It's been a while, hasn't it?

Where oh where do I begin?

Update on my Mom. Her back is not healing. They did a cat scan last week and will determine by that, what the next step is, but they are thinking about injecting her back where the 2 breaks are with a cement type material. I have never heard of this and it worries me but I put her in God's hands. He will take care of her. She will be 80 next month. Her age doesn't help.

Now update on my hand. I had to have a EMG last week of my right arm. It shows that my ulner nerve is severely damaged. That is what is causing the pain and the curling of my fingers into the claw position. I have had EMG's before and know they are quite painful, and this one surely was, but it had to be done. I will be having surgery March 30th to try and repair the ulner nerve. The hand surgeon that did my other hand last fall, will be doing this surgery also. There is no promise that the surgery will even work, but he said it was worth a try. They will do a 6 inch or so incision in my elbow on the inside of my arm. This is 1 reason for the lack of updates. Typing is difficult right now. I do ask for prayers in my behalf and my Mom's behalf. I know this may sound trivial right now, with all that is going on in the world, but this is my 3rd surgery in a year, and I am getting tired of it, and somewhat weary. I had carpal tunnel surgery done on this hand like 14 yrs ago but the EMG showed that it is back also, but we decided to hold out on that for a while.

We have no news on the house. The uncertainty of where we will be living in the near future is scary, but it also is in God's hands.

Like I said before my Mom turns 80 the 28th of April, and she is having a big party. She called me crying begging me to come. We are going to try and go, hoping our mini van will hold out. It's a old 96 Dodge caravan with NO AC and leaks oil!!! It's about 12 hrs 1 way from Dayton to Charleston, SC. It will be hot in the south I am sure. All my siblings will be there, except my sister who died 2 yrs ago. Mom said, "Debbie you have to be here, Susan won't". She broke my heart, I am telling you. For those who didn't know, my sister 2 yrs younger than me, committed suicide 2 yrs ago. That is something we will never get over. Financially I am not sure how we can pull this off, but we are going to give it our best effort. For my Mom.Please pray for this to happen for us. The doc wasn't pleased about me traveling just 3-4 weeks after surgery, but he gave the OK, as long as I will not lift anything.

Brice my grandson turned 2 on St. Patty's day. So hard to believe that baby is 2 already. I miss him so much!!!



Cooper my grandson also, turned 4 on March 7th. He's our miracle baby, who had less than a 10% chance to live and look at this little miracle!!!!



My granddaughter Taylor turned 16 on March 1st. Oh I can't believe it. She is my 1st grandchild, she made me a Nanny. She is driving!!! So hard to believe for this grandmother.



Spring is trying to come to Ohio. It was in the 60's today but highs only in the lower 40's the rest of the week. It sure felt good today!!! Here is a pic of a tulip coming up!!!


I am sure there is much more I could blog about but it has taken me a few hours to type this one!!! That and I am sure you are bored to death by now, if you made it this far...LOL.

Please keep the folks in Japan in your prayers. So much happening right now in the world, makes you wonder what's next? I love each and every one of you. I don't know where I would be without my blogging family!!!

God Bless~
