So I've been debating on whether or not to post...

mainly because I think that it's possible that people will start to think I'm just making this stuff up! So mom is continuing to improve, but she is feeling a lot more pain now, which dad says makes her irritable and grouchy. Also, last night they were struck with a tornado that hit a half mile from their house. Dad woke up with 2 inches of water in their garage that they had to clean out and their poor neighbors had 3 inches of water in their basement. They are also supposed to get another 1-6 inches of rain in the next 24 hrs. My poor grandmother (mom's mom) tore her rotary (sp?) cuff in her shoulder, so she is basically going to need major shoulder surgery. Josh's cousin Dara was only a week behind me in her pregnancy had her baby nine weeks early two days ago. The baby wasn't growing properly due to low amniotic fluid so the baby is only a little over three pounds in weight. :-( So I'm really hoping that our string of family bad luck is going to come to an end soon. I'd like to say "Well it can't get any worse." But I know the second I say that, it will indeed get worse! So that's my update for now. I think I'm too drained to post anything else. I really hope everyone else's lives are going much better than ours are at this point.

You'd better keep posting! I know you're not making this stuff up, silly girl.
Give your mom and dad hugs from me. Well... at least via the phone!

I hope things start looking up. And if it makes you feel better, our life is not perfect. We all have challanges. It makes us stronger. That is why we are here on earth!

I am so sorry to hear all the bad news. Be strong for everyone. I am sorry to hear about the rain and the flooding. I saw quite a bit of it when I was in MO visiting my Grandma. Stay happy!!! And yes keep posting.
