MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT UPDATE (NEW UPDATE)

*****Just a short update.  Crew will be having surgery on Thursday. Two tubes came out today...the doctor took them out....According to Marie when he is awake he is miserable..will update after surgery Thursday...I don't think he is a very happy camper...He does have two hernias, one on each side so they will be repaired....Keep praying...

I was afraid if I posted on the last post that you might not see it...and I really do not know much other than PRAY.....Marie's parents are out of town in Fla, at least they were this afternoon.  Each of you are so important to her..When I sit and think of all the emotions that must being going thru her mind, all the fears, then add in the sleep deprivation for so long and watching her baby suffer....It's more than I can wrap my brain around. 

Marie posted this tonight.....after being admitted to ACH in Little Rock.

Crew update: He has a hernia.  They pushed most of it back in but it does require surgery on Thursday when they take his kidney stints out.
He also has a UTI and a possible colon infection. So we are admitted. Keep praying!

I am hoping to talk to her early tomorrow.  I have a feeling it has been days since she slept.

Just a little recap of Crew's first two and half months....what a little trooper.

This was the mood as they were anxiously awaiting Crew's birth....Excited, happy,  full of hope.....
and then everything changed...from that day to today, it has been one thing after another.  This family so needs a BREAK.

HAD TO EDIT THIS POST! URGENT

AS you can see below I was working on a post, when my phone went off with a message from Marie about 30 minutes ago....so for right now,
the information at the bottom is old news and this is new....

Monday, 1PM

Now there is an emergency surgery as soon as they can get to Little Rock (3 hours with a baby in horrible pain) I am just going to copy her words... Please pass this request on.....

PLEASE PRAY: Rushing back to ACH. Crew possibly has a hernia in his groin that is causing him extreme pain.

His surgeons would have to fix today, Which means yet another surgery today....

 anything below is old news....

This picture was one Marie sent me yesterday I have fallen so in love with this little man.  He will have his next surgery the 30th, which is this week, so do not let up on praying. 

Just a little excerpt from a note Marie sent me....
"Thank you so much! So sweet of everyone to pray! Crew is getting his PICC line pulled today. Yesterday they flushed all his catheters and checked his incisions. His belly is really hurting him today from all of the massive doses of super strong antibiotics.
He has surgery on Friday the 30th to remove the stints from his kidneys!!! So excited, those make me so nervous!
My precious dad (my precious mom sent him!) stayed the night last night while Clennton was out of town!

Still very tired and yesterday was a bad day for me. Everything really hit me hard, like a Mack truck! I sobbed for hours. I needed it I think! So hopefully today will be calmer and better! Hope you have a wonderfully blessed day! 
Love you
Marie

This family has been under attack.  Marie's older sister Rhonda, who is the nurse and expecting her fifth child, spent the last 24 hours in the hospital in VERY early labor and is now on TOTAL bed rest.  Wow do they need a break. 

Thanks for all your prayers ...Will be back tonight to update.....

A BUNCH OF RANDOM

The title should be a good clue.  I am the worst blogger.  I have had a post in my mind for several days...just full of random and have not sat down and typed it. 

As much as I have ask for prayer for Crew and not to give you an update for a few days is wrong.  Please forgive me. 

I have also done such a poor job of visiting your blogs and am hoping for a good full day soon. 

I am going to start with him. I did have contact with Marie today so its a recent update.    

He is still at home and has several doctors appointments this week.  They have found a nurse plus Home Health but Marie is worn out.  He has IV's going and it is a full time job to meet all his needs.
So I guess I would say he is stable and so far being at home is working as well as it can. 

Yesterday was a wonderful family day.  Here are the Moms to my four little men.

We all went to church. Our speaker was Rick Santorum. 
I cannot tell you how impressed I was.
 
There was no politics...He told his story and it was a sermon we all need. 

Even with the Secret Service lined up, it never felt like it was anything other than a humble man sharing his heart. 

I went with no reason to think I would be moved .  Though I had watched all the debates I still did not have a great feeling about any of them, at least not enough to say "I am backing     ". 

That might have changed yesterday.  I am including his story and it is well worth listening to.

After church we had lunch and then headed to the park...Hot and humid so we did not stay long. 

Then Jack came home with us to spend the  night.  Now he and Parker are here for another night.  Nothing makes me happier.

Jack and I have played all day and he just passed out for the night.  Parker is on book two of The Hunger Games, so he has been telling me everything about the first one.  I see the movie in our near future. 

Jack has started Wee Ball.  From all you know about him, can you just imagine how funny he will be.  We have been talking to him about not talking when the coach talks.  I will let you know how that works out.

Peyton is going to the Broncos. 
I have  mixed emotions about that. 
I love Peyton but had really started to call Tebow my favorite player. 
Now we have a conflict of interests. 

If you are not a football lover you have no idea what those few sentences meant. 

My dear friend Dianne, who lost her husband this summer, while he waited on a liver transplant came to see me Saturday. 

We holed up in a popular restaurant and took up a table for far too long.  Hours later we left full and caught up on life.  Life is hard and it hurts and some days it seems like there is no relief. 
Today is her first birthday since Keith died.  Dianne, if you happen to read this ....
Happy Birthday!! I think I can say that Keith would want me to wish you one too from him. 

The last month I have felt like I was carrying the weight of the world.  I know that sounds dramatic, but I have 3 good friends and each one of them are in the trials of their lives. 

Totally different situations...horrible, hurtful situations....the kind that make you want to hurt someone.

None of them even know each other.   There is not one thing I can do for them but listen to them and pray.
  
Maybe that is all I am meant to do.  I sure would like to change their circumstances. All three need a giant miracle.   

Ok, enough random for tonight.  I will be back soon.  Thanks for still coming to visit me.
