Prayers for Healing

First prayer for healing....


This little guy needs LOTS of prayers. This is Gage Aaron Domec. He was born on January 6th. He has been in Texas Children's Hospital since Saturday. He has bacterial spinal meningitis. There were some improvements today! His parents are Lance and Kelly Domec. (Lance is Ryan's youngest brother.)

His Mom posted this today on Facebook:

Today already started much better! No issues over night and they already took off the eeg lines from his head. They didn't see any seizure activity and may even take him off the seizure meds. They believe he has plateaued and hoping for a less active day. He needs a break!

Second Prayer for Healing...

Today, I woke up to Todd pacing the floor in excruciating pain. His entire body was in a full sweat. My Mom came to watch Cooper and Chloe while I took Todd to the ER. He was immediately taken to a room and was well taken care of. He has two kidney stones. One nurse and the doctor told me that it was the male version of labor. Anytime Todd moaned, someone was immediately in the room to give him more medicine. I am able to kid with Todd now about the whole experience. There seem to be an abundance of male nurses and doctors this morning and they gave Todd more attention than when I was having my babies! Who goes to the ER at 8:00 AM and is out of there by 10:00 AM? But, all kidding aside, he is in pain and has to make an appointment with an Urologist tomorrow to decide if surgery is a better option.

My sick boys...yes...Cooper is still coughing! Oh by the way, I've been practicing smiling with Cooper. We've made a game of it and Todd was telling him he was practicing too. This is my second good one of him!

Snuggling with Dad....

I was sent to the store for this...well...maybe just the cookie dough ice cream.

I'm having sympathy pains so I decided I needed some too!

Third prayer for healing...

My brother's knee is really hurting him and he had to go see a knee specialist today. He can barely walk. They want him to go in for an MRI to see if surgery is needed. He just started a new job and already has to take time off.

Fourth prayer for healing...

It almost seems selfish to ask for prayers for Cooper's cough when there seems to be such greater prayer requests, but we all know God doesn't work that way! His cough just won't go away and it's wearing him out. The sun came out finally this afternoon so we went for a walk. We have been trapped in the house for too long! I took this picture today...I think he's lost weight from being sick! Look how skinny he looks! He is looking at Reba through the fence.

Here is some randomness...

This is the first picture that he is practicing smiling!

I hate that it's poor quality. It was taken with an I-Phone.

Doesn't she look older here?

Another I-Phone photo. My Uncle says she's out of control pretty and that he is

glad her brother will be around to keep the guys away!

I have started working on turning the blog posts into a book. Oh my! It is sooo much work. And, the max pages only allows me to include a year of posts which turns the project into two projects! I've worked on the first book for almost 10 hours and I'm still not finished. I'm getting closer! It has been fun reminiscing though. I truly think it will be something we cherish for years.

These are pictures of my computer screen. I haven't decided on the background color.

I'm off to eat some mint chocolate chip ice-cream! YUMMY!
