We’ve been busy, hence the lack of posts. This is always a busy time of the year for us. Once home from our heativersary trips, it’s officially the holiday season and all that comes with that. For us, this means a lot of ministry work, too. Our last trip was a ministry trip to various…

That title is just as scary to write as it is to read; no, I’m sure it is much more frightening for me to write than for you to read. We don’t know specifically if we are in a full-blown rejection or what level it is. Sadly, we won’t even have the answer to that…

I’m learning new things with our hotel this trip. The medical rate was a great find, and we took the shuttle to Amanda’s radiology appointments this morning. It’s a few miles away, and I just didn’t want to drive and deal with the hotel valet or parking at the other location. I’d never seen the…

Having a hospital trip mixed with a vacation isn’t that bad for us. Sadly, hospital trips were our vacations for over a decade! Since Amanda first got sick all those years ago, we only went on two trips for pleasure. One cruise, just after her first pacemaker, which I had to call to get approval…

Amanda has been doing better since the medication change made on our last Houston trip. She sleeps better and feels her heart is much more under control during the day.

The hotel we are staying at now in the medical is excellent, with easy access to the hospital. We just go over to a sky bridge that connects directly to the hospital. It makes for an easy stay without driving or even going outside. The only drawback is that it’s expensive. We stayed on a…

Amanda seems to have gotten worse, well, a worse symptom. Sunday night, as I was driving home, she called me. Her voice told me something was wrong; she asked if I was close to home. She’d fainted in the closet, not hitting her head but twisting the new knee around a bit. This was one…

Ok, I know I’m terrible at posting once we get home! Sorry, but life gets in the way, and I get very unmotivated to write once I get home! Our trip back from Colorado was uneventful and filled with coffee, french fries, more coffee, some tea, and a long drive! The night before we left,…

As if all that I laid out in the last post wasn’t enough, as the OxiClean guy would say, but wait there’s more! I had a cousin pass, and I went back to Louisiana for the funeral. Amanda had to stay behind because there was a women’s conference at the church she was leading worship…
