May 19 – “Blue waffles and bacon”


Cailyn helped even further at breakfast time yesterday.  She and Chris put together a fabulous meal of waffles – blue waffles – and bacon.  Can’t go wrong with blue waffles and bacon.  That’s some good stuff, girls.  Sadly, Cailyn left with her Mom.  They were headed for a grand shopping trip.  Well, I’m not sure about the “grand” part.  Kroger’s and maybe a stop at Marshall’s.  The Marshall’s Plan was what sealed the deal for Cailyn.  I don’t even know what they sell at Marshall’s.  Must be girl stuff …

The LaMarque Vaughan clan is heading out on a vacation.  We have been named the designated dog-sitters for the week.  Freddy will now have an extended sleep-over with her cousin Leia.  Yesterday was drop-off day.  They stopped at Little Caesar’s and brought along some pizzas for the big event.  Cailyn even returned for the chance to hang out with her cousins.  It’s always great to watch them all get together.  Even better when all ten of them are floating around.  Chaotioc, but never a dull moment …

I guess I’ll note a quick update on Chris’ back issues.  The physical therapist remains puzzled at all the nuances of problems she is presenting from session to session.  Her hips are really weak.  One leg seems to be getting weaker.  There is no way she can handle stairs without dragging herself up with her arms.  It is really hard to watch her go through this, knowing how much she likes to take walks and be active in general.  She has an MRI scheduled tomorrow.  That’s a whole other issue.  She is extremely claustrophobic.  Last time she had one they asked me to sit in the room with her.  I started out holding her hand, but that ended up with me patting her leg as she slowly slid into the chamber.  They have been duly informed of her issues, and medication is supposed to be waiting for her.  Apparently I can’t even come in the building, though.  My prayer is that the meds will pretty much knock her out.  Maybe it’ll make for a fun ride home …

John 3:18 says, “Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe stands condemned already because they have not believed in the name of God’s one and only Son.”

Father, please be with Chris a she powers through this whole ordeal.  Help her remain calm for the MRI, and give the docs wisdom to see what needs to happen next.  Amen.
