John has to have his own horse!

John, many prayers for your brother, you and Amy and the rest of the family.
We are thinking of you.

nan, I go through that a lot (posting V'isms when everyone else is suffering)....please know that you all are like my family, I didn't come from a large one and I "talk" to you all every day and can share everything with you guys. I never have the right words, so I don't try, I am sorry for that. Please know that I am praying for all and hope all is well with everyone.

V....I think there are many that feel the same way (or at least I do as well)...not knowing the right thing to say. Words are difficult enough to come by but to figure out how to put them so they "sound" write in type is even harder for me. And truthfully, lots of your "V"isms bring a smile to my face and I am sure many others so please don't stop them!

YEAH!! I found out tonight, Samantha's dear boy friend got into her school!! Whoo hooo!! Now with 7 classes, who knows if they will get into the same class!

I wanted to post a picture before I go to bed. I have no idea which cruise this was, but I think it is cute!

 

[CSNYDER]

what I can't figure out - does it come with everything I need? do I need to buy anything else?

Just tapes! The one I bought came with a charger, one battery, one tape, a small case and an additional lens that widens the view. I bought additional tapes and have an additional battery (there were times I was going to be away from power, but I've never actually needed it).

My brother pulled through the surgery. We just got home.

It was a long surgery, but where there is life, there is hope. What the doctor found was that a large section of his small intestine was not getting blood flow, and had died. It has been destroyed by infection and loss of blood flow, and had become gangrenous. It was a good thing that they operated when they did.

They cleaned him up inside, and had to bring a portion of the bowel out for a colostomy.

He is by no means out of the woods, is still in ICU, and has many hurdles ahead of him. Both Amy and I believe he looks better now than before he went in.

Thank you to everyone for your kind thoughts, and especially for your prayers. It has been a long and stressful day, and I told Sophia tonight how lucky I am to have her, her brother, and Amy. Her uncle only has us as family. I will say this though, the outpouring of help and concern from his students and colleagues has been nothing short of overwhelming, and a pair of his students came up with us tonight. I told them how much I appreciated them, and that he would need them when he is awake as he has not only a huge physical hurdle, but also an enormous mental hurdle to get over.

He will need all their love and support to know how much he is cared about.

How horrible! But I'm glad Manuel made it through the surgery and looks better.

V & Lisa...thanks for the pics tonight!
That Tribe pic surely brought a smile to John's face...how could Haley in a tribe hat not?! Good news on Samantha's friend.

Lisa...those dresses are so adorable (and your family looks wonderful in the pic) !

I totally forgot that the entire world is not on my time zone......​

yup I agree. Sometimes I feel sad about posting our nonsense stuff when others are in grief or worry. I know no one takes it as an attack, but the older I become the more I feel for those around me that have hard stuff going on.

I'm back from dinner delivery (obviously) and Mary Kate(his wife) and Molly and I had a nice walk around their back yard enjoying the Iris garden Browning cared for. I cried all the way home. I was finding it hard to express to Molly what this man meant to me and why I was upset. I can't place him to her with someone in her life. Different tahn family, but oh so close.

Off soon to scouts, should be interesting there were emails illuding to great changes coming our way....

I can't speak for others, but during my tough times this year (and there have been a few big ones) the distraction of reading the just daily stuff was a blessing to me. That daily chatter let me know also that there is still some normalcy out there and would return for me.

My girls always name the animals and try and make them last all week...they get mad when one of them falls apart....

What a blessing that they caught that. I'm glad he looks better...you are all in my continued prayers

John1, thank you for taking the time to update us on his condition. We continue to hold you in our hearts and prayers.
