An Update...

My nephew is still suffering terribly in the hospital. We are now on his 4th surgery. His parents are worried and tired.

We are still on kid duty and they are doing really well, considering they have spent the last 6 days together. (However, they are constantly rejoicing that summer was unexpectedly extended!) My wonderful mother in law just rescued me and ushered them all off for some fun and left me with a dirty house, a caffeine free Dr. Pepper and a bag of peanut M&M's - I think someone may wake me and say it is a dream!

On another note we had an elderly family member die last night, we were sad to hear but also relieved that her suffering has ended. So this weekend we will be dealing with out of town guests and a funeral. Sometimes life is like this and we just plug along and thank the Lord to have so many people in our lives. It would be terrible to be lonely!
