Tuesday Tuneup!

We got our "grandchildren fix" tonight! As good as they are, we are ready when mom or dad comes back. We play outside, playing chase, baseball, and swinging them for as long as we can last. Then we all come in, clean up as best we can, and head for Fazoli's. Pizza for the kids with breadsticks....they like dipping the bread in something, so we give them a little spaghetti sauce. They sat very nicely during supper, no tears, and then got to go in the back room to play with the "kids night" games. Tonight they had playdough for the boys and they liked playing with it.

I know it's not easy for Jason and Becky. Please pray for them, their family, their marriage to stay as strong as it is and grow even stronger. Jason drives two hours to come home to help get the kids ready for bed and visit with them a short while. He is working in Northern Ky. and could stay there overnight, but he comes home. Becky had an Open House at WCH tonight so we went to get the boys at Tots and kept them until Jason got home. We love them dearly, and we were happy to see them. We don't see them as often now that school has started.

On a sadder note, dad hasn't been feeling real well lately. Today he went to the doctor and they sent him to have a MRI. This showed his liver wasn't working right. He has been retaining a lot of fluid, so his pills aren't doing their job. The doctor took him off lasiks (spelling?) and to cut back on the amount of fluids he drinks. Now they have called him and said to come in to the hospital tomorrow to "withdraw" this fluid. Mom said they said there was "lots" wrong with him. However, to me he is still dad! He plays Rook several times a week and beats me and mom about half the time! He is sharp, even though he can't hear well. He has a disadvantage with hearing, but his mind makes up for it! No parents should go through what my mom and dad have dealt with in their "golden years". We love them so much. Please pray for dad.
