Update!

I fall behind in updating this blog. Sorry about that. Those of you who are on facebook as my friend probably read my updates there.

Preston had a hide-a-scan on his gallbladder and we haven't heard any results from it. But the pain is better, and I don't think he will have to have anything done right now. We praise the Lord if he can avoid any surgery right now.

Junior got another job through the temp. agency. He worked about 9 days and was told he wasn't needed any more. So he was off for a few days but they called yesterday and said for him to go in today. So he went in and he is supposed to go in next week. So we will see. You never know from day to day if he will have a job the next day. But we thank the Lord for each day that he does work, and for the weeks that we have an income. When he gets a decent check I try to buy extra groceries so that we have enough in case he doesn't get a check the next week.

Yesterday was a very stressful day for me. My mom and step-dad were on their way to my cousin's garage in Napanee, where their car was. Dad was driving my cousin's car. He pulled out in front of a car; neither he or mom saw it coming. Mom always helps him look. Anyhow, it basically totaled my cousin's car. She called crying and told Junior she had had a wreck but he didn't know any details. I was on my way to get some groceries. So I didn't know any details for a while, and that was hard. I was very worried about them. But my cousin went to the scene of the accident and took care of having the car towed in, etc. and took them back to his shop. They stayed there until Myles got off work and picked them up and took them home. It was a hard day for them. Mom said it happened so fast! They could have been killed but they weren't and for that, I praise the Lord. I don't know how I would stand it if something happened to my mom. But I am thankful I still have her!

Missie finished summer school yesterday. She did 9 paces in the 2 weeks and is catching up on what she was behind in! We are so proud of her. She will miss her friends and going to school.

We plan, Lord and weather permitting, to have a yard sale next weekend. Junior won't get much on his check, and we are hoping to make some to put with that. Missie will be here to help me have it. It is a big job but we have stuff we need to get rid of and make a little money too!

So, overall, we are all doing good. Missie is still having the muscle/joint problems, but she can't take therapy right now because they took her medicaid away and we are having to reapply for it again and then maybe she can go back. But she has exercises to do at home, so she can continue that. She ripped a muscle in the back of her leg a while back, so that leg is weaker. Sometimes when she is on her knees and tries to get up, her legs give out. But we hope the exercises and therapy will eventually make the difference.

You all take care until I get back with another update!
