My precious Papaw

I had recently published a post about how my Papaw could no longer take care of himself and had moved in with my uncle due to dr's order. On Christmas eve on the way to a Christams program my uncle gave us a phone call telling us they were rushing him to their nearest hospital in Chattanooga by life star that he had experienced a stroke. A few minutes later he calls us back to tell us due to inclement weather it was no longer possible so they rushed him by ambulance. Then this morning the 26th they called and stated if we wanted to see him we needed to come now, he had another stroke, can no longer walk or eat solid foods. So we went of course and bless his heart he is so afraid of dying. He can move his legs but is to weak to walk or function but he still has his personality.They discovered he has blocked arteries in his neck which is causing his blood pressure to sky rocket and ultimately causing his severe headaches he has complained about for a while. So you may ask why did they not discover it sooner. Well he is scared of dr's, I would like for anyone reading this to please say a prayer for him that God will let his will be done with him and keep him safe. They want to do surgery, and they are concerned he is to weak for the operation. I pray that God will guide the dr's in the right direction as they make their decision.
My cousin Matthew whom my papaw and mamaw raised since he was a toddler.He is trying to smile but he does not have function of all his face muscles.

My uncle Kenny whom has taken over the role as caretaker for him, he is also matthew's dad, and my daddy's brother, of course.
Matthew whispering his I love you's before he has to leave, he is considerably stressed having to come back to Roane county to serve out his jail sentence for the next 20 days not knowing the fate of our papaw.

Our Christmas 2008

I have put together a montage of our families christmas parties, the church play austin was in and of course christmas day. I am so blessed with a wonderful family and having them all together at christmas makes it very special. Of course we need to remember we would not have such a thing as Christmas amongst many, many other things had it not been for the birth of Jesus Christ, and the fact that God sent his only begotten son for our sins. I have a whole lot be thankful for, and to me these pictures are priceless and proof of that. I would have to say that my favorite picture is Damon rocking out while his brother and sister are playing guitar hero, you will know it when you see it, ha.I hope everyone has a very blessed new year. Allen and Jennifer we missed you, hopefully we will get to see you the 31st.

They had my dads christmas dinner tonight and he got his plaque and a timex watch for working 20 years for the City of Rockwood, yay Daddy!!!! The kids got to see santa too, they were excited." Austin was being bashful and adan was just scared to death, they were both cute though.

Adan's 15 month check up

Adan is 15 months old today, I took her for her checkup and she had to get 3 shots. UGH... I hate it when they have to give my babies shots. Anyways, she was a trooper, of course she cried but only after the 2nd one and she looked at the nurse like What For!! They said she is 19 lbs 10.5 ozs, 30 3/4 inches, her head is 18 1/2 and chest is 17 1/2. She is in the 50% for her height and 10% for her weight. But the dr says it evens out cuz she is average heighth and the weight is good for the length. According to them she has one more set of shots at 18 mths and she is done til the age of 4 thank goodness. I do not know how them nurses do it.
