Thank you for your prayers

I don't know anything yet, but he should be going before the judge in about an hour. His attorney will be there, but he has been unsuccessful in reaching his probation officer. So we really have no idea how things will turn out. I'm pretty sure if he doesn't get home tonight, he will be in over the weekend. There are two court systems that have to coordinate and one of them only has court on Tues and Thurs. I'm so naive when it comes to the law. I guess this is the arraignment hearing where they set a sentencing date, and he finds out if they will hold him until then or let him out on his own recognizance. The sentencing will probably be the week of Sept. 3. That is where he will find out if he has to serve anymore time. I can't begin to tell you how embarrassing this is to know that my husband has a record. These charges are from 10 years ago when he was a different person. He never finished taking care of them, and he didn't pay them off and quit seeing his probation officer. He stuck his head in the sand and said he figured it would go away or he could take care of it and I'd never know. He now knows otherwise and it appears he is finally seeing the light. He is a recovering alcoholic who has been sober for over 2 years. And I have only known him sober. He lives a clean life and if this had not surfaced, I never would have known him to be the type to not take care of his business. He's facing up to his responsibility now, though, and I'm proud of him. It's humiliating, but necessary. So while he is not out committing crimes (DUII) and hasn't been since getting sober, the effects of him flying under the radar have been compounded and could make the judge angry enough to impose more jail time. I'm scared for him and for me and my family. I just pray he won't be taken away from us for long. Your continued prayers are much appreciated.

Kim, Your hubby is a BLESSED man to have an understanding - forgiving wife standing by to support him! hang in there keep us posted ... you are all in my prayers! hugs Britt

I really hope everything works out for your husband and you and the family. It seems as if he has overcome his problems and has such as wonderful, understanding support system in his life now. Just keep being there for him but don't forget about yourself in the meantime. Make sure you keep up your strength and eat your protein and get your water every day. Sending big hugs your way, Susan
