One Day At A Time
Mom has come a long way since I have updated you. Today I curled her hair and told her to go look
in the mirror and see if it looked ok.
All of the sudden, I realized she was not holding on to anything!
Go Mom!
Mom has a long way to go but she has really done so good! I am so much like my Mom. Me & drugs don't do well. Mom can't handle them either. I am mean when I have had to have them. Mom is just kind of depressed. I know it is not fun for her but I really think she is doing great. She has not turned down any therapy at all. She is the strongest person I know. She doesn't see that though. If that had been me, and going through what she has went through, I would be the biggest baby!
I gave her this verse tonight:
Wait on the Lord: be of good courage, and he shall strengthen thine heart: wait, I say, on the Lord.
Please keep praying for her!
She told me to tell you all, thank you for the prayers, but please don't stop praying!

Update On Mom
Bless her little heart! She has been through it. They finally got her to walk down the hall about 60 ft. with the help of 2 techs & a walker yesterday. She was pitiful but once she was up she did pretty good. We were so proud of her!
Fast Forward to this morning! I walked in this morning and she had the best attitude and was so happy. They were moving her to rehab!
Then they did an ultrasound of her legs and found 2 blood clots! She cried. It is so scary. I cannot imagine what she felt. So then they come and and tell us that they will be doing surgery to put a filter in to keep the clots from going to her lungs. They told us they would do surgery tonight. Well, we waited and waited and finally someone came and said they changed their minds and they would be treating her with bed rest and blood thinners. The one thing that she doesn't need to do with the back surgeries she had is to lay but she has no choice!
Please Please keep her in your prayers!

Roller Coaster
Update on my Mom:
Today has been a trip! Whew!
First of all we were up getting ready at 5 a.m.
when Mom text and says they are taking her earlier to surgery
than they had planned. They told Mom that she would be gone before
we could get there. But when we got there she was still in her room.
I sure was glad. Mom had a good attitude about the surgery when we got there.
She said she got her mind on the Lord and she had a peace about it.
Then they came in and said that she needed 2 units of blood!
I said, "Are you sure you have the right patient"? They said yes.
I just didn't understand since we haven't heard anything about that.
Mom got very upset as anyone would.
Then they came to get her. She had tears in her eyes as they took her.
They called us every hour and updated us which made us feel better.
BUT
She didn't come back for 7 hours!!!!
They said that they had a hard time waking her up.
When she came back, she was pitiful.
But thank the Lord, as she began to wake up, we could see our Mama was coming back.
She has talked non stop which is weird for her!
She got to eat some jello and drink some tea.
That is the first food she has had in 5 days!
She has a hard road ahead of her but she is strong and she will do it.
She says to tell you all please don't stop praying for her.
From our family........Thank you!

The View
This is the view from Mom's hospital room.
Can you see the place where the helicoptors land
when they have to bring someone in?
I think Life Force is what it is called.
So far we haven't saw any come in, thank goodness!
Mom is doing amazingly well!
We know where our help comes from!
Thank you so much for the prayers.
Prayers do work.
She still has a long road ahead but we are so thankful.
Her second surgery is now scheduled for Friday so
continue to pray!
Just wanted to update you all!
Thank you so much!

Our Kitchen: AFTER
My kitchen sink |
This is my other table on the other side of the kitchen. When I get all the chairs for the farm table I will be able to seat 12 people in my kitchen. |
I LOVE this cabinet. It is in the rock and is huge. It has lots of space for everthing! |
This is my island. Did I tell you that I did all the cabinets myself? |
When I told Sweet Hunter that I wanted to do them, he of course said, no. He was worried about my shoulder (got rotator cuff problems) but I wanted to do them and I did! |
Remember the oven unit was in the wall that we removed? The old refrigerator was sitting where the oven is now. Then we put the refrigerator right next to it. I LOVE my refrigerator! |
See my lights? I will show you close up pictures in another post. A friend of mine had these in her house and she decided to sell them. So guess what? I got them!!! |
The hardwood floor is all throughout the house. I think it is beautiful. My Sweet Hunter is a carpet salesman and we don't have any carpet in our house!!! Well, that is my kitchen for now. I have lots more planned for it but so far I LOVE it! If you missed the BEFORE pictures you can go Here! *************** Update on Mom: We spent the day Monday getting all her pretesting for surgery over with. She has to be at the hospital at 5 a.m. and her first surgery will be at 8 am. next Tuesday. I will keep you all updated. Please continue to pray for her. Her name is Alice. Will you please call out her name in your prayers? Thank you all! A special thank you to my friend, Becky for posting a special post for me and Mom! Click on her name and it will take you to her blog! We have never met but have become the best of friends over the years. 2013 is gonna change that though. We already have made plans to meet!!! |

My Farm Table
O.K. "Crazy me" decided I wanted an old farm table instead of the typical dining room table. I found this one and fell in love. This is the way it looked in the store. |
Sweet Hunter went to pick it up and I could tell by the look on his face, that he was thinking.......oh no! But I had a vision AGAIN! Everyone that saw it either hated or loved it! |
I went to Home Depot and bought 3 "common boards". Then my carpenter screwed it right on the table top and added some trim. I had already sanded the base of the table. |
I took Minwax Javabean stain and rubbed all over the table. |
On the base I used an off white paint and mixed it with a clear glaze to distress it. I used 1 part paint to 4 parts glaze. |

Our "New To Us" House
The Kitchen Before |
This is the kitchen before we started on it. Can you see that other room? That is the dining room. |
When we first saw the house, we both said the good thing was that we would not have to tear any walls down. BUT.... |
That didn't last long!!! The more I looked at the kitchen and the dining room, the more I felt like I needed to tear that wall with the oven out! |
On the other side of the cabinets with the oven in it (that is gone now), was a closet made with special shelves just for china! I don't have any china! So the closet came down too! |
When I first suggested the wall to come down, sweet hunter wasn't too thrilled about the idea. Here he is wondering if I did the right thing. |
BUT, when he came in and saw the wall down, he LOVED it! Look at the 3 windows that were in the dining room and are now in my kitchen. |
This is the oven that was in the kitchen! It was a very nice outdated oven that is gone now! |
