Well it looks like the last time I wrote anything on here was August so I think it is about time for an update. It seems like August was forever ago along with September and October. I spent almost the entire month of October in Vanderbilt Hospital. When I left the hospital, I stayed at Mom's house and was waited on hand and foot. She has to be the best caretaker I know! I couldn't even let her leave the house without panicking which was a little inconvenient for her! After coming home and having sitters everyday, I finally got to where I could stay on my own. I have good days and bad days and I still have trouble eating. (imagine that!)
As this Thanksgiving rolled around, I have been so thankful that I am here and able to enjoy this time with my family. There were so many days that I did not think I would be here for another holiday season. If it were not for all the prayers that are being offered in my name, I know the outcome would surely be different. I still have a ways to go and the truth will be told in January when the scans are done so please keep me in your prayers.
We had 30 plus gather at Mom's Thanksgiving day and we started by having another family photo made of everyone. The last one we had made was in 2003 and we have added Cannon, Cord, Will Carter, John Ed and Mary Hollis since then. The children were more than willing to participate because Nita brought a treat box and anyone of the children that smiled and looked at the camera got a treat. After the picture, we circled up and counted (35) to eat and had the traditional Thanksgiving feast. After dinner, a crew loaded up and went to Opryland to see Ice. I was completely worn out so it was bedtime for me. It was a wonderful time and wonderful family memories were made!
