We had a great time visiting the folks and family. It's so great to be close in distance to everyone. We are blessed that the girls get along so well with the nieces and nephews. They have a blast together.
Thank you all so much for your prayers and thoughts for my brother. You all continue to amaze me with your unfailing support, even though we don't know each other personally. Things don't look well. I won't go into details right now, as I don't want to wear out my welcome. He's got an appointment with the urologist and infectious disease doctor on February 13, and, if all goes to plan, they'll make their decision then. He's holding his own, but it's a difficult road to travel. He's in so much pain. He has his good moments and has learned that when he needs to rest, he needs to do it right then.
Its times like these I feel so helpless. I'm not at all sure there would be alot I could do to help him if I was closer, but I still wish I were there. I guess that's a normal feeling, when one you love is ill. Please keep the thoughts and prayers coming and I'll let you know what happens after the doctor's appointments.
As you can see, construction did not getcompleted while I was away. Most likely there were problems with the final inspections and the permits. I'm hoping that soon, I'll be able to show you what my remodelled home looks like. Watch this space for further developments. And thanks so much for checking in.
We'll be getting the results for Meelie's testing on February 2nd. It's all complete now so it's very much a game of hurry up and wait. The teacher doesn't even know the results yet, and I would imagine that even if she did, she wouldn't let me know ahead of time.
Before signing off, I wanted to share some advice that I received from my youngest.
"Whatever you do, don't suck a marble through your nose. Because if you do, it will go up your nose and bounce around in your brain and give you a headache."
You just can't make this stuff up. I think I'll follow it, don't you?

That advice came just in time. I had the marble in my hand and it was a "clod roller". We'll keep your brother in our prayers.
