I am home for a few weeks

School is starting just around the corner and I needed to come home and focus on my children and getting 4 of them in school. We were planning to leave on Saturday but mom and dads van would not start and they had things they needed to do so we let them use our van and then latter that day david and my dad fixed the van!! It was there starter that had gone out. So we were all packed and ready to go so Sunday we just woke up got dressed and left. WE drove to Ft Collins Co. and spent the night in our hotel. Woke up Mon and drove all the way home. I have to stay that for having 6 small kids the drive went wonderful. It was for the most part quiet. The kids travel well and do not get sick and the only time they cried is when they started to rough house and get hurt from each other but mostly there was laughing and joke telling!!! Although every time we stopped Sammie said "all done no more please". WE got home at 10:30 pm it went great!!!

Monday with my mom:

She had another Dr. appointment to get drained. They drained 4.1 litters. That is alot of fluid for only 3 days. On Early Tuesday they went to St. Louis. to strat the trial and get the meds that come with the trial. They do labs and xrays and ct scans. pretty much a full body from head to toe exam. To her dissapointment she was hospitalized because her potassiam levels are to high and her sodium levels are to low. They had to keep her over night so here we are Wednesday labs are still not good but are getting better. WE are hoping to be able to get her home today:) We are all excited every day we wake up and she is still fighting for her life!!! She has an amzing spirit about her and we pray daily that she will continue to feel of the love that our Father in Heaven has for her, each day that she remains with us.

I am grateful for the time that I have had to spend with her and can not wait to go back to be with her in a few weeks. It is hard being 2000 miles away and feeling hopless when she is sick and sad. I want to give her a hug and let her know that I love her but can not.

Well that is all for now my friends I will post again soon.
