Well Thursday was one of those days that was filled with lots going on and little Ryder was admitted to the hospital along with brother Huckston for the same symptoms; he was just not as bad as Huck as we caught it in time before he became so dehydrated. Both are responding to the antibiotics and the IV's and are now in the same room together with Bobby and Katie spending the day and night with them. The hospital staff made this happen and were over the top with their care and concern.
I started the day much the usual with a 6'ish roll out to my usual routines but the outside temps were down right chilly with this front that came through yesterday and lingered all day. The temps didn't get out of the 60's with the stiff north breeze. I did my quiet time giving thanks for the many blessings and them lifting up several by name for comfort and healing and actually from what I learned it was a miracle little Huckston survived this ordeal. One nurse told Bobby she didn't think when she first saw him that he would live but that has all changed with the meds but most importantly we had several prayer chains going for him and later for Ryder. Thus far we give THANKS to GOD and for the staff that took them under their care. It was truly miraculous.
I headed out around 8'ish for the Ford place to have my truck serviced and met up with the sales gal who has become a genuine friend over the past several years. She is a very sincere knowledgable person who is a divorcee with a teen age son who has given her nothing but pain and grief over the past several years. She finally gave him back to his father who was never in the equation which has helped to make her life netter. We keep up with her on FB and she with us as well. I took her a sack of collards and cucumbers. She is from Hawaii but now many of her kinfolk live in the local area. Whenever we have an issue with the truck or in the mood for a new one she is really to help.
Mountain neighbor Gerald sent me a picture(s) of our place and we saw where Jake and Katelyn had sawed down all of the huge trees surrounding the cabin and those in the backwoods yards. This is a plus for me as maybe I can get grass instead of moss to grow. These trees many of which looked hollow and rotten in the core was just a good strong storm from blowing down on the shed, well house or even the cabin. I did have him leave one Maple tree near the red shed. He will use the wood to heat his house. I'll have him help me this summer with a stump grinder. I now should have plenty of sunlight on my gardens as well as the yards. I'm thrilled thus far as I am surrounded by heavily wooded land.
We also got word our September cruise to Alaska with the Princess Line has been cancelled due to this virus, yikes. I had Nancy all ready to go so those plans will change a lot for this summer and fall, oh well. She has already purchased a heavy coat for the cruise but we now can travel where ever since we got pass ports. It's amazing how quickly changes occur in your schedules. I'm thrilled Potus Trump is letting the nation go back to work with certain limitations which the dem's are unhappy with as they want this economy to fail and then blame hims so they can get re-elected. I do believe most Americans see their devious scheme to destroy the nation to destroy him. They sure have enough help with the bias MSM being their front in this scheme. We can only hope and pray that GOD will intervene again to keep these corrupt and crooked despicable dem's from achieving their goal of taking the White House.
We are back to Brandon this morning to clean up after yesterday events with Ryder showing the same symptoms Huck had before going to the ER. We will wash bed sheets, clothes and whatever may have been contaminated by this infection as well as bring Annsley and Gabe back with us to spend the weekend with the Ross Family. It's Bobby's weekend with the kiddo's and they want to play with the Ross cousins. Well that's about it for Thursday and all the happenings with the "boys". We are so thankful for all who lifted these little fellers up for healing as they both are on the mend. We still haven't been able to determine what caused this bacteria but needless to say more precautions will be forthwith, LATER
