Happy Thanksgiving!

Lots to be thankful for!!!!! We just got home from our annual family gathering for Thanksgiving and it was so "blessed"! I feel so guilty not updating this!!! I guess with facebook on now, Kristina keeps everything more up to date than I do! I apologize! He went fishing yesterday with Mike and didn't catch much but still a day on the lake beats any day for him. At least the weather was good! We loved seeing everyone today. This only happens once a year so usually there are ones that are not with us anymore that were there last year. Just glad we were able to go. Karen and Rick brought Ruth and she looked so pretty and was in such a good mood and seemed to know everyone. I am thankful they went and got her!!! Tara brought the newst addition, Parker. He is so precious and has the darkest hair! We all ate real good and are stuffed! Time for a nap, at least that is what Terry is doing! T goes Wednesday and Thursday next week to have his photopheresis and we will see the doctor. Hopefully, we get to discuss coming off some more meds! We didn't get to last time because of him getting the swine flu! Tomorrow is the only day we go seperate ways, Auburn/Alabama game!!! Split family! All I can say is ROOOLLL TIIIIDE!! And he would say "War Eagle" although he know's Bama is going to win! We'll see, anything can happen on Iron Bowl Day!!! Sorry to all you AU fans! We love all of you, JB we got your message! Thanks for calling and leaving such a sweet voice mail! God Bless You and Happy Thanksgiving!

Happy 51st T!

We celebrated T's 51st birthday on Sunday! Wasn't feeling so great though and still isn't. His fever has not come back and he still has a cough. But hopefully with everyday it will get better. We are not really sure when he will go back to be tested to see if he still has it. Dr. Vaughan was quick to get us out of there with masks, even me! He was scared his other patients would be infected with it. I can't blaim him! So far I have not had any symtoms of the flu and God willing I won't! God knows I have to take care of him. We are supposed to go to a family gathering on Saturday for Garrett before he leaves on Monday. Maybe wearing masks! We'll see, I am going to call the doctor to make sure it is ok to go. Would REALLY hate to miss this!!!!!! Kristina is working at DCH to finish up her preceptorship and hopefully will be through soon! Dec. 12th can't get here fast enough for her!! Please keep us in your prayers! God Bless You and lots of BIG hugs and kisses!!!! Thanksgiving is almost here and there is SOSOSOSOSO much to be thankful for! Alyce

Got the Flu!

T has been in the hospital since Wednesday. What we thought was an infection in his port turned out to be the flu! One day he is fine, the next he's not! He went fishing on Tuesday and had a GREAT day with Garrett. They caught alot of big fish and had a great time except the flat tire on the boat trailer. Then on Wednesday after his photopheresis he got to feeling really bad. When Kristina got home his fever was 100.5, then when I got home an hour later, it was 101.4 and 30 minutes later it was 101.6. So we got ready and Kristina and Garrett went to the hospital with us and they admitted him immediately. He got lots of antibiotics through his port and fluids and they thought his port had gotten infected. But today after they decide to let us go home, after he had no fever last night or today, they told us it was the flu! He is on Tamaflu for 5 days and hopefully it will get out of his system. Please pray for him and pray we don't get it! I cleaned everything with anti-fungal spray and cleaner when we got home! Tara had Parker yesterday and they are both fine and are going home tomorrow! Kristina is graduating in December and we are SOSOSOSOSO happy! Garrett is leaving in a week to go into the Navy! Keep us all in your prayers So much going on, don't have time to be sick! God is good and I believe he will see us through all this! Sorry, I have updated earlier! Just too tired I guess! Hugs to all of you and God Bless! Alyce
