Well, it's been quite a week and I didn't realize I had missed 3 days (including today). So, I must backtrack.
Day 35 - Not a day to have much to be thankful for, but I did think of something. I went over to Jodi and Steve's to take care of Bethany and Erin. Steve was taking Jodi back to the hospital by ambulance because she was in so much pain and couldn't move. The girls were playing with toys when I got there. The ambulace attendants came and I moved in to where they were to get out of the way. I don't know how I did it, but Lucas' Diego jeep was on the floor and I stepped on it. It acted like a skate and I went flying. I landed hard on the left side of my leg and knee. I knew I couldn't get up. One of the ambulance guys came to see if I was ok and tried to help me up, but my knees aren't strong enough. So the other guy came and they lifted me up and put me on a kitchen chair. From there I could stand and put my weight on the leg and it was sore, but I could walk. Jodi, however, couldn't and was taken to the hospital. Later, I was to go pick up Jen and Lucas at school with Steve's van. The girls and I left with bags for their sleeping over and just as I shut the door, I realized the keys were still on the counter. We went next door and unfortunately woke the young woman up to use her phone. (only reason a cell phone would have been useful!) I called Craig and asked if he'd come pick us up, drop us off at my place, pick up Jen and Lucas and drop Lucas back at the apt. What a nutty day!! What am I thankful for? That I fell while the ambulance guys were still there! I don't know what I would have done if it had just been me and the girls!!! While we were out in the cold waiting for Craig to come, we sang and one of the songs was the one at the beginning of the post! Kept us from feeling the cold!!
Day 36 - My thankfulness this day was that "something" showed up on the CT they did of Jodi's abdomen and it got her into the operating room rather quickly with a very good doctor who was very thorough! Once they got in they couldn't figure out what was causing the pus and infection she had inside her. Jodi figures it was because Kory and Natalie Hunter saw her right before she went in and prayed for her and God healed it! Anything is possible with God. I am thankful she is getting the medicine she needs and is getting better.
"Praise God from Whom all blessings flow. Praise Him all creatures here below. Praise Him above ye heavenly hosts. Praise Father, Son and Holy Ghost. Amen." (The girls know this and we sang it, too)
