Day 78

We made it home safely from Alabama and had a wonderful time. Thank you Laura for all you did to make it a weekend to remember. Thank you all for the prayers, I am so happy to report that there was not one fatality from that awful accident we saw Friday. Even the truck driver that had the heart attack survived. To me that was nothing less than a miracle. I have to admit I am exhausted from the weekend but seeing my baby brother so happy was worth every bit of it. This week is going to be a busy one to say the least. I have to try to get my insurance to approve Mayo at the in network level, get Noah's housing and invitations taken care of, and get some much needed rest. Thank you all for standing in the gap for me in prayer as we continue this journey and know that my family and I are praying for everyone who reads this blog for Gods will and for true joy, true peace, and true love in your lives.
Lots of Love
And Laughter,
Betsy

Day 77

I woke up and had to run my IV meds so I thought I would write because I am pretty sure I won't get another chance today. My baby brother is getting married today. I am so glad to be here with my family. I get to see my nanny which is kind of bitter sweet because her dementia is getting worst. She is the one that named me betsybabe. Yesterday I had to keep introducing myself to her. I know it is hard on my kids too. They want to remember the Nanny they knew growing up. We arrived in Cullman just in time to witness every bit of a horrific 7 car pile up. The driver of the 18 wheeler had a heart attack and the people at the red light had no idea what happened. He never put on the brakes and just plowed through and mangled cars, trucks, and SUVs. Please pray for these people. I have no idea who they are but they and their families need all the prayers they can get. Also pray for Elijah he saw the whole thing and said it was going to give him nightmares. Also please pray for Micah and Kathy as they embark on their new marriage. I should try to get some rest and pray I make it through the day with no incidences.
Lots of Love

Day 76

We are on the road to Cullman Alabama to see my baby brother get married. I am so excited and really hope I can stay well enough long enough to enjoy the weekend. Hopefully I won't be paying for it the rest of the week. I think typing and riding are not the best combination for someone who fight nausea all the time so of you don't hear from me this weekend I will tell you all about it when I get home.
Lots of Love
And Laughter,
Betsy

Day 74

I apologize for not writing in a while but I have not been feeling so great. I still don't feel good but this evening I finally had to make myself get up and pack to send our luggage ahead of us because it wouldn't fit in the car with all 6 of us. I am so excited about Micah's wedding this Saturday. We leave early Friday morning. I miss my family, my sister and brother-in-law and my amazing nephews. I really miss my Micah, he will always hold a very special place in my heart because he went from being my live baby doll to one of my best friends. Noah is so very close to Micah too. He lived here for some time and now he is all grown up and getting married. My medicine to get rid of my nausea and pain is making me sleepy again even though I have been sleeping most of the day or just lying around. I haven't heard back from Mayo yet. Next week I have to make Noah's invitations and get them in the mail. I hope it won't be too hard to get all of the addresses I need. His pictures turned out awesome. I am going to go now because not only am I tired but at the moment losing the battle to my pain. I will try to write more often, even if it is just to say hi and I am hanging in there.
Lots of Love
And Laughter,
Betsy
