October

     There are few words for the last few weeks. As most of you know Hilary's mother passed away on October 7th. It has been a long past month that ended very shortly. Life has really slowed down in the past week. We are trying to get all of our ducks in a row and get ready for the baby. I know alot of you have been asking about Hilary. She is doing about how she looks, the days are slowly going by and she is taking it day by day. There are some days that are better than others. She did go to the doctor last week and they gave her the all clear and told her that her blood pressure is slightly high but nothing we cant deal with. I know we've said it alot but we cannot thank all of you enough for all of the flowers, food, well wishes, and prayers. You all mean so much to us and we are so very fortunate to have all of you.

Tough Times

  

    Since the last blog entry, the last 30 or so days have been very tough and trying times. For those of you who don't know my mother-in-law, Gloria, has had a rough patch that has no end in sight. A little more than 3 weeks ago she was diagnosed with endometrial cancer. Since being diagnosed she has had a couple of stints in Douglas General Hospital and is fighting a number of things. The cancer has spread to a few other places and shes developed a urinary tract infection. It appears she will be at Douglas General until Monday - Tuesday of the coming week. So please keep her in your prayers we can sure use all we can get.  We believe that with enough prayer and good med's we can have her back in no time.

     As for Hilary and baby Outen there isn't much change. There still isn't paint on the wall in the nursery. The baby bed is still in the box and a baby shower is set to kick off on November 6th in Douglasville. On a lighter note everyone with the exception of myself has seen baby boy Outen kick in Hilary's stomach. Even strangers here in the hospital have seen it. I keep telling her that she is making all of this up so i will have to help around the house more. I guess we will call her bluff around December.

     To pile on the already overload that is going on please also keep our friends Paige and Blakely in mind. They recently were on their way home from Florida on vacation and were caught in a rain storm, spun off the road hitting 2 trees with the side of the car and then stopping by hitting one head on. They both are OK and didn't have any really major injury's in the wreck but did in all of the confusion lose their dog Layla. The door came open and she took off across the highway into the woods and hasn't been seen since. They have been looking for her non-stop as much as they can putting up flyer's, making phone calls, and sending out emails so if you can all keep them in your thoughts I'm sure they would appreciate it, because Layla is their daughter.

     With all of this going on in our lives we are taking it day by day and trusting that God will not put anything in our paths that he he knows we cannot handle. Thank you all for the well wishes, prayers and help. We have a long road ahead that with family, friends, and even some strangers I believe we will all make it together. Thanks everyone.

P.S. dont tell Gloria I added the photo of her because she would kill me ! for those of you that know her  she's never been one to take photos.
