A Mr Grits Update...and some news to share!

The surgery is officially scheduled for Monday. We have to be at the hospital at noon, but were not told what time the actual surgery will take place. I am thinking it's gonna be a long night for both of us. I will have my laptop to keep me company. I promise to update everyone as I have news. Thank you so much for your continued support and thoughts and prayers. I have received so many emails from everyone, and it means the world to me. I shared them with Mr Grits, and he was very touched. Either that or he was high on the oxygen - couldn't quite tell.

Sometimes, there are points in your life when you momentarily question the Heavenly Father and what he has in store for you. It has been a rough few weeks...and even though my faith has not been tested - I have felt, at times, that I was being tested. A few days ago - I was having a "little crisis" and in full pity-party mode.. Work was getting the best of me, I felt a cold coming on, the baby was cranky and trying to get sick also, I was worried about Bill.....etc. Then I get a call from my son and daughter-in-law.....

I'm gonna be a new Grammy! I have been doing the new Grammy dance for days! :-D

They conceived on their last night in Iraq. How's that for irony?

I made it perfectly clear they did not have to name the baby in honor of this place of conception....i.e. Madelyn Baghdad or David Mosul. They assured me they would not. :-)

So, needless to say - I think this is God's way of saying...."Barb...all is well!" And indeed it is!

Thanks for being there for me during the Highs and Lows....Barb
