Happy Fourth of July

Myles is doing great! He is down to a regular Tylenol for pain, yippee. He is moving his right shoulder pretty well (port side) and I think that by today he might be back to normal, just no lifting. He is receiving two doses of factor a day through an IV that they left in his arm for four more days. We can't use his new port for around a week and a half. It looks really good, his last port was on his chest muscle and really stuck out under the skin. This time they put it in the pocket where the shoulder meets the clavicle. We are all so HAPPY that he doesn't have to be stuck ten or eleven times just to secure a vein, double yippee!! Good decision.
We are going to just hang out at home for the day as he still isn't into being around fireworks and I want to stay home to make sure my house doesn't burn down. Having hundreds of acres of fields around us makes me a little nervous.
Happy fourth to all and stay safe.

Honest Evaluation
Monday, July 07, 2008
“Guide me in your truth and teach me, my God, my Savior.”
Psalm 25:5

Raise your hand if any of the following describe you.

You are at peace with everyone. Every relationship as sweet as fudge. Even your old flames speak highly of you. Love all and are loved by all. Is that you?

You have no fears. Call you the Teflon toughie. Wall Street plummets—no problem. Heart condition discovered—yawn. Does this describe you?

You need no forgiveness. Never made a mistake. As square as a game of checkers. As clean as grandma’s kitchen. Is that you? No?

Let’s evaluate this. A few of your relationships are shaky. You have fears and faults. Hmmm. Do you really want to hang on to your chest of self-reliance? Sounds to me as if you could use a shepherd.


We ALL need a shepherd. Much love and continued prayers for ALL!! ~Aunt k8
