: Times; font-size: x-large;"><span style="background-color: #ffd966;">Color me H.A.P.P.Y.</span></span></strong><br />
<strong><span style="color: #444444; font-family: Times; font-size: x-large;"></span></strong><br />
<strong><span style="color: #444444; font-family: Times; font-size: x-large;">We have spent four days doing whatever Jack wanted to do. We have watched movies, played games, and I think I have had a smile on my face the entire time. We also have his puppy Ella Sue (LSU)! </span></strong><br />
<strong><span style="color: #444444; font-family: Times; font-size: x-large;">She and HAPPY have become semi good friends. Two puppies are <span style="background-color: #ffd966;">HIGH MAINTENANCE</span>. </span></strong><br />
<strong><span style="color: #444444; font-family: Times; font-size: x-large;"></span></strong><br />
<strong><span style="color: #444444; font-family: Times; font-size: x-large;">Here are a few snapshots from the month of December...You will notice Parker and Austin are absent in most. At their age they are not fond of the camera...</span></strong><br />

I have been such a lousy blogger. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif; font-size: large;"></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">IT is the middle of the night on December 22, my birthday. Not that you need to know it is my birthday, but that it is 3 days before Christmas.</span> Three days before the day I work for all year. One days before the kids get here.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">I have decked the halls of homes all over town and even other towns, mine is decked....thanks to my ELF, Terri. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Gifts are bought but <span style="background-color: yellow;">NOT ONE THING IS WRAPPED! </span></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="background-color: yellow;"></span></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: yellow;"><span style="background-color: white; font-size: large;">Not one Christmas gift delivered, not one Christmas card sent out. A neatly typed <span style="background-color: lime;">to do</span> list is right before me and I cannot find the energy to do one thing. </span></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: large;">All I want to do is lay on the couch and cry. I want to forget, I want to make a difference, I want to call a family, I want to drive to Conn. and leave flowers. I want to do anything but celebrate a holiday. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: large;">After tree season, Jack and I took a week trip..We spent the first 4 days in Dallas at his company Christmas party and seminar. I was sick as in coughing up a lung every hour. I picked up some cousin to the flu and it has not let go. So I just slept in the hotel and did little else...and then early that fateful morning my ipad went off with a CNN update. <span style="background-color: yellow;">SCHOOL SHOOTING</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: large;">I even went back to sleep as I thought maybe one or two kids were shot, which has become a monthly news update. When I did turn on the TV, what I saw was <span style="background-color: yellow;">not </span>even believable. </span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br /></div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: large;">I have 3 grandchildren that fall in that age group. Dear God, not five year olds. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: large;">I cried until I was even sicker. We managed to make it through the convention and Amanda and Micah had ask us to come to Houston and stay with Jack and Parker while they went on a little trip. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: large;"></span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: Verdana;"><span style="font-size: large;"> <span style="color: red;"> </span></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;"><span style="color: red; font-size: large;"> <span style="color: black;"> <span style="background-color: #999999;">A Boy that needed to see his POP</span></span></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="background-color: yellow;">Diversion</span>, oh how I needed it. So for three days I watched as little TV as possible. I just loved on the kids, had a spa day (thank you Amanda) !! </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: large;">I knew it was just a matter of time until I returned to reality. Every song I heard made me cry, every poem, every parent interview, every news report.... Christmas please go away. Maybe no one but me feels like this. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: large;">At the same time, little <a href="https://www.facebook.com/#!/PrayersForBabyCrew?fref=ts">Crew</a> is so sick. What a battle that little man has fought this year and still fighting. His Mom is so weary. She has three other little ones too. <a href="http://ashleyadamsjournal.blogspot.com/">Sweet Ashley</a> is going through bad times. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: large;">We finally got home late last night and I realized all I had NOT done....When I saw the stack of Christmas cards..I was reminded mine were just in my head and not in an envelope. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: large;">There are sacks and sacks and unopened online bought gifts unopened and certainly not wrapped with pretty bows. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: large;">I had one last tree and wreath to make for a client this morning. I got up and got that done and went back to bed, as if someone would magically appear and get everything else done... No one appeared and its all still staring at me. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: large;">It almost seems irreverent to celebrate anything right now. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: large;">We picked up out sweet HAPPY today... a good friend had kept her while we were gone. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: large;"></span><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">I am working on a catch-up post to let you know the reason I have been so absent on the blogs. This tree season could be in book form. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"></span> </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"> This has been a<span style="background-color: #e06666;"> year and a tree season</span> like no other. I have not had a spare second, an ounce of emotional energy and my physical energy has been rock bottom! <span style="background-color: #f3f3f3;">But</span> we decorated some beautiful homes that I want to share with you. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"></span> </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">My halls are decked thanks to Elf Terri and some other elves.</span> </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">I am typing this early on Thanksgiving morning. So much to be thankful for. God is so GOOD. In my bed you would find little Jack..Oh how I have needed to see him. IN another bed you would find Jack with our new puppy (really his) HAPPY, a gift from our kids for his birthday, plus </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Amanda's new puppy, Ella Sue (LSU). What a sight.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"></span> </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">The election has come and gone. God's still on the throne. Those were not exactly my feelings on election night, but a realization I came to a few days later. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"></span> </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">I have the rest of the week off before we began the sprint to the end of another "decking the halls" season. Today we are blessed to share Thanksgiving with Elf Terri and her family. Our kids eat with their in-laws. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"></span> </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Enjoy the pictures of this special home. A home filled with the loveliest of families. Love lives here. One step inside and you would instantly know.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"></span> </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Wishing you and yours a happy, fun-filled day, filled with many blessings. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

