A Really Tuff Day

Well yesterday was probably one of the worst days in a long time. We went to play Julianna's first basketball game of this season and everything was great until the game before ours ended. She made it clear to me, the team, and everyone there that she was not playing basketball. It put a damper on the whole team. The team struggled and I had to try to coach and take care of her on the bench. Thank God Cliff Goodwin was there. He was able to talk to her. We ended up losing 23-17. I am still having a hard time with how everything when down. When we got home, I took care of things. (Proverbs 22:15)

 We then had a great meal at home...where I spilled everything in the floor (of course, after I had just mopped).

 We went to UAB. Saw Jim, he is under isolation. You have to wear gloves and a gown if you want to see him. All the children did the whole visit was tell me how hungry they were. (Really?) Jim had a better day. As of last night he was fever free for 24 hours. YEAH!

 I have enjoyed doing the simple things for him. I got to change the sheets on his bed, then I washed his back, arms, and legs. He is unable to take a shower.

 We made it home safe once more (PRAISE GOD!). We read the Bible and went to bed. I am so thankful that today is Sunday, so I can worship God and be able my fellow Christians.

 Thank God today...were you able to take a shower, did you have family to greet you this morning, do you have a church family that loves you. We have SO much to be thankful for. Let us live like we believe that God CAN do all things.

JIM IS HOME! Things are back to normal. Bless his heart he is so tired. This is how I see my husband 90% of the time. He sleeps and sleeps. Please pray for us. Jim needs a new heart.

Got the call yesterday afternoon...Jim is back on the ACTIVE transplant list. He is still very weak and sleeping more and more. I appreciate all of your prayers and well wishes. May God help us to hang in there.  Living by FAITH, not by fear. Jeremiah 32:27
