SPENT WEEK IN HOSPITAL. HAD SOME KIND OF INFECTION BUT NEVER DETERMINED WHAT, MUST HAVE BEEN SAME AS DUKE. I DID GET HEART CATH DONE THOUGH. DR. ALLBRIGHT SAID I HAD HEALTHY STRONG ONE. SPEND DAY SLEEPING MOSTLY. IT WAS NICE AND QUIET.

Got $95 today to add to fund, $50 from Zaroga a FB friend, $5 from a school friend's Dad at The Zone and $40 from Gina's customer! Emerald Bapr has not put $$ in account yet. I am waiting for that because that will put me over $3000.

Emerald Baptist did a hot dog supper and raised $450! Also Jean Davis was at Dr Holman's office talking to Mom and sent $50! I have over $3000 now. Had great day with kids, Charli LOVES watching The Mask videos on YouTube, wish Netflix had movie because that would be fun for her to see!

Uncle Bud and Louise came by and brought $185 from their SS class and I got $40 from one on Aunt Bootsie's customers!

Kids keeping cool on this hot day

Had a rather lazy week, exercised M, T and Friday now riding bike 30 minutes because TM was taking heartrate too high. Kept kids Tuesday only so it has been quiet. VERY hot here in SC, though! DTV rec. went out so I had to do 3 days watching big TV and lost my recordings.

Heat is ridiculous, yesterday GSP had the highest ever temp on record at 107! Over 100 storms on record with hail. Debbie posted pictures of her yard. It wasn't too bad here.

Went to 96 with the kids and got there just before fireworks started, no crowds or traffic :) It has been record setting heat!

Been busy with VBS this week. Got letter from Duke & call, I have to do several heart tests and couple other thinks and send results to know if I can relocate. These are the most invasive tests so I really need to have good results. VBS had been really easy this year and the kids are learning.

Poor Les, his Mom was so worried about gets her pills she forgot his Birthday! He wasn't supposed to go over until tomorrow but as usual she was short and he had to go before we went to eat with Gina and the babies, we went to the Chinese place we usually go. Charli made him a card and that made him happy ;)
He hurt his back at Duke and it is very sore.

Got back about about 4 yesterday then went to IHop with kids, Charli loved her green skirt and put it on to go to dinner. They aren't very encouraging at Duke saying right now I can't survive a surgery. Dr Lin asked if I would consider moving up to do the 5 days of therapy so I could build my muscles and get stronger without the promise of a transplant. It is up to how I can build up

Twila gave me $110 after the craft sale today,some was donated by Cody and Jamie but the most was from her sales, Sherrie Stauffer also sent $25 on Paypal so I have topped the $20000 mark my first month! I think that is awesome!

Trey walked in today and gave me $$ and I just put it on table thinking he had paid me for keeping kids but it was $500! he raised it on his own by raffling a gun! I am so proud! I also got a $100 check from Carol Bush today! I am amazed at god's goodness in getting this money! It is so close to $2000 now I know it will be over that in a week!
I sure will miss kids this next week!
I pray Twila will do well, I sure want to get rid of some earrings!
I just got $100 from an FB friend Jodi Schwartz that plays FV with me!!

Had a nice time at Crackerbarrel with Twila and Keith, it was nice to sit and talk, they paid for dinner which was really nice then Keith slipped Les money! I could cry at how wonderful my family has been! That well pushed over the $1000 to $1250! I had FB friends tell me they are sending a check, too.
I went to Office max and got a cheap Photo editing program but should have bought the $40 Print Artist!!! When will I learn?

Les did something to break his toe last night, it is all purple and swollen, that's all he needs to add to his gout with all the walking he will have to do next week! Charli is learning to write Meme Pop, Gina and of course her name :) She is bringing me home notes

Allen and Denise sent us $250! Along with the $500 from Danny & Cathy and the $200 from Grandmama's Sunday School class we are $50 away from our first $1000 or 10% of total needed! God is Good!

Nice quiet day, yesterday we rented We Bought a Zoo and ate from Zaxby's that was nice and movie was good.

Charli was happy to craft today coloring and making paper skirts for Barbie! Time passed fast and we didn't even watch videos.

Weight down to 123 dressed but did TM of 17min. Poor Les had to spend his two days off taking me to doctor, exercise and going to hospital and keeping kids! He took the babies to get an icecream while I worked out ;)
He is having more foot pain and can't get doctor to see him.

Had bone density and TB test done, had tetanus shot in Nov. 2010 so didn't have to do that :D. Kathie was admitted early this morning and will probably be there until Saturday.
Kieth Wideman was cremated today and they just had simple family service in Honea Path
Also it would have been Daddy's birthday so he was on my mind
