Life....the past two weeks


Mom Rushed to the hospital.
House sold.
Moving within the month.
Buying a dental practice.
Parker sick:(
So exhausted we all feel like we could fall sleep in the bath tub....
(deep breath)

To be honest, the past two weeks have been some of the hardest in my life. My parents came for a short visit to help with selling our house. While here we had to rush my mom to the hospital where she was given less than a 2% chance of survival and diagnosed with streptichauchal pneumonia that spread to her blood and started to shut down her organs.. She has beaten all odds and is still here and has made, what the doctor's call..."a miraculous recovery." I have never been so scared. I cannot describe the outpouring of love and support we have had. Dinners, flowers, and cards have been sent and I cannot thank everyone enough. It was been so hard to see my Mom go through this. If you know my Mom though, you know that if anyone could survive this, it would be her. I am so thankful to have my Mom back and a second chance at life for her. She has a long road to recovery, so please keep praying for her....

Within those two weeks, we have sold our house and have to be out within the month, find a place in Canby to live (where we are moving), Parker got sick, dog is sick, buying a dental practice, and figuring out the details of how we are going to move everything....

Again, thank you to all my friends and family for their love and support.

Parker's pic says it all...we are wiped out....

Oh praise the Lord! I've been praying up a storm for your mom and your family. All if this is such amazing and great news, except for Miss Parker being sick.

If you need any help down here in Portland let me know.
