Please Be in Prayer...

Shortly after I wrote my last post, around 11 a.m., Grandpa George passed away. Garnetta said he was gone within 10 minutes of them finally removing the BiPap
machine. The funeral is this Friday at 2 p.m. with visitation at 1 p.m.
They did not think Grandma could handle a longer visitation and they
are probably right. Please be in prayer for Jeromy's family, especially
his grandma, we are not sure if she even understands what has happened.

Jeromy's Grandpa

On Thursday night, we received a phone call from Jeromy's mom informing us that his grandpa was being admitted to the hospital with pneumonia. His grandpa has been very sick for the past four years. In February? of 2004 he was in a serious accident where a semi truck ran a red light and hit his minivan as he was turning left. At that time, we thought he would not make it. But, God healed him. Since that time he has been in and out of the hospital. After his last bout in the hospital Aunt Jo and Garnetta decided that they would order a DNR. So now that brings us to today.

Garnetta called us yesterday morning to tell us that it wasn't looking good. Without tubing him and placing him on a ventilator he would probably pass away either Monday or Tuesday. Obviously, Jeromy wanted to be down in Dayton with his family. So I headed to Clay to prepare my things for a substitute for the next two days, we packed, and then headed down the road.

When we arrived, Aunt Jo, Grandma, and Jamie were leaving after a long hard day. Grandma is also sick and she had been there for about six hours. Grandpa was awake but unresponsive the entire time we were there. We stayed until about 9:30 p.m. (with a short dinner break). Before leaving we learned that the doctor wanted to take him off his BPAP machine. By doing this, it would not be much longer before he passed. Garnetta decided (after Jamie called Aunt Jo) that we would wait to remove the machine when Grandma could be there in the morning.

So, that's where we are now. I am out in the waiting room because the room was too crowded. Jeromy said he would let me know if anything happened....As I wrote that Jamie came out to bring me some milk. She said the doctor hasn't even been in yet. So, we are still waiting.

We're Pregnant!

Believe it or not...WE'RE PREGNANT! We have kept it a secret because of past history. On some level we are still nervous, but I feel more confident now and definitely excited! At this time we are due on December 21st. So we are having a Christmas baby! The ultrasound picture was taken yesterday. The little balloon thingy is what is left of the yolk sac. Isn't it amazing clearly you can see the head when it is only an inch long?

Please keep us in your prayers as we are still very early in our pregnancy!

Evolution of a Playset

Yesterday, Jeromy and I went to Kelly's house early in the morning to put together their new playset. Okay, it wasn't that early, but around 10:00. Anyways, Jeromy and Monny worked on it all day with short breaks for lunch, dinner, and Alex's t-ball game. After about six hours of working (this does not include the breaks) it is still not finished. Jeromy is planning on going over tomorrow to at least put the slide together. Here are some pictures from the day. As you can tell, Alex and Elena spent a lot of time supervising.





Hopefully I will soon have pictures of the completed project to share!
