From Yellow Beach Dog!

This package came in the mail last weekend. Inside was this lovely, lovely book!! I won it from Yellow Beach Dog.
I want to have a party when Wally comes home from the hospital. He's been fighting an infection, besides the complications from surgery that included a blood clot in his lung, the pneumonia, and his depression. This book will give me inspiration and it really lifted my sinking spirits! Thanks, MJ!

Now why is it that I loaded these pictures in reverse order so that they would come out like I wanted with the package first? I don't understand how this works and so many people have lots of pictures on a post. I usually only post one picture at a time as I am easily frustrated when I don't know all the shortcuts. So if anyone has a clue, please share it with me.

Sunday Morning

Psalm 30:5b

Weeping may remain for a night,
but rejoicing comes in the morning.

It's been a while since I've posted because Wally is still in the hospital. A week ago he had to have his stitches opened and his abdomen washed out, not once, but two days in a row. He had an infection and swelling that was causing the extreme pain. We found out he has a pseudomonas bacterial infection and is in isolation so we must put on gowns, gloves, and a mask when visiting him.

Needless to say, he is discouraged and I am tending to feel the same way.

The pink rose (pictured above) is one we got for Wally's father's day two summers ago. It's as if it knows he's not at home because in June it was NOT blooming and had buds that withered and dried up. It is now starting to bloom and I am taking that as a sign that recovery is coming.

SWEET PRAISES

Buster (Sarah's dog) is missing Wally and Sarah and waiting patiently for them to come home.

Who would think that answering a phone or sitting up in a chair for two hours would be so sweet? That is what Wally did yesterday! He even asked for his glasses for the first time since June 2. He did have a good day, which means so did I!

Buster and I dropped Sarah off at DIA this morning so she could fly to Vermont to pick up her client that she cares for. Sarah took Alli to camp and now it is time for her to fly back home. Alli is in a wheel chair and has an assisted communication device so she can talk. The two of them get along quite well and even went on a road trip to Atlanta a year ago spring.

Now I am ready for some real sleep and then I must mow lawn later if it doesn't storm. And take a picture of Sarah's great find at GW last night and share that later.
