Well, let's start with the good news. We got a van over the weekend, and we are so thankful to have our own vehicle again. It is a 2003 Dodge Caravan, silver color, and a beautiful van. Will take pictures and get them posted.
The bad news is this: Yesterday Preston was experiencing some tenderness around the scars where he had his surgeries and a slight puffiness in that area. This a.m. when he got up, it was puffy and he is hurting on and off. Sometimes it is a dull pain; sometimes a sharp pain that lasts for a while. There is a redness that hasn't been there before, too, on the one big scar. So! I called the dr. on call and he is not one of our favorites, but he said as long as he was alert he could probably wait until tomorrow to have a CT scan. Otherwise we end up sitting in ER for hours, and none of us want to do that. If he becomes unresponsive, then we would need to take him immediately.
For those of you on my mailing list that attend church with us, we are planning to attend church tonight and Preston wants Pastor Going to anoint him and pray for him. I know God could touch him. When he was young, he had a big swelling of fluid on the outside of his head and he was scheduled for surgery the next a.m. and God healed him. I looked down at Preston and every bit of the fluid was gone. So if it is God's will, He could heal him.
So please pray for Preston. None of us feel able to go through another hospital stay like we had this past year.

Congrulations on the new car. Hope Preston feels beeter soon.
Thanks, Cathy, I feel my nerves are about shot; I don't know how much more I can take physically and emotionally. I can't help but ask, "Why?" He has already suffered so much.
