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.

My trivia question for today is

How long can a person's liver not be functioning properly, before that person will get very sick???? Preston is still very jaundiced, I mean he is yellow! But he is not sick. If the bile is not leaving his body, why isn't he sick from it? I guess we will find out Tues. He goes to the gastro-interologist on Tues. afternoon. He is very excited to be riding again to the dr. and back in the ambulance. He enjoys that. I just hope he doesn't get sick from this, and that it will go away. We don't need any more hospital stays or a bunch of tests run, which is what he will have to have if this doesn't clear up. Things are doing well, why this????

Junior and I got him up today and got him in the shower, and he sat on his shower chair and we gave him a good shower and washed his hair. He said it felt good. We are going to have to do this at least 2 times/week. Soon I will have help and we can do it more often, during the day. By evening, he is very tired. He goes to sleep about 8 p.m. or shortly afterward. He still has a lot of healing to do, and maybe this malfunctioning liver problem is attributing to his tiredness. But he is talky and listens to his stories on cd or tape every day. The pastor came today and he really enjoyed that. He visited with him. It is sooo nice he can talk again.

Gotta get to bed.
