It is not about how many crosses hang on my wall or even if I go to church.
To me~It is about serving a God that answers prayers and believing no matter what anyone says, no matter what happens, I am steadfast in my heart that He that has begun a good work in me will finish it!

Take Hold of Every Moment~Inspirations from my Uncle

TAKE HOLD OF EVERY MOMENT

Why save something for a special occasion?
Every day IN YOUR LIFE is a special occasion!!! Use your crystal glasses every day.
I’ll wear new clothes to the supermarket, with my BEST cologne!!
So celebrate the day of TODAY!! Why wait for things to be perfect?
There is no such thing, in life there just IS, so accept them as they ARE
and make it your best day.
Search to your inner strength, grab a hold of it, and bring it to this new day that we call
“every day for the rest of your life.”
Together let’s “take a hold of every moment,” and soon we will see, the very best of of life for you and me.

Good News

We ended up going to the ER yesterday. BB got a breathing treatment and they were able to read her CT scan. No pneumonia~ Yay ~ but she does have a respiratory infection. The CT also showed scar tissue from her last illness. She was dehydrated from the cdiff but we got to go home by midnight so that is huge. We are so relieved and thank you so much for all your prayers and kind wishes! Huge hugs to you!

I don’t know what
made me look up
from my sorrow
but I did
and this is what I saw this
Spot of Autumn
before my eyes
such a nice surprise
lifted my sorrow

still I wait. . .

We wait for Alex’s doc to give us instructions still, her right lung is 1/2 full of fluid….still waiting for results of the CT scan from yesterday. They aren’t even concerned about TB now, but finding out what is in her lung. She’s been sick for 2 weeks, with cdiff and infection of the lower intestine caused by too many antibiotics so right now there is nothing that can be done. Except for being hospitalized she’s home with me, there really isn’t anything they can do for her that I’m not trained to take care of so she feels better if she’s home and can rest more comfortably at home. I wanted to let you know so you know where my sorrow comes from. Alex has been fighting illness and tends to always suffer during this time of year. The list of diseases is now 5, so I am juggling each of those trying to find something that will help her. Right now sleep is all that will help her body fight…I’ve called everyone I can think of, her docs cell phone has 4 messages,  the radiologist has received 3 calls from me and I’m not giving up till we have a treatment plan.

If you are my close friend to me, you know that Alexanderia almost died to pneumonia in 2011. Her body has been bombarded with antibiotics that there are no more they can try, hence the cdiff in her colon. Since her immune system is compromised by other diseases, we wait for her body to fight. If the fluid continues to build they will place a chest tube, last time they drained over 2700 liters from her right lung. It’s quit scary and I pray something happens because that is my next step if I don’t hear something different. There is a lung specialist at the hospital, so I may try him next to see if he could help us.

Know that my faith is rock solid it never wavers but prayer for the doctors to do something would be nice.
Much love and huge hugs to you!
