NEWS FLASH...Lotsa NEWS to share.....

I just have to tell ya'll....we just got word that our daugthter Holly has officially been accepted into the nursing program.  We are all on CLOUD NINE~  This is an answer to prayer for Holly and our family.

Also, Christian is much better today.  I know it's all those prayers that have gone up on his behalf and God has truly worked a miracle on that baby boy who was SO SICK yesterday.  He's still not 100%, but by golly he's doing so well and almost back to his little old self again.  We got to keep him awhile this afternoon and evening and I got to hug and cuddle and love on him for awhile.  He loves his NANA so much.

On another note, my husband Kyle is not feeling well at all and spent much of the day at the doctor's office.  He suffers greatly from acid reflux and they are still trying to find a medicine that will work best for him.  He has also had a horrible migraine for the last couple of days that's just not letting up.  He's got a couple of prescription meds for the migraines and they just are not touching it.  Please say a prayer for my dear husband that this pain will ease through the night and he will be feeling up to par by morning.

I am still hanging in there with my upcoming shoulder surgery only a couple of weeks away.  I am still devastated by the fact that the surgery I had 18 months ago was not at all in any way what it was supposed to be and that I have to go through another surgery to correct another doctor's mistake.  I do not relish the fact that I have to go thru all that pain, suffering and therapy again at any cost.  I'm quite bitter by the taste of it all.  I'm still debating the idea of confronting that doctor with the knowledge of his negligence. 

Thank you all for letting me share my good news and updates.  I appreciate each and every one of you.

God bless,

Elle

That is awesome Loretta.  I am so thrilled for Holly.  I know how you feel.  I was so thrilled when Geni was accepted.  It won't be long and your baby will be taking care of everyone but you LOL.  That's what I tell Geni LOL.  Seriously, I am thrilled for her.  I and John have been praying for Christian and I knew he would be better soon.  I am so thankful that God hears and answers.  I will be praying for Kyle and continue praying for you.  You have a ful evening.  Love ya!!!

Carmen, thank you so much for your kind words and prayers.  We truly feel those prayers being lifted up for us.  We are so proud of our girls for going to college.  Jill is doing well also and is taking cosmotology.  I think that suits her and i'm sure she will do well with it.  I am so thrilled that things are finally starting to fall into place for Holly.  She's had a rough time of it with transferring colleges and all.  Most of the credits she had from Nashville did not transfer here.  It's been really hard on her having had nearly 2 years of college behind her then having to start all over again here. I know things happen for a reason and I know God has a very special plan for her.  He is so faithful.  We just have to let him take control.

Thank you again for everything Carmen.  You are so very kind.

Elle,

For Kyles reflux, you may want to google
Dr. William Richards at Vanderbilt University
and the STRETTA procedure.

I have seen amazing results from this procedure
with my Father.

Good luck.

Carolyn~

GREAT news Loretta!!!  I am so VERY proud for Holly and for Jill! 
I pray you have peace with your decision regarding confronting the M.D. or not. 

Elle, Prior to Rny , I had the reflux surgery..  WHat a blessign that was .   I had it so bad before it would back up in my throat during sleep which can lead to throat cancer.
I had the procedure and ON MY Goodness , how wonderful I was after ..
A NEW PERSON it felt like as I suffered with that a long time
Hugs
Shirley

Thank you all for all the replies and concern, but most of all for the information that you've shared with me about Acid Reflux.  I will be passing along this info to my husband and we will be researching more options.  Thanks again.
