My Mom

Hi wonderful friends:

Thank you for the sweet texts, voicemails, emails, ect and most importantly prayers. I appreciate each one, I just haven't had time to respond to them.

Basically, on Tuesday my Mom went into the hospital with what we thought was dehydration from a bad stomach bug. Then penmonia was discovered and then heart issues. Now they speculate that she may have even had a heart attack which manifested itself as stomach issues (common in women apparantly). Friday night she was moved to the ICU because she was basically headed towards septic shock, with her kidneys starting to fail, acid in the blood, unable to get her blood pressure up, ect. ect ect. In the opinion of my sister and me and some of the nurses, a pulminary doctor should have been brought in much sooner than he was and she should have been tranfered to ICU sooner than she was.

But, thanks to the LORD and your prayers, she has had 100% improvement in the last day and a half. Basically, all of the issues she was experiencing are gone and all of those things I listed are back to normal. Praise God! The doctors kept us in the dark enough that we didn't even realize the severity of the situation until they already had it under control, which I don't know if that's good or bad, but that's what happened.

It is a possibility that she may be released out of ICU as early as tomorrow. We don't know if that's good or bad because she wasn't necessarily recieiving proper care when she was on the general care floor. At one point her blood sugar even dropoped to 15, which is just neglegence in my opinion, but I'll save my soap box about the health care industry for another time :) I thank God for my wonderful friends in the medical field that I know are making a positive difference in the lives or their patients every day!!! There are not enough of you out there!

Anyway, I'll send updates as things progress. Please keep up the prayers and THANK YOU!

Almost Houstonians

Bye House! :( "Where'd it go?"

I don't know that we're "official" Houstonians yet. We own a home here, but we're not yet living in it. But the hotel we're staying at is in Houston. Does that count? Either way, we'll be official come Friday...only two days to go!

I know I personally don't always recognize God's hand in my life, but it has been so evident in this move. We prayed specifically that our house in San Antonio would get a contract on it in a time period of two days and we had our first showing on day two and the very same people put a contract on it in on day three. Considering we had so many..."This is a bad time of year to sell a house," "Good luck in this market," "you've only lived in it for a year," and "You will definitely lose money," comments, it was all a huge confirmation that this is God's plan for us when it all happened so easily. We were able to find a house that we love in Houston in one weekend with hardly any negotiation required. When I showed my mom pics of our new house to be, she asked, "Well, my Gosh, did you even special order the paint colors in your prayer?" Even the packers who came to our house were believers and prayed over me as they were leaving. It was so cool! As crazy and stressful as the whole process has been, God has really provided for us every step of the way.

In the last few weeks since I've had a chance to blog, lots of note worthy things have taken place. First, we got to meet Calvin Hargrove, Luke and Steph's little boy, who is PRECIOUS! If you read their blog, you of course already know about our visit since Luke blogs about 100 entries in the time I do one....seriously, Luke, it's a little out of hand. And that's the reason for the whole "Luke is the best person in the world" blog entry because he is a computer hacker and stole my identity.

Our wonderful San Antonio friends threw us a good-bye party and I pretty much sobbed all through church on Sunday having to say good-bye to them. What, me, emotional? Shocking I know.

We also said good-bye to our first house :( We took Gray to say bye after it was all empty. At first, he seemed concerned that his toys were not there, but then he was just excited to have all the room to play and started running around in circles.

Here are some pics of the new house. This is not our stuff, but since it may be a little bit before the house is set up (knowing us only a couple days) I'm posting pics of the house with the seller's stuff :) That way, if someone finds something they want to steal, they won't know where to go to steal it because it's not ours!
