another update

Elijah is doing better. Erika is keeping him off of dairy as much as possible and it's making a difference. His bm is still loose but not like water. I'm not sure when the doctor appt. is coming up. But at least things are going in the right direction.

Pirates..............

Just saw the movie "Pirates of the Caribbean At Worlds End". I really enjoyed myself. I thought it was the funniest one of the three. We got the last two tickets for the 8:30 showing. I didn't realize it was so long though. Got there at 8:30 it was over around 11:30. It's good it's Friday tomorrow. Saw some people there with Pirate paraphernalia.

my boy.........

 

prom..........

 

This past Saturday Noah went to his prom. He went with a girl he's been friends with for the last couple years at school. Her name is Rachael. A good time was had by all.

update # 3 Elijah

Talked to Erika today. She had a Wic appointment today and she saw the nutritionist there for Elijah. She said that Elijah lost another pound and was definitely not healthy. She advised Erika to go back to the doctor again and tell them that she wants an allergy test as well as check for lead poisoning. Erika felt good that someone in the medical field acknowledges that there is a real problem here. She's also only been scheduled with the practitioner each time she has gone to the doctor. So the nutritionist said to make sure she only sees the doctor and no one else and stick with him and if she doesn't get any satisfaction from him she has the name of another doctor who works with children with problems like Elijah is having. So she will be making an appt. as soon as possible and go from there. He hasn't been throwing up lately but still has diarrhea. Thank you for keeping Elijah in your prayers.

the faucet.......

 
This picture is especially for the other white Carol. Yes, I do like my new faucet. Thanks to Dale for bailing us out (pun intended). He did an excellent job. Our faucets been leaking for a long long time. We had arranged with Dale that at some point he would install one for us once we bought it. This past Sat. the leak got worse so Edwin tried to fix it till we got a new one but it was a no go. So we are thankful for our friend Dale who came to our rescue.

Here's some of the pots of flowers I planted around the house.

time to till........

 

Edwin does such a good job of getting my garden ready. Thanks mi sugar'.......

Lactose intolerant???

Erika thinks Elijah may be having trouble digesting dairy. He was doing pretty well for a couple of days and then had pizza and shortly after starting throwing up into the next day. So she's going to keep him away from all dairy for a week and see how he does. Isn't it a shame these days that you almost have to come up with your own diagnosis for your ailments. And wouldn't it be nice to charge the doctors a fee for your own leg work. It can be a little frustrating ya know?

 

Please pray.........

Our grandson is still not doing well. We thought he was doing better but he had a relapse yesterday. Throwing up again and diarreah. Please pray for Elijah to be healed. He really needs your prayers. It would really be encouraging to know those who are praying if you wouldn't mind posting that you are.

Fun day at Rico's ball game.....

update........

I saw my grandson Elijah today and I'm happy to report that he is doing better. He's eating more and going potty less. We were all at Brianna's basketball tournament today. Her team won 3 games out of 4. Not to bad at all.
Later on in the day I finished planting my flowers. Edwin and the boys went to the Barnstormers game. And the girls and I rented the movie Aragon. Bri had read the book and wanted to see the movie. She was disappointed in the movie and thought the book was much better. Usually the way it goes. But not haveing read the book I thought it was a decent movie. Bella had "Wagon Train Day" at school on Friday and here is a picture of her get up. She said she had a great time and came home with some candles that she dipped herself and also made one mocassin. I don't know if Dawn reads my blog or not but the dress Bella is wearing is actually the bridesmaid dress I wore in her wedding. When Erika was in school she wore it for "Wagon Train Day" as well. We got some good use out of that dress.

Elijah

Would you all pray for Elijah. He has had diarrhea for weeks and now today has a fever as well as throwing up. Erika has had Elijah to the doctors as well as to the hospital for tests and so far there is nothing showing up as being wrong. But Elijah has lost 8 lbs. He is already a thin boy and to have him lose weight well it's not a good thing. We are all concerned. Erika has another doctor appt. for Elijah tomorrow (Thursday). Pray for the doctors to have wisdom in caring for Elijah as well as pray for his healing.

Salvation and this too..........

Words spoken on Sunday during the message. Pete closed the message with these words.
Salvation and this too!? I want to keep reminding myself of those words I want to cultivate a thankful heart in myself and in my family. We have so much to be thankful for. For me one of those things is my family. Yesterday was a fun day it was FLOWER DAY. As I have said before on here every year the ladies in my family go flower shopping together. There was 10 of us. How we all look forward to going flower shopping together. There is much laughter and of course lots of flowers. But I forgot my camera. I'm waiting for some pics my neices took of the day and when they arrive I will post the pictures. I'm hoping to get everything planted this week.
Till next time............
