Good morning!  I only have time
for a quick "Isaac" update this morning – was too tired last night!

He has had 2 good days, is eating and
sleeping well.  However yesterday evening, he started with the smaller,
shorter seizures that come in clusters.  He had them off and on
throughout the evening. 

We are praising the Lord that he slept well last night (at
least until about 5 a.m.) and the seizures did not develop into
something bigger.

We're
headed to Miami on Sunday for our neurologist appointment on Monday. 
Would appreciate the prayers for safety in that city!  And for a
productive visit.

Ya'll
have a happy FRIDAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Isaac update:  We upped his seizure meds today, and
so he wanted to sleep the day away.  Of course, we couldn’t let him do
that.  No seizures since Sunday morning, praise the Lord!  He’s eating
well, except that he missed a meal today due to his sleeping.  Silly
boy! 

My precious hubby has been fasting some
meals this week, praying for Isaac, his medical issues and some
equipment needs that we have.  I am so grateful for his Godly leadership
in our home.  I really didn’t appreciate it as I should until I read
“Created to be His Helpmeet” by Debi Pearl.  (excellent book!) 

Now I see what a true Warrior He is for
our family as he leads us in God’s way.  He had to miss a side job last
week, due to Isaac’s stay in the hospital, but yesterday we received a
card from a friend with the exact amount of money that he would have
earned on that job!  It takes a REAL MAN to trust God to do that.  (And a
real FRIEND to be sensitive to God to help meet that need!)

Oh, I was able to re-pot some of my
plants on Sunday afternoon.  Nothing special, just a few green things
I’ve managed to keep alive for a little while.  And DH is going to
attempt to grow a yellow bell pepper.  We’ll see… 
Here’s my little babies all green and freshly potted.

Then here’s some shots from our yard.

I have no idea what this is, but I know it must be a weed.

I agree with
“purpleamethyst76” when it comes to tree bark!

 

And finally a view
from underneath!  Pretty sky, huh?

Well, I guess that’s all for today.  “See”
you tomorrow!

Isaac's had 2 grand mal seizures this morning.  We're
trying to avoid giving him the heavy-duty meds, if at all possible,
because we "lose" him for over 48 hours if we administer them.  It's a
fine line to tread.  We constantly pray for wisdom with that.

Anybody know what the picture is on the right? 

I'd love to hear your guesses. 

I'll
post the answer tomorrow with some other similar pics.

Here
it is in case the one on the right is not clear to you.