And I still don't know the answer....</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: x-large;">I have always been transparent...maybe to a fault. I have total writers block when I am not transparent. I may have no readers left. And its time to start the Christmas Blog. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: x-large;">The Tree schedule is set or at least almost. But that's not the point of this post. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: x-large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: x-large;">I am just going to write one of my random posts and see where it goes. Most of you know I am walking in a hard place...very hard place, hardest place in my life That's another problem, I have so many friends in the fight with very sick children and adults that are in cancer battles. I have friends that need work, friends that are going thru divorces...all that sounds more serious than mine. But pain is pain and we all have our own.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: x-large;"> </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Times; font-size: x-large;">I have a report from Marie on Crew that I knew you would love to hear. I know you love hearing from her....</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Times; font-size: x-large;"><strong> </strong></span><br />

<span style="color: #3d85c6; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><strong>Hello! Well he is 16 pounds of beautiful baby! His kidneys are no better so they are keeping a close eye to make sure it's not getting worse. Still on all medication. His bladder is growing but not enough to do the tests they need, so we are just waiting to see what his body does. Tomorrow is our first spina bifida clinic in Little Rock so we shall see what that brings! He also has to have more kidney tests tomorrow. We are there at least once every couple weeks! Then on September 6th we fly to New York to see a neurosurgeon specialist about his head. Because of laying on his back 24/7 for 4 months his skull is flat and a little misshaped. This doctor said it may explain his vomiting. It's a miracle we can get into him, he is known as the "miracle doc" in NY and on good morning America and all sorts of shows! I emailed him and the same day he emailed back and said be would be happy to evaluate Crew! So that's what's going on with him right now! Hope all is well! Gotta get some sleep for this drive at 4 am!</strong></span><br />

<strong><span style="color: #274e13; font-family: Trebuchet MS; font-size: large;">Another prayer request happened right here in my town to a family I know. The Dad is a well respected trauma surgeon at our Medical Center. Wednesday for some reason and it was very unusual for him to take his 6 mo baby girl, Lourdes, to the day care. Their only child! He comes from a wonderful Christian family that is well known in my town. On the way the hospital called and he got very distracted and a patient needed surgery ASAP. He pulled in the hospital and you know the rest of the story...The wife called later and said they had called from day care wondering where Lourdes was. He raced to his car but she was already dead from the heat. A tragedy, an accident...can you even imagine? Please say a prayer for this family. </span></strong><br />

<strong><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">You will never know how much your emails to me asking if I was OK have meant....Bloggers are the kindest people. </span><span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">I have thought about taking my blog private for a season. I don't even know how to do that.</span></span> <span style="font-size: large;">Guess we will see!</span></strong><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><strong></strong></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><strong>WE are going thru a very rough time in our family. Our hearts are broken and getting up everyday is pretty much the accomplishment I do each day. We are not seeing the "littles" and the kids had been our life for so many years.</strong> </span><span style="font-size: large;"> </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="color: #45818e; font-size: large;">Today was an extra hard day. <br />When I got up there was an email address in my inbox that I had not seen in 3 plus years. It really does not matter who it was from, to me it was just God telling me he still new my name and where I was.....I am going to share it with you without the name.....and if you need to know the same thing, claim this letter for yourself.</span><br />

