Update

Linda was able to come home yesterday after 12 days in the hospital!! She is doing well but still is very weak. She has a nurse coming by to check on her for the next couple of weeks. She says everyday is a little better than the last. I hope she feels like herself again soon!! We are still praying for you and love you very much!!

As of yesterday Brad's mom was moved from ICU to a regular room!! She gets a little better every day, but it will be a long process before she is well. She actually was able to call me yesterday and it was sooo wonderful to here her voice!! She started physical therapy and said that it was hard. From the infection she became very swollen and numb and that is why she is doing physical therapy. She could only stand for about a minute with help from two nurses. We love our Nonnie soo much and can't wait until she is at home and feeling like herself again!! Get better soon!! We are all praying for you!!!!!

~Maddie's 1st Halloween~

I am such a bad blogger, but I am chasing around my baby girl that is all over the place now and I just don't seem to have the time! These are pics from Halloween and although Maddie is not even a year old yet, we had a great time! MiMi, Brad, Maddie & me met Allison, Jeremy & Dylan at the fall festival at Crossroads! Staci & Joe brought their kids too! We got Maddie dressed up in her costume Allison had made! Maddie & Dylan looked so cute in their 50's costumes! Maddie's 1st Halloween was another special memory we will always rememeber!

Update

Just letting everyone know that the doctors found out what is wrong with my mother-in-law. She has meningococcal sepsis,which affects a person the same way that has meningitis. She is still in ICU and will be for 2-3 more days. The doctors say that this is a severe case and that she is lucky to be alive. They also said that she is improving and will be ok. She has alot of recovering to do but at least the worst is over!! Thanks to everyone for your prayers. We love you Nonnie!!!
