Where I have been, and what's going on.

As we all know, life changes in the blink of an eye! It can be minor changes, to major changes. Easter Sunday, my sister called me to say she was headed to the ER. She was released, but went back Monday morning (4/25), they wanted to life flight her out, but it was the start or the horrible storms, so they transported her via ambulance. But the storms weren't near as bad as they were further away. SHe was rushed into surgery and came out on life support. Last week was a super hard and scary week. Then Saturday, they had to move her from the ventilator to a trach. So needless to say it's been horrible! Super hard to watch! (at times, it's like reliving Momma laying there 7 months earlier). It's hard to watch Dad's fear and worry and that to compile above his normal health issues. I came in town here, last Wed and I am still here. I can't return home yet, Dad needs me too much. So I am here to help him. I hate that I can't fix this! I wish I could do something to change this. HOwever it's in God's hands. I keep praising him through this all. I know for the last year or or a lil more, it's been really bad! And I know it's been hard, but God has a plan and I am trusting him!

Our hearts break for all those that have been affected and lost so much from the many tornadoes and storms of last week! I was scared for so many I know. Yall have our prayers and support! If you haven't ever been through something like this, please take note, they need lots of help, support, and prayers! They need us! And they need to know they aren't forgotten. Going through several natural destructions in my life, I know what it feels like to be forgotten. Help where you can! They need lots of help, money, food, clothing, water, time and labor in clean up! They need love and support!

Tomorrow, I start my pre op diet for my surgery! I have 2 weeks until surgery, and I can't wait. I am ready to get on with getting well. I am so tired of being sick and hurting like this. I want this so that I can be a better wife, mom, daughter, sister, friend, and Christian!

The girls are doing good! They had a very good Easter, and doing well with school stuff, even while here and out of routine.

I hope and pray everyone is doing well. I will try to post some updated pictures and about our Easter soon. Yall take care!

Hugs and Blessings,

Patty,

I just thought about you the other day!!!

I haven't been on FB lately, more so in the past couple days than in the past several weeks, do some "friends" making some hurtful comments. I decided rather than to "get into it" with them, I would take the high road, not respond, and in essence take a break. Well that led to taking an unintentional break from blogging as well.

So, I feel awful, that I had no idea all of this trauma was going on with your sister. I am going to be offering up prayers for her (and you, and your daddy too) tonight. You know your momma's watching over you and will keep you all safe in her arms.

I'll be watching for future updates on sis and you!

Blessings,
Val

P.S. Thanks for your kind thoughts and words on today's post!
