WOW!! This may be normal ...or not....but my 13 month old just went to his diaper bag and brought me a diaper so I checked him and he had a dirty diaper!! You think he was trying to tell me he had a dirty diaper and to change him??!! Could be coincidental..... WELL, MOMMY THINKS HE IS A GENIUS!!!! :)
Also, something else cute, while at the hospital our nephew Michael was crying and Grant picked up his passy and put it in his mouth.....too sweet!!!!
UPDATE..............................
Boomer's dad was found unconscience and was taken to the hospital Sunday morning. He had a catscan done and it showed two hematomas on his brain, one on the left and one on the right. The doctor said that they had to operate in order for him to live. So they took him to Hattiesburg to do surgery. While doing the surgery, they went in on the worst side first and removed the clots. He nearly died on the table so they had to stop. The doctor didn't seem very hopeful that he would even survive the night. They brought in the chaplain to speak to the family. It was terrible and heartbreaking. But because of so many wonderful friends and family, Mr. Shell made it through the night. Matter of fact, he was trying to wake up. They took out his respirator and he tried to talk. By that night, he knew who we were and knew that visitation was every three hours instead of two. (He corrected his stepson!) It is totally amazing the power of prayer. However, lastnight he seized all night because he didn't have the proper medicine or dosage (I'm not sure). He is doing well today. He will be highly sedated the next couple of days. So continue to pray. The doctor is AMAZED that he survived the surgery, none the less, woke up!!! They say they aren't going to go back in to operate on the other side....he said it would probably correct itself(amazingly enough!) He is not out of the woods yet but things are looking up.
OKAY in the midst of all of this.....the Friday and Saturday before the surgery, we packed, loaded and moved!! WHO KNEW I HAD SO MUCH STUFF!! Well once I started packing it all came back to me pretty quick!! Leaving my family and signing papers and my parents land over to someone else broke my heart. It makes my stomach turn every time I think about it! Even though it was hard, I know it was right. God has been so good and faithful to us. HE continues to bless us. It has been a long last couple of days. We are physically and emotionally exhausted.
HOW HAS GOD BEEN GOOD?? WARNING>>THIS IS IN FULL DETAIL AND LONG!!!
It all started when we wanted to move back. We began praying extremely hard. I knew I wanted to come back, but did GOD want us to come back was my prayer. Boomer and I talked about it often. He wasn't enjoying an office job and missed being a cop. We knew that our house would be hard to sell, not because of the house itself because it is beautiful but because of its location. Just to give you a picture of where it is....imagine coyotes howling at night near your backyard, finding large large rattlesnakes in your yard, driving 30 minutes to town to work or to get groceries even. It was in the sticks to say the least. It is for some people but not for us!
Cheif offered Boomer a position at the PD but he had to turn it down because what if our house didn't sell for a year..it's not like he can commute 3 hours!! HE hated to because another position may not open up for months...So I was walking by a friends classroom one morning and she was transferring to another school within the district and I told her she had lots of packing to do. And then I came out and said that we were praying about leaving and if she knew anyone who wanted a house in a jokinly way. She said, matter of fact I do. Her sister and her husband were looking. Well, her sister was interested. I told Boom to go call Cheif an let him know what was going on. Because if another position came up, he would think of him first. He did, in the mean time I was giving Grant a bath and Boom walked in and said, I still have chill bumps! I was like, what in the world did he say??? Cheif never hired anyone for the position because something told him not to. Boom said we may be able to sell the house quickly. The position was his! Okay gang...that was GOD!! THAT was our confirmation. So that couple didn't work out but the girl I first talked to, she and her husband were highly interested and it sold in the same week. AGAIN>>GOD!!! (By the way my parents were in Hawaii the whole time and didn't know that we had sold the house. They knew we had plans to sell it. They didn't think it would be this soon)Grant got in a great daycare even though the waiting list is 1-2 years!! I have a job in the same school district. I mean everything is working out!!
We have a house but we can't move in until next week. So we are staying with his mom until then. We are extremely grateful!! Other than praying for a husband and to conceive a child and our safety in China I don't think I have prayed so diligenlty about anything and had full faith that it would happen. God has shown his power and grace. He is almighty and loving and will take care of you. Just follow HIS will.
ANYTHING YOU ASK IN PRAYER, BELIEVING YOU SHALL RECEIVE! MATTHEW 21:22
