Sunday update

Well, it was not our usual Sunday around here.

This a.m. about 1:30 or so, Missie started throwing up. Of course, it woke Preston up, because our house is so small, there is no where to go and throw up where it doesn't wake the rest of us, except outside. So! Missie threw up several times, and I was so exhausted I didn't get up until almost 10 a.m. Around 4 a.m. she was up because she was sick, and Preston had soaked his bed. So she came and got us to change him. I barely remember getting up and helping change his diaper and pads. After a late breakfast, Junior was so tired he laid on the bed and went to sleep. I told him today that we are getting old. Maybe we just are totally worn out from Preston's long hospital stay, as well. But we cannot do what we used to do. Anyhow, Missie's tummy was uneasy all day, but the throwing up stopped this a.m. We are hoping and praying Preston does not get this. Because when he starts, he cannot stop, usually. It means a hospital visit for us when he gets the stomach flu.

My mom has been so sick; we have been worried about her. But today she called me and said the Lord sent an angel from Heaven. A lady from their church came and did some housework for her (she doesn't keep Sunday as we do, this lady) by dusting, vacuuming, etc., and then had brought food from home and cooked supper for Mom and Jim. Mom was so relieved and grateful for the help. She is coming back on Tues. to help them some more. God is so good. When family won't step in and do their job; God always has someone else. My brother did go up this a.m. and opened all of mom's windows to let in some fresh air, carried out garbage, and he vacuumed as well. I was thankful for that as well. It is so hard when I am so far away. When we get to Penn View, I will only be about 6 hrs. away, yippee! I will be able to go up on weekends if necessary and help her.

We are are hoping for a good night's rest tonight, AND THAT NO ONE ELSE IN THIS HOUSEHOLD GETS THE FLU!
