So Much Has Gone On

So much has gone on since my last post. Donny is now 6-weeks old and growing like crazy. Susan is becoming a pro at being a grandma. I have been in and out of sicknesses and migraines and so much busy work that I hardly have time to do anything else.
At my last doctor's visit this week, they are now referring me to a neurologist to try to get at the root of my migraine problem. The doctor says that I am on way too much preventative medicine and have my estrogen level so low to try to keep migraines away, that there is no way I should still be having one to two migraines a week and the occasional two to three day migraines. So I'm game for anything that might give me some relief from these migraines and maybe I can learn something that will help Susan, too.
On a sad note, Harris, my uncle passed away a couple of weeks ago. I always looked up to him as a hard-working man who would do anything to help out anyone who needed something. As a kid, I remember him always wanting to play all the games (like kickball, softball, etc.) with us while the other adults were having all their adult conversations. Then there were the numerous cookouts. Lots of good times with his family and my family. My prayer is for Sheldon, Sarah, and their families to be lifted up by God and given strength as they go on with both parents passed on.
On the most recent sad note, Jack, Jim's dad, passed away Thursday morning at the Hospice. After suffering a minor heart attack the week before on Thursday, then another over the weekend, they sent him to Charlotte for a heart catherization. It was at Charlotte that he had a massive heart attack and his body started shutting down. That was when it was decided to move him to Hospice. Jack was a strong man. Eight years ago he should have died. How he made it through the abdominal aneursym when he, for all pratical purposes died on the table, is still a miracle to us all! Apparently it wasn't his time, but this time it was. He and my dad are probably have a fun time together in heaven right now. I pray that the Morgan family will be at peace with this new situation that they have been thrust into and will receive God's strength to help them overcome their sorrow.
Easter is almost here and the most important thing to remember as we approach that day is Christ died for us, so that we can all have eternal life. Let's not take this lightly or let others pass up this wonderful opportunity. It's a matter of (eternal) life and death.
He Lives. . . . . . . . . . .
