UPDATE ON ZACKERY

As you might imagine Leanna is a bit too busy so she can't update her blog. I am giving you the update that I have right now.

First of all, thanks everyone for your prayers. They are much appreciated. At the hospital they discovered that Zackery has an ear infection so he is on antibiotics. His fever went up to 100.1 and they immediately gave him Tylenol to keep the fever from starting another seizure. He has NOT had any more seizures or stopped breathing again. Praise God for that! God hears our prayers.

My sister is really tired of being in the hospital so I hope they can go home soon. This morning she said it would be tomorrow afternoon so we will just have to wait and see.

Donny had a visit with the company Dr. and was told he can come back to work on Monday.

Continue to keep them in your prayers as I know they are all very tired. The hospital is 45 minutes away so it is hard on the other children too.

Thanks again for all your prayers,

Kim (Leanna's sister)

URGENT: Pray for Zackery!

Pray for Zackery! Leanna, called me this morning to tell me that he was rushed to the hospital when he stopped breathing and had 2 seizures. 11/30/2007

Out Of The Hospital

After almost a week in the hospital (over diverticulitis)and more dr. visits to come I am thankful to report my husband is home! It sure seemed like he was there a lot longer than 6 days. We are so grateful that he is getting better all the time.

As you can imagine, being out of work has created a financial strain. However, God has seen to it to provide for our family. We have been humbled and amazed by the blessings that have over taken our family. We have had people we have never met showing up with food, paying electric bill, water bill, insurance, and medication. Through it all we have even found a church. Although many bills have been paid we would appreciate your prayers for the rest. Pray with us that God continues to meet our needs.


Two songs that have meant so much to us are "There Is A God" and "The Best Man" by 33 Miles. I am adding those songs to my playlist to share with you. I hope you will listen to them. God has used them to help us to get through each day.

The words to one of them is below:

There Is A God

There’s a beauty to the dawn, a rhythm to the rain
A silence in the soul that I just can’t explain
There’s a breath of life I breathe, a beating in my heart
A magnificence, a scary sense of what lies past the stars
Beyond what we can see behind the mystery
I know that it could only be

(Chorus)
There is a God; this is the proof
That all around the evidence is speaking the truth
From the center of my soul to the edge of the universe
Creation is crying out believe it or not
There is a God

There’s a debt that has been paid, a grace that I’ve been shown
A hope that I’ve been given that I have never known
There’s a love that conquers darkness a piece of life in me
There’s a life that’s not just here and now but for eternity
Beyond what we can see behind the mystery
I know that it could only be that

(Chorus)

I believe it; I believe it
There is a God
I can feel it; I can feel it
There is a God
And the more I find the less I need to see
I’ve never been so sure, so sure of anything

(Chorus)

HAPPY BIRTHDAY DON!!!

Today is a special day.

Today is Don's birthday.

Happy Birthday Don!

You are loved by many!

Here is a birthday cupcake for you!

Update on Don

For those of you whom I have not talked to I wanted to let you know what doctors have told us so far concerning Don's health.
He has undergone a specialist, x-rays and a multitude of body testing. They found that a vertebrae in the back of his neck is pushed out and not placed where it should be. There is also a bone spur on his vertebrae. Also found was a cyst in his shoulder. He will be at a spine specialist today who will also be taking an MRI of his spine. They have determined he has a form of arthritis just not sure of the extent. It is also still believed he has Fibromyalgia. As soon as we find more out I will be sure to let all of you know. Last night after getting home from work he was in much pain. Although they have him on medication for pain it seems to only help to a min. Thank you to all of you who have kept my dear husband in your prayers!! Please keep on praying. Thank you!

Thankful for much!

I decided to take up my sister's idea on her blog of listing what I am thankful for. Because there is so much I think I will list just a little at a time.

First and foremost is my heavenly father. There are not enough words for me to express all that is in my heart. I know that everyday is a walk with him that makes me stronger and closer to him.

Second is my husband ~ Today being his birthday has even more of a special meaning to express all my love and thankfulness for him. He works SO hard for his family everyday& know matter how bad he may feel he keeps on going. He treats me like a princess always trying to spoil me with his GREAT food, cleaning, and so on. He has to be the best household chef I ever met ;) He can send me into laughter in no time at all. He is a great father and hasn't any problem turning into a child with his children (Giggle.) He supports me in all I do. Thank you sweetheart for being the best husband I could ever have. I am so honored to be your wife! Thank you for your love!!
