Sending prayers out for those who need.
Hoping everyone has a safe and fun 4th here in the states.
Keep our firemen in prayer. In just the last few minutes the alarms went off about 10 times - all firework related fires in a 4 city area - mostly volunteer firefighters. One has spread over about 10 acers and threating buildings.
Hugs to all

Thinking of the firemen (and women) and those left behind

An update from Toni
Daniel is doing great. We had another care conference yesterday and they said that he is continuing to improve daily. He is still on target to get released from here on July 27. The lady also said that our insurance covers him going to cognitive rehab, but the only possible glitch is the one they primarily use, Pate Rehabilitation, usually only allows 14+, and he is 13. But they have not said no. So we will have to just wait and see. It will be a day patient. He would go for 5-6 hours a day, 5 days a week. Basically, just like school. They help them with the cognitive and get back into the "real" world. Making them as independent as possible. Hopefully, he will be able to get in and keep up or surpass where he was before and after this is all over he won't have anymore problems. Keep us in your thoughts and prayers. Tell everyone I said hi! Hope all is well with everyone! Hugs, Toni
There you go folks.... things are improving but we need to get him in that rehab!

Dennis
Hi Folks...
I have a major prayer request. My adult kids are in the path of this major hurricane in Mobile. I have been trying to get them to leave and they may go tomorrow morning but my son wants to ride it out. Where he is staying is only 10 ft above sea level and they said storm surge could be a story tall. He is just few blocks from the beach.
I am praying he will wise up and leave with the rest of family tomorrow. But not sure if he will. This area has been hit so hard and they expect it to be a cat 4 when it hits. From Biloxi MS to Destin FL, these people are in it's path. This could really wipe a lot of people out. So please keep my kids and all the people in this area in your thoughts and prayers..
Thanks

Update
The girls left early Sunday morning for LA but my son stayed on MS coast. Lucky for him (but not the people in FL) the storm took a northern trek for an hour or so, before going back to a NW direction. It was supposed to go right up Mobile Bay, but that jog to the north put it more between Pensacola and Destin.
My kids are ok, but I am sure there is going to be some damage. However it really weakned as it was coming ashore and went from a 4 to a 3 to a 2. So, damage is not goingt o be as bad as it could have been. Now the next thing is the damage from the storms it will produce as it is moving on line and up the states.
Thanks again for the thoughts and the prayers.

Well mom got to come home today but she still has a ways to recover.....I just hope and pray that she does as the doctors order or she will be back in there....they sent her home on commadone so that means she has to be careful not to cut herself or she could bleed to death....there is just so many things that has to be watched.....As for my brother, well his legs look horrible.....he keep them propped up today and rested....my poor father has two of them that he has to take care of 
I made dinner and cleaned up the house some for them today......It is just a slow process but hopefully on a upward swing.

Mary,
I am keeping your family in my thoughts. Emes thanks for keeping the thread going. Seems like we three are the only ones posting lately.
I am on my way down south to look into putting my mom in a retirement center. Not a home, but a place where she can be around people. She lives alone in a house she can no longer take care of and she needs to be out of there. This is not going to be an easy sell, but I hope after meeting with the people and checking it out, she will come look at it and agree to the move. She just can not do this any more.
Keep you all posted...
