Life

The roller coaster ride continues with Rebekah and her pain levels.  She had seemed to improve somewhat last week, but since Sunday the levels are back up again.  She sees a specialist today - after waiting five weeks for an appointment. We are all hoping he will provide some solutions.

Please pray for healing and pain relief. Please pray for wisdom for her doctors.

Meanwhile, life goes on around here.  The attempt to keep things normal is failing miserably, but we try.  There is a Christmas parade coming up this weekend that Rebekah's special needs group is participating in. Our goal for the week is that she be well enough to participate.  It would be such a blow to her heart for her to miss it.  

As for the animals, we have suspended all sales until Rebekah is feeling better.  Helen's chicks are beautiful and about to begin laying.  The turkey's remain in our pasture.  We really do need to sell some. Possibly before Christmas.  However, Peanut, Adelaide, and Grumpy will never be sold.

I am attempting to get ready for Christmas, but the going is slow.  I would love to put out another video soon, but it's all about TIME and how well Rebekah feels.

Meanwhile my elderly mother remains in assisted living in another state.  I go down once per week to help her and take care of things.  She refuses to move to a facility closer to me as she has lived her life in the same area and does not want to leave it.  Ideally, she would live with me.  But her care levels are such I would end up in the hospital in short order attempting to take care of her. Which has already happened on more than one occasion.  And so, she is in Assisted Living.  It's an awful situation. It is hard to be old.
