Peanut Update:

I just had a chance to post. They let our Peanut come home Saturday midday. His numbers are still not perfect but he is improving. He will forever be on a strict diet, prescription dog food ONLY! He is happy to be home and getting better each day.

Thanks for the kinds words.

Our Peanut has been in the hospital since Monday. He has Pancreatitis. On Sunday he had two seizures, he started having these about a year ago. After the first one, he was very weak and acting different, we were afraid he'd had a stroke. I took him to the vet on Monday fearing the worse, but prepared (as much as one can be). The vet said he was a very sick dog. Today, Friday, he is looking better, he still hasn't had any food or water yet. They are hoping when his blood test come back tomorrow that the numbers will look better. If that happens and he is able to take food and water and keep it in, he will be able to come home. I went to visit him today, he really wanted to come home. Paul Ray really wants him to come home. Hopefully we'll get good news!

Well we've been logged in the traditional program for 8 months now. The CCAA is finally through November 2005! Our Medical Checklist for the Special Needs Program was submitted two and half months ago. I'm thinking we may hear something from that in March.

And now we just wait. Paul Ray has been helping with this, we've been on two trips and there always seems to be something going on.

This weekend, I have Erin's babyshower (for baby Noah Avery - due in December) on Saturday and then on Sunday we're going to see Mercy Me in concert! I'm really excited about that.

We have Brandon's birthday on the 24th, this is the first year we're not doing a big dinner for him, he'll be 22. Saturday night is when his band practices, so the band won out.

Little Man's birthday is the first weekend in November, so from here on out we will stay busy through the end of the year.

I have work to keep my mind going during the week and as we all know the holidays (my favorite time of the year) are knocking on the door! I am so ready. Bonny, Ashlee and I are ready for our annual shopping spree to Myrtle Beach on Black Friday. It's not so much a shopping spree as it is another bonding day for us. Bonny and I have been best friends for 20 years now. 20 years and we still get along so great. God didn't give me any biological sisters, but he did give me sisters. We took her daughter Ashlee with us last year for the first time, we also started taking her on our birthday breakfasts. I love this girl to death, I cant wait for her and Grace to get together.

I also went back to the doctor for my follow up on these headaches that wont go away. In addition to giving me a prevented medicine (sure hope it works), she is sending me for a MRI just to make sure.

So thats our life in a nutshell right now! What's up with you?

Finally, The CCAA is through the month of November, 2005!

Happy Anniversary Paul Ray!

Today marks our 16th wedding anniversary. You made me the happiest person alive that day. Thank you for all the great gifts you have given me and for the greatest one yet to come.
