March 18 - “Giving it the old college try”

We woke up around 6 to some serious rain yesterday. Actually I woke up to some pretty loud thunder around 3:30. I managed to doze off and on from there, though. We faced the prospect of a cold, rainy, blustery day.

 

Freddy had an appointment of her own yesterday. Apparently, she needed everything. At least that’s what the emails we have been receiving said. Rabies vaccination. Blood test for heart worms. Flea and tick stuff. In a nutshell … Big bucks. Yep. Freddy looked at Chris, with all her doctor’s appointments, and said, “Hold my beer.” She was declared all good, though. Should be another three years before we have to go back. Well, except for the fact that we got the “when she reaches a certain age” speech. We’ve heard that one, Doc. Many times.

 

AnnaGrace update. Josh texted after her doc appointment and let us know the news from that front. AnnaGrace will be having surgery on Tuesday. The arm is displaced and twisted. Apparently, that is a common injury among kids her age. The surgery only takes 15 minutes. They will put it back in place and put pins in.  In about six weeks the pins come out. Of course, Chris still wants to fit in a quick trip[ to Waco between our other medical entanglements. We’ll see.

 

We did get what we thought was some good news from a UTMB phone call for a change. Chris’ new glasses were in and ready to be picked up. I had to convince her to wait until after Baylor won their March Madness game, but we made our way to the East End of the Island as soon as the game ended.  And then … there was apparently something wrong with the prescription. The tech assured her that her brain probably just needed time to adjust after two months of no glasses at all. The doctor generally wants patients to wear them for a few days or a week before making changes. Not particularly helpful when we leave for Hawaii in about two weeks. She’s one disappointed lady right now. She’s giving it the old college try though.

 

Romans 10:13 says, for, ‘Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.’”

 

Father, thank you that we have answers about AnnaGrace’s arm. Please heal it quickly and help her keep her great spirits up. Amen.
