Tuesday

Tonight's photo is a continuation of Elijah's 16th birthday celebration. Last night, not long after I published the blog, I got a text message from Elijah wanting to know if I was atill up and okay with having a visitor stop by. I told him, "Sure!" And, a little later he was at my door with a big grin and his license in hand! I had thought earlier that this was the first time that one of them got their license that I hadn't seen them on the day they got it...and there he was! He is a happy camper. He was able to driive himself to baseball tryouts yesterday...no more needing a parent or a sibline to take him and pick him up. About the baseball tryouts...he didn't have to try out, because he has already maade the team, but team members were supposed to be there for the tryouts. Anyway, he was happy for more independence! I reminded him to use this new privelege wisely! I guess that tonight's blog mainly has information about grandchildren as I haven't done a lot today...but have accomplshed more stitching...zooming right along on the ornament I started yesterday with a finish in sight...probably not tonight, but maybe tomorrow. Now more information about another grandchild, Joy...After her coliding heads with another youth while inner tubing on July 3, Joy is still dazed. She saw her doctor today and the doctor feels like Joy needs to see a neurology/concussion specialist at Vanderbilt in Nashville. Kathy spent a good part of her afternoon, after getting home from the doctor, working on getting an appointment. She was successful and has one in two weeks...which we all wish was sooner. But, really, knowing how long it often takes to see someone at Vanderbilt, Nashville, a two-week-away appointment is pretty good! They have her on a list to go sooner if a cancelation occurs. From what I am reading from texts from Kathy and Nathan, it doesn't sound like she has done much improving. She is still v e r y s l o w moving in everything she does...from walking to her respnses. We all want her to wake up and be all better, but this is a case of us having to be patient and let God's timing for the healing process take place. Everything that I have read says that it takes time and she just needs to take it easy...do nothing that is physically or mentally straining. To be continued! Be safe! Be well! Be cautious!
