Wow

I knew it had been a while since I blogged,but didn't realize HOW long. So much has happened.
Tom came early for my birthday; I Turned 70; had an Airboat ride; friend Barb came for birthday; party; had surgery at MAYO; re-entered another hospital here due to complications; Ween had dental surgery (pulled 24 infected teeth); Charles has had several episodes with his kidney stones; Charles had "college" trips with the girls in Malibu and Arizona; I'm  still on oxygen but healing slowly.

Whew!  I'm tired just reading about it.  But, God is good and has blessed us even in the midst of chaos.

So many people have helped to make these transitions possible-Mary, Julie, Bret, Kinzie, Kayla, Noni, Mock, Ruth,  not to mention all the prayers that have been sent up on our behalf. I'm beyond grateful.

In the midst of all this, Vicki's father Bill died and she was dealing with this in addition to her own physical condition.  I felt as if I had very little energy and couldn't help her like I would liked to have done. She, of course, was very gracious and understanding, and got through the main service and all that entails.

So, how am I to continue and what is next for me?  I really don't know.  I firmly believe if I could redo this surgery, knowing what I know now, I probably would not have had it done. You know what they say about hindsight, so who knows.

I thank God for His blessings and mercy, grace and forgiveness. He is so good to me.  I praise His name and am praying for a deeper relationship with Him.
