Sunday News

 What a beautiful day here. The wind is blowing just gently enough to keep you cool as you enjoy the Florida sunlight. 
 Haley and I got to enjoy a special time together yesterday. After a birthday party at the clubhouse the girls and I went swimming with their cousins and other friends. Going to the Mirabay pool is always so much fun for the kids and you never know what friends you may see and get to spend a little time with. So fun for kids and mommy. After the pool we changed and Mercedes quickly fell fast asleep. While Mercedes napped peacefully Haley and I took the opportunity to get our nails painted. What fun mommy and daughter moments!!  
 Some good news about my dad now. He is now out of ICU. He went into a regular room in the PCU, which is a step down from the ICU. He wasn't too happy about this. He is tired a lot and very hesitant to get up because he is so weak from being in the bed so much.  They did a CAT scan yesterday to look at possible causes for some intestinal issues he is having along with the issue of his low Hemoglobin and Hematocrit. Because of those low numbers he is having to get another blood tranfusion today. We pray that he begins to slowly gain strength and starts to look forward to going home and moving about again. Albeit a bit slower than before the hospitalizations. 
 Haley and the girls are going to go and see him this afternoon. Hopefully that will lift his spirits a little. 
 I am missing that I didn't get to go to church this morning but I love that I can watch it live online. Although, it is not the same as being there, I enjoy it. 
 It's been fun trying to think of some creative ways to make mom's birthday special. Haley and I love to do things like that. Although Mom doesn't want any attention paid to her birthday I know inside she needs and wants to celebrate life's special moments as much as we enjoy celebrating them with her.
