For some reason, I cannot post any pictures, so can't get a picture on here of Preston sitting outside yesterday.
Anyhow, I wanted to share something cute that Preston said the other day. I have a frame in the shape of the a school and you put one picture in for every year for 12 years. Well, he has 11 pictures in it, and this year will be the last picture for me to add. I told him I had one more picture to add, and he said, "that will be the end of me." I thought that was so cute and quite smart as well! I am thankful for his sense of humor.
We received a HUGE compliment at church tonight. Joy James was talking to Preston when Jr. and I walked up to him after church. People at the hospital are constantly asking her about him, and how we are doing. Anyhow, she said that we take such good care of him. She said she was telling someone that every since he has been born and had a lot of illness, that we have always taken care of him like it was what we were supposed to do. I told her some in both families don't agree with us taking care of him, but that he was our child and not their's. Anyhow, it was a great compliment that she paid us. We do try to take care of him. I told her we get very tired. But as long as we can; we will continue to do what we are doing.
Missie has decided she wants to go to youth retreat. So she is going. I would rather her stay here; I feel better if she is here with me. But her daddy especially feels she needs to go; so I will manage ok. I will have help 3 hrs. both Thurs. and Fri. that she is gone. I always worry about her; but have to trust the Lord to take care of her. I don't think I could ever live without Missie. I lean on her, probably too much; but I feel so much better when I have her here to help me. Anyhow, it will be so good for her to go. She is looking forward to being with the Olivers and their children.
That is my update for today.

Nice compliment! Anyone who doesn't think that you do a good job, never had to walk in your shoes.
I know it's hard to let Missie go, but it is the best thing for her. I have a hard time when my oldest son is gone, he is such a big help. They need breaks too.
Jr. & Norma,
Thanks for sending me your link to you blog. I have missed it since early September due to computer problems.
However Preston is on our prayer list and our entire church prays for him and your family.
Keep Looking UP!

Thanks Don and Nona! Prayers is how he has come this far. I am still fighting exhaustion. It will take time for us all to recup.
Hope Nona and your grandsons are doing well.
Les, I know you are right. Missie needs to go to the youth rally. I just feel so lost without her when Jr. is at work, and tend to worry about her. It is so far, but going with people we trust supremely, and I will put her in God's hands.