<div>
<span style="color: #cc0000;"><span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;"><strong>I don't really know how to start this letter and have contemplated writing it for a year. The time has come where God is not letting me go another day without getting it done. I don't recall exactly what I said to you the last time I wrote you, but I do know it was terribly unkind and hurtful. I am certain you probably remember it close to word for word. That is the thing about hurtful words. The offender is able to forget them but those we offend are left with the memory of them and the way they felt when they were spoken. I could sit here and list everything I was going through at the time and offer them up as reasons but they would be excuses. I cannot excuse the way I treated you. The truth is, I remember most everything about the last email I recieved from you. Your words</strong></span><span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;"><strong> hurt me but they didn't hurt because you said them. They hurt because they were the truth. I did</strong> <strong>not recieve them in love, like I know you spoke them. I rejected them and tried to hurt you back. It was wrong and for that I am so very sorry. Proverbs 27:6 says "Wounds from a friend are better than kisses from an enemy." I wish I could</strong></span><strong> <span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">sit down with myself a few years back and impart the wisdom from that one verse to that lost person. </span></strong></span></div>

<div>
<span style="color: #cc0000;"><strong><span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">I have found grace and forgiveness with my husband, my God, and my family. I have worked so very hard to earn the trust back that I lost with so many. I don't know why it has taken me so long to write this letter to you. It is certainly not because I forgot that I treated you so poorly. It is nothing more than me being a coward and fear of rejection. What</span> </strong><span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;"><strong>God has revealed to me in my procrastination is that my apology is not about me. It</strong> <strong>is solely about you. </strong></span></span></div>

I am ashamed and embarassed it took me so long to right this wrong and I hope you can one day forgive me. You did not deserve the way I treated you. I hope you know it had nothing to do with you and everything to do with me. </strong></span></div>

<span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="color: #351c75;">I felt like I had known her forever. Just wish we had an entire day to visit. It was the most fun part of my trip. We met in Pensacola at a cute little restaurant and then we shopped for a little while. She was beautiful inside and out! <span style="background-color: yellow;">And do NOT ever believe her when she says she needs to lose weight. </span></span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: x-large;"><strong>We drove back to Baton Rouge with the boys and Amanda and Micah and had a great dinner at TJ Ribs. We all spent the night (and Jack stayed with us in our room where I snuggled his as close as possible and cried and prayed and got as many kisses as possible. He owns my heart.... I dont think I slept a wink. Early Sunday morning Parker came to our room to get him as they were leaving. The rest of the day is a blur. All I could do was cry... </strong></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><strong>I don't have to tell you what kind of week this has been. Jack and I are still not home. He has a summer cold and is miserable. We found a 5 star hotel for a an unbelievable price...you really would not believe me (less than 50 a night)...and have camped out all week. All the sand filled toys are still in our car. </strong></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><strong>We have cried and talked...I have decided if one more person tells me to just "get over it" they may get hurt. They have no idea what the last 13 years of our lives have been. The bonding with little boys that was as close as our own children. </strong></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><strong> It feels like we have lost our jobs in life. I wake up with that deep pit in my stomach and wonder if I will ever feel happy again. I know all the facts. I know it will only be a four and half hour drive. I know we have the freedom to visit often...</strong></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><strong>But I also know we will not be a big part of their lives, I will not have them spending the night several nights a week and they will not be a few minutes away. I will miss Amanda...She has never lived away from us. I covet your prayers these next weeks as I try and find a new normal. </strong></span><br />
<br />
<strong><span style="font-size: x-large;">I wanted to post daily at the beach but our internet left a lot to be desired. We had a fabulous house right on the beach....</span></strong><br />
<br />
<strong><span style="font-size: x-large;">We had two bartenders (Ha) some good cooks, late nights on the beach, lots of swimming, ate at some fun places....slept late (me), watched a lot of kid movies for the 100th time, had lots of snuggles with little boys. Had wet towels by the hundreds it seemed, few naps, just a lot of happy little men....</span></strong><br />
<br />
<strong><span style="font-size: x-large;">I read a great book....the story of Bernie Madoffs daughter-in-law, Amanda and Dana read a popular book...that I won't talk about. Jack read his normal 4 books...He loved reading on the porch overlooking the kids playing in the ocean. Overall it was a great trip and we made a MEMORY.</span></strong><br />
<br />
<strong><span style="font-size: x-large;">We are family....the good, the bad and the ugly...We are just walking a painful road right now. A year from now I hope I can smile at this post and not shed a tear. </span></strong><br />
<br />
<strong><span style="font-size: x-large;">Some snapshots from the beach.....you know my family so I am not even going to label them.</span></strong><br />
