SUMMER DAY 29, Sat June 27

First, an update on Larry's dad.
The hospital released him at about 5:30 tonight. There's really not anything that can be done other than giving him a transfusion, wait for the bleeding to stop & sending him on his way. It'll happen again, but thankfully he survived it this time. Unfortunately, this is his life now. He will go back & forth between the bleeding issue & heart issues for the rest of his life. Sadly, one day, one of these 2 things will take his life. We are not giving up hope for him to seek Jesus and place his faith in Him. At this point, the damage is already done to his body and there is no turning back the clock, so to speak. Thank you for the prayers. Please continue to lift them up for him.

Larry got up & was out the door by 9:30 this morning. He had to run an errand, then he went to my dad's house to fix a squeaky belt on his truck, then went to the town where his dad was hospitalized & stayed there with him the rest of the day til he was released. He drove him home & got him settled before driving back home tonight. So it's really just been the kids & I all day.

Today has blessedly uneventful. It was a great day of balance between quiet, restful, relaxing time and getting things accomplished and spending time with the kids. I love days like that!

Savannah is out of town with her girlfriends this week. We'll go pick her up on Wednesday. She calls to check in every night & seems to be having a lot of fun. They've had a lot of late evening swimming, yummy foods, trips to stores & places that are foreign to her....but she loves it! We're crossing our fingers that we can convince her friends to come to our house before the summer is over & stay a couple days!

I'm headed to the shower now but I'll leave you with this sweet picture. (Mom--you'll recognize these!) The kids stayed with my parents last week on the day that I took Larry to play golf. Mom is an avid crafter/sewer. While he was there, Samuel created 2 sleeping bags for this stuffed bunnies (that he sleeps with every night). Last night, I went in to turn out lamps & make sure everyone was covered up & found this laying beside him. Sweet!

Glad to hear that Larry's dad is out of the hospital. I know that this must be a hard time for him especially.
