Here We Snow Again!

By


When the boys came home from school on Wednesday, they were bustling with excitement—certain that the next day would be a “snow day”—even the teachers were excited. Some of David’s students haven’t seen snow in 5 years. But alas, when I woke up and looked outside on Thursday morning at 2 AM, I saw that the small accumulation that had come, had melted and rain had taken it’s place.

Today will be different, they say, especially here south of the city, where we live. Several inches beginning soon. It’s rainy outside now, with a big sloppy snowflake now and then…

In Kentucky, people went crazy when snow was expected. A live news report from every corner. I’m wondering how it will be here, where even less snow is seen.

I’m frantically looking for gloves so the boys (and me!) can play outside IF it comes this time.

Please don't tell the boys that Bullitt County had a snow day on Thursday...there was a dusting. Even I could drive in it. Oh well, let it snow, let it snow, let it snow.

February 27 Update

I just called to see if Amy wanted to blog anything today, but at the moment she is talking on the phone to her wonderful friend, Deb Rose. Deb and her husband, Brian, used to live in Louisville several years ago. They were our very best friends. If I were talking to the Roses this evening, I would tell them that Amy is desperately scared. The docs have given her a very stiff dose of antibiotics, but as of this moment, her body temp is climbing once again. Her primary doctor told her he fears that this infection may be fungal in nature. I don’t completely understand all of the implications, except that we are shooting at this infection with our biggest guns, but it just keeps on coming. In her introspective manner, she shared with me today that if she had known she would lose her sight, she would have invested it more wisely in the things she read and watched: “What if I go completely blind and can’t read the Bible? I have to get more serious about memorizing.” This morning a do...

March 2: HOME!!

By
From his vantage point at our front door, three-year old Seth delightedly shrieked, "Mommy," and I turned in time to see Amy being driven down our long driveway. Our three blond-haired boys buried their faces in their mother. Even the house sighed contentedly. Amy's home. A Happy Husband, David

It is so good to be home! My mind has written an update several times but sometimes my thoughts were too jumbled to be written articulately. Most importantly, I wanted to express how deeply grateful I am to each of you for your prayers and written support. David or my sister would read your comments to me and they brought me so much comfort in some of the darkest hours. It was such a surprise to hear from friends from years ago. I have shed alot of tears and just when I thought I couldn't possibly cry again...another torrent would follow. Being home has helped alot. Just being with my precious boys has brought alot of comfort. The hospital didn't allow children under age 12 to visit but they did make an exception for short visits. One of the most difficult decisions that was made was to place Seth in preschool 5 days a week from 8-12. The school offered this to us at no expense and since my health is still tenuous, it is the best decision...and my head knows this but my heart h...
