Jeremiah's DRAMA...

Ok, so this is an interesting story! A couple of Saturdays ago, Jeremiah was washing the hardwoods in our house by hand when he got a splinter about 2 1/2 inches long in the palm of his hand. I took him to the urgent care, they cut him to look for the rest and then stitched him up. 6 stitches! They didn't find anything skin deep and they can't go into the muscle to look for the rest of the splinter. He was referred to the Hand Center and the doctor scheduled surgery for this past Tuesday! Well up above is the piece of wood that was stuck in the palm of his hand 1 1/2 inches long. Yeah and he also had his carpal tunnel sugery at the same time. Jeremiah will now be out of work for about 6 weeks. Just the carpal tunnel surgery he would be out for about 2 weeks but because he was doing my job around the house and got hurt he is home for another 4 weeks. Gotta love what men will do in order to get a little attention!

Our Newest Addition....

"CHANCEY" as in 2nd Chance Chance is our newest little addition to our family. I don't know why God brings these little creatures into my life cause once I hold it I can't give it up! Chance in this picture is about 3-4weeks old. He is now about 6 weeks old. A few weeks ago we found Chance and he wasn't doing to well. His eyes were matted with gook and he would not take a bottle. A few days later his little eyeball fell out of his head! No lie! Jeremiah and I put him the bathroom while he called his mom to see what we needed to do because his eye was still attached to the optic nerve hanging outside the eye socket. Jeremiah's mom suggested that the expense to have the eye removed was great and that it would be best to put him down. As soon as Jeremiah told me that I immediately broke down spent an hour in the bathroom hugged up to the toilet. Jeremiah came to me and told me to go to bed and not to come out until the morning cause he had to take care of the situation (put him to sleep). I went in the other bathroom to tell little Chance bye forever and his eyeball had fallen off and the eye had closed. He was doing good and then began to eat like a horse. I gave him some antibiotics I had at home and he is growing like a weed and only having one eye does not hold him back at all.

A Wonderful Week...







This past week was a wonderful one. Jeremiah and me got to keep my friend's little boy Troy. He is such a blessing and if I could keep him for myself I would in a heartbeat. He is the most thoughtful little boy. We did a lot with him! Swimming, meeting Ashley and Donna for supper, watching Steven play football, going to Kampai where he really entertained the whole table with his whit. Most of all Troy really enjoyed going to church. He didn't want to leave our house. Honestly, I didn't want him to go either. When his mom picked him up on Sunday I went back in the house and cried like a baby. Needless to say, I love Troy so much. The joy that he brought to our home last week was wonderful. Jeremiah got attached to him and loved having him around.
