Moment By Moment
10:39 AM
I finished Harry Potter, but it was this morning and not last night. I was very satisfied with the ending and that is all I will say about that. I wouldn’t want to give anything away. It was nice though, sitting in the swing out back and reading in the midst of clear morning air and freshly cut grass. I enjoyed the peacefulness of it.
Today is the first day of school for Ashley. It seems slightly strange for me to only be sending one child off to school and not two; to only have to pay for one lunch and not two. I’m not complaining. It probably seems odd to Andrew also, to be going to work at 5 in the morning instead of school at 8. Do you think he is realizing now how easy he had it? We never know how easy things are until they’re long past resurrecting.
3:42 PM
The home health nurse came this morning and took a blood sample from mom. Later, the Markey called and said she needed to come in because her platelets were low and her hemoglobin was dangerously low. She also had a temperature of 100.7.
Any elevated temperatures are a sign of infection, so they have to keep her closely monitored. As a result of all this, she was admitted back in the Markey this afternoon. We don’t know how long her stay will be.
4:00 PM
Mom called and gave me a list of things she wanted packed. She will have dad retrieve the suitcase once I have it ready.
4:15 PM
Ashley had a great first day in middle school. I filled out the necessary paperwork and wrote a check for her fees. It was only $15.
5:00 PM
We went to mom and dad’s to pack her stuff. While we were there, I spoke with mom on the phone and she told me she would be in the hospital for three days. She had to get off the phone because they were taking her to x-ray.
Please keep her in your prayers.

I thought of Ashley today starting middle school. I am glad that she had a great day.
I am still praying for your mom.

I really don't know what we would have done without you and Kevin. I mean that with all my heart. I know she's your mom and you love her very much but you both always go the little extra and that means more than you will ever know.You have just given of your time and most of all, your husband. If shouted it from the top of the court house, it wouldn't be good enough for what you two have done. Love you both very much, I just can't express in words how wonderful you are to your mother and I. DAD

Sorry to hear about your Mom being back in the hospital. We will keep her in our prayers. I'm sure Ashley is under a lot of stress right now with school starting and her Grandma being sick. We will be thinking of all of you and your well-being.

I spoke to Sharon on Sunday night and she sounded great! I am sorry to hear that she is back in the hospital, but hopefully, her conditions will improve quickly. Tami, as a cousin that I have not seen since you were around 7 years old, I think you are a terrific young lady. You have a wonderful family, and Sharon and Dennis, I know, must be very proud of you. Love you! I am praying for Sharon's recovery! Love her too!

I talked to Sharon on Sunday before Dennis got home from church. She was worried about him because he was a few minutes late. (there she is once again as she has always done worrying about others). I'm asking GOD, please send us a miracle for Sharon! You are all in my prayers!
