This is the only way it would let me post :(

Here it is December, where has time gone. I just realized this a.m. I have not posted pics of our new home, where we moved to in May. I am really bad at blogging now :( Preston is doing great! He did have a cold, but other than that, he is doing well! We are so thankful for that.Missie loves Union Bible Academy. She has moved into the dorm so she won't have to drive 1 1/2 hrs/day and during winter it would have been hard. She loves living in dorm and having her friends there. She is in choir and absolutely loves that and travels when they travel. She is maintaining a B average, and that is great! It was a big switch to switch from ACE cirriculum to textbooks, but she has done very well. We love our home, and spending our first holidays in it! Will post some pics.

Sunday update

Well, I don't get to update as often as I would like.
Preston is taking a long time to bounce back this time. He had the seizures and then had to have emergency surgery on Tues. I hope there will be no lasting effects, but that soon he will be feeling better. He told me today he was losing his speech. He is just so tired and has some trouble talking. He gets up with help and goes to the bathroom and sits and rocks for a while. Jr. feels when the tiredness wears off from the surgeries and seizures, he will be ok. I sure hope so. He went down such a long way from the previous week to this past week. It is so sad. He seems to have no desire or joy for living. I hope he will again, soon.
The spinal fluid culture did not show any bacteria growth. So hopefully the bacteria is getting out of his system. Friday he told me when the pastor was there, that it might be time for him to depart from this earth. I said, "What about mommy? Do you want to leave her?" , He said, "If I have to go, I have to go." The pastor feels he is talking this way because he has been in the hospital and been so sick.
Junior has been with Preston for the weekend. I go back in a.m. and stay until Friday. He is planning to mow the grass tomorrow and then back to work on Tues.
It is just hard not knowing what the future holds. But we can only take one day at a time at this time.
Please continue to pray for him.

I can't imagine how exhausted you must be, physically and emotionally! We will continue to pray.
