It's been awhile and my how things change

I have planned on making a post earlier, but it seems Blogger has changed and it has taking awhile to figure it out. Of course it doesn't support my browser anymore so had to change to Google Chrome...
I know it has been awhile since I've posted and so much has happen in my life and I'm sure in your's too.
Keifer finally returned to work in June and is doing quite well. He will be headed to Pharmacy School at Ole Miss in Aug.
Charles and I celebrated 50 yrs of Marriage on Aug 8, 2011. Our Children honored our wish and we had just a small family get together.

 Charles & I with our 50 cake my sweet Mindy made

 My 4 reasons for living, my 3 sons and their Daddy

My 3 sons Ronnie, Lance and Chuck.

Charles had a bad spell with his stomach 3 weeks ago and I had to take him to the Emergency room, turns out it was his pancreas, we were so blessed, because when they did the CT on his stomach they found a large tumor on his right kidney, He had to have his kidney removed because there was no way to remove the tumor and make sure they got all of the growth. I believe God had his hand in finding the tumor because Dr could find no reason for him to have pancreaitis. I had an appointment with Dr Harold Blalock for a bladder scope the very day that his tumor was found, but of course I had  cancelled  it because he was in hospital. After we were informed of the tumor Dr Blalock's nurse called to reschedule my appointment and when I explained about Charles she set him up with an appointment with me the next Wed. 1 week later he was in hospital having kidney removed,  everything just fell into place boom, boom boom, Dr Blalock is the best kidney surgeon in the South. Again God had his hand in it, because we were so lucky to get him, he usually takes most of the months of Oct, Nov & Dec off to go deer hunting and is extremely hard to get. Charles has been home for 3 days and is having a hard time, hurting..to be expected and sick to his stomach. We go back for check up and have staples removed Fri and also find out about the pathology report. Please keep him in your prayers that it is benign.
We have a new family member and she is spoiled rotten already, she is an 8 mo old Rat Terrier, we got Sassy when she was 5 weeks old and Charles and I both fell in love..lol..

 She is a little beggar when it comes to food.

. I hope to be able to start blogging again and checking on my friends. May God Bless you and your day.

Hello Dear Friends

Good Evening all, I'm so sorry I've been away so long, I want to thank all of my sweet friends who have emailed and written asking about Keifer. As of right now things are progressing slowly with him, he had an infection around a couple of his staples the week he came home and had to go back to the Dr. for antibotics, but he is doing alot better now. He actually got out Friday night and walked with his girl friend around the neighborhood, he gets tired so easy and hurts really bad when he stays up to long.. It doesn't seem like it has been 4 weeks since his wreck.  I know it does to him, and he is slowly remembering more about that night.
We went to see him this past week and Connor went with us. Here are some pictures we took, his cuts and scraps are starting to heal finally. He will be wearing his brace for several more months. His ribs, sternum, back and were he had emergency surgery will take a while to heal.

 Thank you so much for keeping him in your prayers. We know that the prayers from our friends and us is what has kept him going. He has truly been bless, his Boss told him that if it took a year for him to get back on his feet his job will be waiting and Hinds Community College is working with him so he doesn't loss this semester and his money.

Charles is doing alot better, he is actually doing what the Dr tells him to and his sugar and blood pressure are both coming down.

And me I'm just holding on,... as the little saying goes, when you run out of rope tie a knot and hold on...lol..so I'm holding on to a double knot....lol..

Hope to be back chatting with y'all soon.

Love y'all

Molly

Happy Easter to all my Blogging Buddies

Thank you all so much, prayers have been answered and love shared. This is a note Keifer posted on his Face Book today...

Keifer Smith
Through the broken ribs and pain, I'm still breathin'. Blessed with wonderful friends and family. Happy to still be here with you guys. I was given a second chance, and will be living life to the fullest through him.
GOD is GOOD.....

I want to wish each and everyone of you a very Happy Easter,



I didn't realize how truly Blessed we were till I saw these pictures, he was not only spared, but the Lord placed the tree in the right place or the people in the trailer could have been hurt too..

You can see where he hit the tree up high. The bank that he flew off of was even with the mark on the tree. He hit loose gravel and lost it,  The trailer and fence where just ft away from the road.  

 look at the windshield on the drivers side...that is a part of the board fence that stuck through the window.

The only explanation of him surviving this accident and doing well enough to go home so soon, is God has other plans for him. We are very Blessed to have him still with us.

Better view of the bank he came off of....

Another update

Praise God Keifer is getting to come home today. Still has along road ahead and needs someone with him 24/7. But he is doing well enough to finish his recovery at home where he is comfortable.
In home care will come every other day for PT. His Dad has taken a week or 2 off and his Sweet girl friend Hannah who hasn't left his side, will be sleeping on a cot by his bed at night. And of Course you know I'll be there till they run me home...lol.
Thank you so much for your prayers and concern. Please continue to keep him in your prayers he has along hard road ahead.
