Delays

"Angel" Nathan's sweet mom actually emailed me and reminded me that we did meet at the NB conference in 2004. (That must be why I follow Nathan's story so closely.) Isn't she amazing taking the time to email ME in the midst of their horror?! We will continue to lift up her and her entire family with our prayers. Nathan's website is available by clocking on the red font on the last post.

Today was filled with delays for poor grandma nee nee. We left the house very early to get her up to Toledo (1 1/2 hours) for her surgery; however, after waiting four hours after we got there, they decided that her leg is still too swollen so they sent us back home and we will go back and try again in a few days. Meanwhile, she's lugging around her leg - which has a 35 pound "A frame" brace going through the middle of it. The poor thing - we thought she was going to be staying so I never expected to have to try to get her in our house by myself. There was no way I could get the wheel chair up a few steps. (She came in on a gurney last week.) Finally, (Oh, she's going to kill me for sharing this.) we decided that if she scooted up the steps on her "backside" it would work. It was A LOT of effort, but we did it. Boy, am I grateful that little skinny, child-sized Christi could just be carried! This is all new territory for me!!

We zipped back into town just in time for Shayla to get to her PT (Should I say "spa treatment? Looks pretty nice, eh?!) and to her horse riding lesson. She's doing so well her instructor says. It's been amazing to watch her growth this summer. I know Christi, a fellow horse lover, must be very proud too!

Here's wishing you all good health and peace!
