Good morning all~
Just a quick note to ask you to say a prayer for Adam this morning. His left eye has taken a turn for the worse. He says his vision is 75% worse this morning than it was before we went to bed last night and that he can only see a foot at the most in front of him. I am working to try and find a different/better specialist for him to see. There is a specialist that works on patients with burns to their eyes specifically but he isn’t available today!!! Ugh!
My baby brother is getting married. To a great girl~his high school sweetheart (in keeping with the trend in our family as we all did that). They are getting married this summer and I am very excited for them but it is bittersweet too, as it means he is truly grown up which is hard for me to accept. They will be living in Montana which is heartbreaking as it is soooo far away but somewhat comforting too as we hope to someday end up there (it may be in our retirement years but hey!). For those of you that REALLY know me you understand how special Jesse is to me.
They had their engagement pictures taken in Glacier National Park, literally the most beautiful place you will ever see, at least here in the U.S. on the mainland. Glacier is right where I grew up and is gorgeous! Take a peak and feel old (and a little proud)…like I did when looking at their amazing pictures.
Just a quick update on Adam. He is doing great!!! He was started on steroid on Monday and they have made the world of difference…he has eyes in there still people! And, better yet he can open them and is seeing pretty darn good. His left eye is still a little fuzzy at times and they are still “a little” sore he says. He actually has teeny little shiners now under each eye.
Mainly, though, he is celebrating his sight. Every once in awhile he’ll tell me…”look at me” and I’ll be all like I’m looking at you~is something wrong and he says he just wanted to look because he can. He told me last night that while it was raining yesterday he went outside and played with one of the dogs in the rain “because I could see the rain”. He keeps saying “I see you”.
Regarding his skin..he just says he always wondered what a chemical peel would be like. He is starting to peel a little bit and it is like dealing with a toddler keeping him from picking at it!
Thank you for all of your prayers~they definitely made a difference~
I was leaving Target in Lincoln last night and there was all of a sudden a line of people trying to get out of the store. I swear to you…there was 7 people in front of me. SEVEN! So, I just veered right and went out the other door and as I’m walking by the “line” I hear…
“why won’t it open, what is wrong with the door?” (as all of these people are looking at the door peering over each other’s shoulders)
All of these people were staring at the automatic door, which was obviously not working. I’m like…geesh people, you can’t push open your own dang door! No sirree bob, we aren’t a lazy society…Not. At. All.
Good news all around…but we never doubted that we would hear anything different now did we?! The specialist says Adam should have a full recovery (yippee!), he started him on steroids and Adam already says they feel even better tonite. He should actually hopefully be able to return to work within a couple of days. Like I said in a previous post: We. Are. Blessed.
On an entire different note but a much deserved one, we don’t have showers yet here in the house. Both bathrooms with the showers are ALMOST done but not quite. We DO, however have the jacuzzi tub in and just got the jets started the end of last week. I have been soooooo looking forward to this for over two years…literally, people. When we were in Hawaii two years ago last May I bought this bottle of bath stuff from one of the spas we were at because I couldn’t wait to use it in our “new jacuzzi tub”! Well…two years and some odd months later I finally got to try it tonite.
I started hollering and Adam comes in and found me like this…of course having the common sense that he has (and that I lack) he asks me how much did I put in. I just poured “a little bit” and then I look at it and it says 3 capfuls….and this would be 3 capfuls probably in a NORMAL bath not a jacuzzi but hey, I’m a learnin’.
And, folks….these weren’t your typical Mr. Bubble bubbles from when we were kids that just bubbled up for a brief enough period of time to tease you and then dissolved away. These were the real deal. One could make like bubble castles and stuff.
By the way, the stuff was worth the wait, it smelled VERY good too!
