Oh my goodness how I have missed all of you!!
It has been so busy around my way. I started my new job on Monday, been going back and forth to the hospital to see Channon, got Sophia (my girl Lahso) fixed this morning, and my son has the chicken pox!!!
Okay so that was the breifing. Channon is doing well.
Thank you all for your prayers and for being concerned about her. She had a few infections and now has one in her head, but she is on antibiotics now and is doing well. They filmed her for the Today Show on Thurs. but I am not sure yet when it is going to air. I will let you all know as soon as I find out. Also, she does have a website where you get all the info on her and my brother posts all of her updates every day or other day.
www.thestatus.com. Login: Hopson Password: Liquid-Delta. My SIL has been up with her for the last 2 weeks, she even had them put in a Queen size bed so she could sleep with her instead of having her in a crib. She said they both sleep alot better that way.
Had to take Sophia in today to get spayed. I felt really sad when I had to leave her there.
But Melvin will be picking her up at 4:00 today. Shadow is really sad though. He was running around the house looking for her and then when he couldnt find her he just laid down in the middle of the floor and looked lost. Poor baby.
My son's last day of school was supposed to be today, but he caught the chicken pox last Friday so that ended up being his last day. I called his school and they made it very clear that they would look forward to seeing him in Sept. It was pretty funny how they said it.
So needless to say, he was a very happy camper. The weird thing about it though was that I just had him and my girls vaccinated for the chicken pox 3 weeks ago. But he still got it!! But because he did get the vaccine, he has what they say is a "mild case" of it. It doesnt look mild to me, but he doesnt have a fever or anything, and he really isnt itching much either. I used the 24 hour non-drowsy Claritin and that has worked wonders! The girls havent gotten it, so I am praying that they dont!!
My new job is going very well! I love it!! I get along really well with my co-workers and my supervisor. We make a great team. I havent really gotten to meet all of the students yet because they where already out of school, but now we are starting our summer program so I will be meeting those kids on Monday. We are taking them hiking and then for BBQ. Hiking?!!! Well, it should be fun. Hey I just might lose some weight after all!!
I cant wait to leave for Africa.
I am going for pleasure, enrichment, and wisdom. I think it is imperative for me and my family to visit at least once to have hands on knowledge of our heritage. I cant wait to take my kids. It will be a while though, I want them to go when they can really appreciate it. I will definitely be posting pictures when I come back.
Donna- Happy Anniversary and Happy Birthday to your DH!!! 
You sound like a busy lady as well. It sounds like you and Joe had a really nice anniversary. Congratulations on your weight loss and overall improved health!! What a blessing, you are doing so well. Keep up the good work! 
Gary- Prayers for you and Angie for a fun and safe trip here to Washington! Hey can ya bring some sun when you come?!!! 
Margie - Yes, Channon is doing better, but she is not back home yet. We are hoping she will be home by the end of next week. If her blood tests come back negative for infection she can go home. Thank you for your prayers!! 
doitforme - Thank you so much for your prayers!! Channon is better. I will surely keep you posted on her progress!
Chris & Amanda - Welcome!!
Oh yeah, I finally have a computer at home so I will be able to post in the evenings once I get my kids in the bed!! Yeah!!
Well, gotta go!! I will post again soon!! Blessings to you all!!!
