Play Ball!

Opening Day to HERE! Augustine is all ready for the Cards Opening Day at Busch Stadium. It's got his baseball outfit on and ball cap ready to go. This boy likes to wear his hat backwards. I don't know where he learn that. Oma & Papa are headed to the game this afternoon with friends. While the rest of us have to be in school.

GO CARDS!

Update

Augustine had his surgery on Monday morning. He was so awesome! The ENT said following the surgery that his adenoids were inflamed and had puss on them. I was so relieved that they were removed with that report. Monday and most of the day Tuesday were good for Augustine. Then Tuesday afternoon he started to get warm. Tuesday overnight through Thursday were terrible. He ran a low grade temp until Thursday night at 9pm. My moment close was when we went in to give him a nightly blessing of Holy Water and he was a little warm. Then not 2 minutes later he woke up. He had broke his fever. I tried to rock him to sleep. But he was ready to play. We decided that he was well enough to go right to bed like normal. And that's what we did. He went right to sleep. :) Then woke up at 1am and for the day at 6:30am. I'm happy to report that my little guy is doing much better today.

Theresa is not doing as well. She has been put on hospice this week. Her sister, brother, and mother were able to come up this week. Please pray for their entire family and comfort for T.

Remember Me?

I know that's funny. I thought 2011 I would blog more. Well I was wrong. Sorry about that. It's Lent and Spring is HERE! Thank you for the wonderful weather outside. We have enjoyed it.

Tonight I have two very important prayers for my Lent Prayer Buddy. 1 - Augustine is having his adenoids removed tomorrow at 7:40am. It's his first big surgery. It is because of all the sinus inflections he has had since August. The ENT believes that the adenoids have bacteria on them that we can't kill with antibiotics and they need to come out. Risk are low and there is a 50-60% chance this will help. We need our little happy baby boy.

2. Our friend Theresa. She has cancer and has been going through treatment since July. Right after Christmas she had a stroke. Last night she had another one and was sent back to the hospital. We didn't get good news about her progress. Please pray for T's family to travel safely to Omaha and for her mom to take the news as best as possible. Most of her family is in the South. Her mom has been sick too and hasn't been able to come to visit her.

Thank you, Lent Prayer Buddy for your prayers. We have been feeling the grace of God through the difficult times and the know that things will be taken care of the way they are to be. We will continue to pray for your intentions as well.
