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.

Home Sweet Home

WE ARE GOING HOME MONDAY, LORD WILLING.

I can hardly wait. Preston is excited too, I know.

We are getting everything we need including a hospital bed, etc. and probably he will be taken home in an ambulance. We just can't get him and out of our car right now.

We have had 2 ramps given to us, pending pickup. Jr. will be able to use the wood to build a ramp. We need a wheelchair ramp.

The discharge people here are so nice. She is calling different places to see when we can get Preston's therapies started. We may be able to get home health and therapists services through the hospital system. Everything is falling into place. We are just so happy that we are going home at last. We have been in here since April 31.

Preston had his G-tube put in Wed. and did fine with the surgery. They haven't started to feed him again yet, but are supposed to this evening, and then make sure he is tolerating the feedings, etc. And I have to know how to do all of that. It is not that hard; I am not worried about it. Just have to be careful to not let any germs get into the tube. All we need is another infection!

We got Preston up today; I know his tummy still is sore, but the more he can move around, the better it will be for him.

Just had to share out exciting news.
