Today we enjoyed seeing the youngest grandchildren come over and help Papa pick up small sticks from the yard that get crumbled from the lawn mower that our neighbor Eddie so generously cuts for us all year. They followed Papa around and they filled up their containers. Guess what? Papa donated money for their hard work. They got a special treat too...a black snake which they have named "Curvy" and 2 turtles Papa has "caught"...one is named Anna and the other is waiting for a name! I don't indulge myself in the outdoor life of wild creatures in the yard☺. Sebastian is very knowledgeable about making sure we keep "Curvy" safe so he can protect us from rodents. Hm!!
So, I was on the inside with Mommy Hailey, baby MacGyver and Gideon who loves to play with all the toys under the piano. Today he and Baby Mac had a ball tearing up paper all over the floor. What a treat for Mac. I doubt he has ever gotten to do that before:) He is one big guy for 6 months, bald, but blond hair coming and blue eyes, just like his sister Ellington.
After they left, I took a nap and then started making dinner. Now the history behind me making dinner this week is because the people who volunteered to bring us dinner during chemo week were notified that I didn't have chemo so could they please bring it in 2 weeks when I do have chemo☺
We are so appreciative for the times we are blessed with dinners from friends.
Anyway, back to making dinner. I wanted to make dinner for my sister since she got back last night from Baltimore and is still quite sick. She had survived the trip back from Turkey but is weaker and coughing more than ever. Tomorrow she will see another doctor...an allergy ENT specialist. She saw a pulmonary doctor in Turkey with tests, had blood work drawn and was told she had a bacterial infection. She has had CT scans of her lungs here and a chest X-ray here and there. Actually was on a very strong antibiotic there, but, still quite ill. IT is quite concerning to all of us, especially to her!
Maybe tomorrow will give us more hope on the situation. Meanwhile, I continue to pray for her health and immune system to fight this off. Prayers are being prayed daily on her behalf and she has been the one who wanted to help me through all my stuff. God gives us strength for when others need it!
A reassuring Psalm for us tonight is: Psalm 121
"I lift up my eyes to the hills. From whence does my help come? My help comes from the LORD, who made heaven and earth. He will not let your foot be moved, he who keeps you will not slumber. Behold, he who keeps Israel will neither slumber nor sleep. The LORD is your keeper; the LORD is your shade on your right hand. The sun shall not smite you by day, nor the moon by night. The Lord will keep you from all evil; he will keep your life. The LORD will keep your going out and your coming in from this time forth and for evermore."
