Great news on the sister front – last week her CT scan came back good, so the brain drain tube was removed along with the feeding tube, and she was moved from Neuro Critical Care Unit to a ‘regular’ hospital room. The power of prayer, for sure! She’s paralyzed on her right side, but actually…

Birthdays; Loss; Puppies and Funnies: Random Tuesday Thoughts

Can you believe we’ve arrived in November? Little Dude celebrated his 12th birthday this weekend, as a family tradition we let whomever has a birthday pick where they want to have their birthday dinner. He was all about having rib-eye, so that’s what we did. The local restaurant we went to has this giant foam…
