FATHER AND SON...Part one


and keep you for following my blog and your


kindness to me. I pray you find kindness when


you visit here.


Each one of you are so very special.


My blogging has been down as there


are many exciting things going on in


my life.



We have been out of state and it did


me and my husband soooooo much good...


well...I can't speak for my husband...lol...just


kiddin' honey buns....


I'll talk more about our trip in a minute.





First I want to say a special prayer


of THANK YOU TO:


SWEET FRAN




QUEENMOTHERMAMAW/PEGGY




DORIS BJORK


THE GORGEOUS T


MY MOTHER-IN-LOVE


MY FATHER IN LOVE


MY MOTHER


AND


MY DADDY


for all of THE PRAYERS and


ENCOURAGEMENT OFFERED UP FOR


MY SON RICHIE'S, KNEE SURGERY.



I have to tell you I had to do some big


talking to Jesus. Richie's surgery was one they do


thousands of and it was out patient. I think,


I feel, that when you have a child in heaven, you


know how precious life is and I kept telling my son


it would be okay but even HE KNEW, I was trying


to convince myself.



PRAISE THE LORD, with just your usual


recovery pain, he was blessed and the surgery


went fine. He has 3 places that he will have to have


7 stitches taken out in 7-10 days.



PRAYER REQUESTS



1. The HAMIL Family...2 sons were killed in the


tornado as well as their daughter was hospitalized


with head trauma, the mother is 5 months pregnant


and is now out of the hospital after surgeries for


broken bones...and their home was totally destroyed.



2. Bonnie...ovarian cancer


3. Midge...cancer


4. Angel Dawn...cancer


5. Marta...high blood pressure


6. Mike Brown...recovering from severe injuries/


motorcycle wreck


7. Sharon...recovering from stroke. She is a


dear friend of garage sale Deb and she told


me she is doing better but still needs our


prayers.


8. Lori as she deals with the grief of her son's


death on March 26, 2011


9. Aunt Patricia...has hospice coming in home


10. Mary...ovarian cancer


11. Chance...cancer


12. Korbi...much grief still over Lelia's death


13. Mr. C...cancer


14. Loretta and her mother...all care givers


need a special prayer every day.


15. Jess...a safe pregnancy


OUR MILITARY and their families


ALL THE STATES RECOVERING FROM


TORNADOES.


JAPAN


IT IS HURRICANE SEASON NOW AND LET'S


PRAY NO LIVES OR PROPERTY WILL BE


LOST...THAT GLORY TO GOD THEY WILL


FIZZLE OUT BEFORE REACHING LAND.



If someone you have requested prayer for, it


is an encouragement to others to share how your


loved one or friend is doing, or if they still need


prayer.











This is Father and son.


My 6ft. baby boy and my honey buns. He is


pretending to squeeze our son's knee.









This is my son Richard.


He will always be my Richie.


Amy and I always called him Richie.


Most people call him Rich.


For the first 48 hours he had to have this


polar express to his knee...you add ice to this


ice chest type thing...plug it in and it is like a


continous ice pack.


Richie did very well until the day came to


remove his bandage...his knee was quite


swollen and that made him nauseated.


Most of the major swelling was gone in 24 hours.



My husband and I had a wonderful time


visiting with our son and dil, Megan. She was


a good little nurse to Richie. They are a neat


couple.


There are some posts to come of some pictures


we took while visiting.



HUGS


XO

Debbie- You just have so much good in you-an angel here really- always thinking about and praying for others. I think about your child that is in Heaven and know, too, that heartache with a grandchild. I am extra protective of those that are here with us and am like a Mother Duck when they are present.

I am sending up prayers for all those you requessted prayers for...I see so many illnesses every day at the hospital and when the patient leaves my office I offer up a prayer for their health and recovery.

I am so glad that Richie is doing so well after his surgery..maybe it was his Dad's "squeeze" that got him healing!;>)

We, that are healthy, are so blessed. Thanks for this wonderful post. xxoo Diana

ps. Glad you are back safe and sound!

How grand that Richie is doing well. I am praying for all the folks who requested prayer here. That is kind of you to offer this opportunity.

Debbie- so many with cancer and going through some of the hardest time in their lives. The tornadoes have been so deadly this spring and so much has been lost.
So glad to hear that Richie is doing so well! My oldest tore his ACL in high school and had surgery, they kept him one night. It was quite painful, but we had a sports doctor and they did almost all of the pt before surgery so when he was done he only had 2 weeks of pt and off the crutches and back to normal.
Hope Richie continues to heal and that his pain levels stay down as he rehabs!
How are you doing? I am having good days and pt is the biggest thing to change my life in years.
Hugs- Tete
