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.

Monday update

I wish I had a good update, but I don't.
Today has been a bad day. When the heavy meds. from Sat. p.m. wore off, Preston started to have almost constant shaking especially in his legs. I tried to comfort him for hours and finally asked about some meds. to help calm that. So then the dr. had a talk with Junior and I about the pros and cons of his condition. It does not look good at all. I told Preston this a.m. that I would be ok if he had to go to Heaven to be with Jesus. I wanted him to know it was ok if he had to quit fighting and go home to be with Jesus.
He has a pnemonia or deflation of his left lung. His breathing was awful, and they put him on a bi-pap machine again to help with his breathing. It has relieved him. Jr. and I have decided to not put him on the respirator if the bi-pap fails to help him any longer. We will let them administer meds. to keep him as comfortable as possible. Today was the day that Junior really had to cry it all out.
The dr.s do not feel he is feeling any discomfort when he has this shaking. We don't know, of course. He does open his eyes when people talk to him and grunts like he might want to talk back. He especially did this when Bro. and Sis. Parker came in this evening. I believe he heard them but couldn't respond.
So please continue to pray that Preston will not have to lay for days and continue to suffer. That is our prayer. God knows if he will ever get well or not, and if it time for him to go, then we have to let him go.

My heart aches for you! As a mother, I can't imagine your pain, and I'm so glad you have Jesus! What a great comfort! We will continue to pray for Preston, and for the rest of you!
