Update

Mom called a few minutes ago. Dad is now stable and has no pain. I guess his pain level was about a 12 he said.
They put in an IV and doing the pain meds through that.
They took him down to have chest x-rays and then asked if they wanted to have a CAT Scan done. That way they could see if there was any blockages and do surgery.
Dad was like, uh. (Kinda out of it and high off the pain meds...) Mom said, well, they told us there is nothing they can do since the cancer has pretty much taken over his liver. Also we were told that if he were to have surgery, it would do him in. He wouldn't be able to handle it. SO...
Then the doc said, well, we can have him transferred to Parkview Hospice. Dad's heart doc is the one who recommended the Parkview Hospice. I guess there are MANY different kinds of Hospice out there, and the one that came to the house the other day wasn't Parkview, but still good. SO.... The doc then left for mom and dad to talk and decide what they wanted to do.
They are either going to get him stable to come home, or go right to Hospice. Not 100% sure yet on the decision. Dad doesn't want to be in the hospital and he would rather be here among the loud munchkins! ;o) They won't admit him at Parkview Hospital, so he will either be released or go to Hospice.
Mom said that the fluid is just filling back up. He just had the procedure done yesterday and you can't even tell. The important thing is, he is comfortable right now. We just don't want him to suffer or have pain. Hospice would help with the pain that he has too. So I guess that is where we are now.
I told mom if she wanted me to come, I would, I would take Thad with me and if anyone got in my way, I would punch them and tell them to get out of my face! :o)
Dad is still fighting, he is not giving up! Their faith is still so strong! Still feel at peace, don't want anything to happen to them or want my dad to go, but it's all in God's hands, always has been and always will be!
Will update as soon as I find out more info!

Run-Aways

Wow, this has seriously been an eventful week! Starting off with the whole fabric softener mis-hap, which you can read on here if you didn't see or hear about it! Then Curt left Monday nite, Tuesday, well, it was ok, we had mom's group and the kids were acting up a bit, but nothing too bad... Then Wednesday I had a meeting at the church... It started out ok, the meeting wasn't long at all! Gavin came into the room and said he wanted to go play outside on the playground. I told him no, because I couldn't see him. I said, what if someone came by and picked you up and grabbed you and took you somewhere? Mommy would never see you again and I would be soooo sad! I said, I can't see you, so you need to stay inside. Well, not more than 3 minutes passed and Kotah comes up to me and says, uh, mom, Gavin is trying to go outside. So, I get up, go over to him and talk. I asked him what is he doing? he says, I WANT to play OUTSIDE! I said, bubby, I can't see you, so you can...

Judah's Wife Book Review

I received this book from Bethany House for free if I agreed to read and then blog about it. Judah's Wife is by Angela Hunt. I've read a few of her books and absolutely enjoyed and loved them!  I was very excited to be picked to read this book! I've honestly not read anything from the books of Maccabees.  This story is the "silent years' between Malachi and Matthew. I really would like find Maccabees now to read it since I've read this book. This book was amazing! Love being able to read stories that really capture what it was like.  Angela Hunt has done this in this book. I really enjoyed how she told it from Judah's side and Leahs side.  It would go back and forth, but it wasn't confusing at all. Talks about Leahs up-bringing and how she struggled. Her father wasn't a real father figure and in time she realizes how much her mother protected her from her father and his blows. She struggles to truly love Judah at first who was somewhat fo...

Whew...

written 4-7-18 Wow! It's been a while since I"ve blogged...  Crazy fun times around here!  :) We had a BIG EVENT for our church Friday night.  It was awesome!!!  All about where we are and what we need to finance our new church building we are building!  We were to take a card and pray about a number and donate for the building fund.  It was a FANTASTIC awesome night to say the least!!! Curt and I have been praying about a number that God wants us to give.  We both feel a number, we can't afford.  haha...  We really can't afford anything because we still have 2 adoption credit card bills we are paying off.  God has blessed us and given us what we need each month.  But we want to give, and adding it up and looking at our budget and writing it all out, it's not there.  Nothing is there!  But that's the way it was with adoption!  We took that step of faith! So that was Friday...  Saturday morning went to ke...
