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.

Tues. a.m. update

Well, I do not have a good update. Fever is not real high, but he is not responding and we cannot get him awake very easily. Dr. Johnson has ordered a CT scan STAT and he just got back from that. So I am waiting to hear from him. We feel he has fluid on the other side of his brain. The internal shunt seems to be doing well for the right side, but if there is fluid on the left side, then something has to be done about that. I just don't know how many surgeries he can keep on having. I am not trying to be negative or pessamistic, but I don't want him to continue suffering. I have released him to the Lord, if He wants to take Preston to Heaven. I will miss him and grieve for him, but I don't want him to keep suffering. He has suffered so much in his 18, almost 19 years. Junior is more optimistic. He feels if they can put another shunt in he could be home by the weekend. Only God knows. But I know in Heaven he would be normal and happy. I keep thinking of the song that Greg and Susanna sing, "If you could see me, now, the pain is all erased, you'd never want me to leave his place, etc." I have given him to God, to the best of my ability.
I should be hearing something soon.
