Morning Frank - How you doing? What is the April update? Has she been able to ride her horse? Hugs to you and your family. Blond
Hello Darlene, doing about the same, God is in control. Still doing all the dr things, breathing test/treatment, still not working to good. They want me to think about doing stem cell, told them no I'd have to go across the pond to have it done, plus 1-2 year process, just going to trust God. When He's ready to call me home, I'm ready.
April is doing great, her hair is ffinally long enough to brush. That right there made her more happy than any thing. She goes in for test every 4 weeks, so far, the test have showed everything is fine. She'll have to have the plate changed in a few years, don't know how many. As her head and brain grows, the plate will become to small. I don't see her as much these days, rainy, cold and just plain messy. Spring is here, I'll see her more and more, she still rides to church with the wife and I, spends all day Sunday with us. She helps the wife prepare Sunday dinner, we eat, play some games, she takes a nap, then my wife takes her home.
We haven't been able to ride the horses, because of the weather. It needs to be dryer, so mud don't get in there hooves. In the summer, we can dig it out, then wash it out. If you don't get all the wet mud out, it turns to a fungi, then the fungi, turns to hoof rot. If hoof rot occurs, she have to put the horse down. We've rode them once since Christmas, had two weeks of no rain, plus drying out time. Oh, if you get a horse wet in the winter, they'll get sick and may die, hence the reason for not washing the mud out of their hooves. She feeds all of the horses each day, built up a great bond with them. She also gives them 4 apples and 8 carrots a day, along with about a quart of sweet feed per horse. If you feed them to much sweet feed, they'll overdose on sugar. So she's learning how to care for them, and they love her to no end. We're riding this afternoon, before the storms get here tonight. We'll leave around noon, get back before dark. She loves Mingo more than she loves Chewey, Chewey being the German Shepard that we got for her. Over all, she's a very loving child, loves to read stories about God/Jesus, has a ton of questions, which is a good thing.
Thank you for the prayers and hugs, I pray for you and Tourist on a daily basis. I'm so ready for Jesus to return.
