Sitting Here With Memories

      I am sitting here in a Convenience Store with teenage girls sitting by me visiting and having fun after school before going home. Even though I am 69 and old enough to be their Grandma I am remember being their age and sitting and visiting with my friends before going to my job baby sitting with 3 small children. The resterurant  had a fountaint where I always ordered 7 cent cherry cokes.

     I have been out of school 51 years and three of my High School friends have died in the past few years. I would like to say to the girls look, someday in the future you will be my age and look back and remember the good things said, done, and lived. Though I will not say a word I will pray for them and all teenagers living in this world. My Hubby just came in so I will continue tomorrow.

     Well, here I am back to write more. Being a farmers wife is interesting in going to a Farm Show on the varieties of corn and beans. We had a wonderful meal and leaned about going Organic with the crops we raise. While visiting with a young couple with a 5 year old boy, I was remembering bringing our 2 daughters to this show and realizing it has been over 30 years and so time has flown by. My best memory is the time we were coming home, being on a 4 lane road. A collage bus passed us with football players on it. The girls waved and the bus driver honked the horn and the team waved to them The team was from Purdue where our oldest wanted to go when she grew up.

In December I was in and out of the hospital  and now it is my Husband's turn.  Date is Aug. 12th.  A week ago Hubby was working on a deck we are building on to the back of our house. He put up a ladder to climb up. As He started up the ladder the ladder  kicked out and Hubby went down and bruised His left leg. Within a couple of days His leg was swelling up so we went Urgent  Care. Did not get any pain medication. So yesterday we are back to Urgent Care and saw a Doctor who new her business. She sent us to the Emergency Room. They took e-rays  and did blood work.   Hubby was told He would be staying a couple days in the Hospital to bring down the swelling and address the other issues like INR was up to high, so vitamin K was given. Pain medication given ever 3 hours and a different Antibiotic was given because the blood work showed He may have a Staff infection in His left leg.      
                                         
Today is day one in the process of getting Him well.  The pain meds are given every 3 hours, the antibiotic given. Tomorrow He will be able to go home if all is well and next week to be back for many more tests. I am not sure what medication  will be put on the list.

These are pictures of our daughters, Carrie and Michelle and their husbands Jarrod and Matt. I am so glad for these four Prayer warriors for this time of illness. Dad  and daughters have been talking back and forth about the reports and what the Doctor wants to do.

For me it has been the second time of seeing my Mate in pain and it has been very hard not to break down. I know God is here and is in charge of the situation and assisting the Doctor and Nurces in their job of working as a team to make my Husband well and home.
