Snow!!!











Out my front windows....it looks like this right now....we are in the middle of two big weather fronts that decided to join forces....of, course it is a snow day. Megan gets to stay home from school but Ben still needs to get to work this afternoon....he just checked and the buses are running so that's a good thing....I wouldn't want to drive in it and I certainly wouldn't want hubby to go out in it since his incision still has some open gaps. Maya was suppose to do a shift at the coffee shop this morning but I was able to use the storm as an excuse for her not going in.....maya has been showing signs of some regression these last two days.....it's a little scary, and we're not quite sure of what to do....I've been trying to get her into a program that helps people , like Maya, but you need a doctors referral ....tried to get her into the family doctor but they're closed today with the storm and the soonest I can get her an appointment is next Wednesday.....

Please pray for our daughter Maya......and for our little grandson Samuel who got influenza a bit ago and now he has pneumonia....poor wee guy......


That's a pic of him falling asleep during his lunch when he had the influenza....usually he looks like this.....


Well, not always covered in chocolate cake...but certainly smiling and happy...he's our Smiley Samuel!

Have a good weekend, people!

Recovery

Good Morning.....at our house these days, we are in recovery mode.....first Maya and then Don.....






Things are a lot quieter in our household these days then they had been for the previous month......Maya is slowly getting back to her life..(today, she resumes her driving lessons) and hubby has a huge incision ,that the visiting nurse that comes and checks it every other day, is healing well....

Don and I are very appreciative of all the help that we received and all the prayers murmured on our behalf....we really don't know how we would have got through this whole nightmare without the help and prayers....

Life does go on....different appointments continue to fill the calendar, although I had said that I'd love to go into hibernation when all this was done! Life doesn't really allow you to do it....although the weather is certainly cold enough to want to!

I'm hoping that the family will all be available to gather on Easter Sunday for a family dinner...Don, Maya and I missed it on Christmas Day.....it would be nice to gather together.....someone pointed out to me how our family pulled together throughout all this trial.....and when I looked back on it all, they were correct....it does this mothers' heart good.
