Although most all of the damages we suffered from Hurricane Ike have all been repaired, he still seems to be finding ways to annoy us. Our telephone service has been out since September 25, which also meant that we didn’t have DSL for the internet. AT&T workers came this week to dig up our telephone lines (seems Ike’s heavy rains caused the underground lines to become so wet that they shorted out) and repair the damaged lines. I could do without the house phone, we do have cells phones..........however, I was going into withdrawals without the internet.
One very, very important date that we missed getting to post about was Krisha’s 27th birthday on October 5th.
A birthday comes just once a year, so we hope it was a very special time for her. We truly missed being there with her to celebrate. (Although we gave our presents to her in September when we were home, I failed to send a birthday card! I know.....bad, bad mother!)
Krisha's birthday is as much a celebration for me as it is for her, maybe more, because she is my greatest accomplishment in life. She is truly a gift from God. Anyone who spends time with her knows what an extraordinary person she is.
Eli goes to a new doctor this afternoon. After Dr. Kimbrell (I hope everyone in the Fayette area realizes how lucky they are to have this wonderful doctor available!!! Jim and I both have so much praise for what she has done for Eli.) told us that his liver disease would be something we would have to control the rest of his life, we have decided to have him examined and cared for by a veterinarian that specializes in internal medicine. Please keep him in your prayers!!!
Our lives have returned back to normal, although there are still so many neighborhoods that haven't....and never will because of Ike. Please, please continue to pray for the people in this area.
On a brighter note, we certainly are enjoying this season's ALABAMA football!!! Jim says the games are getting too intense for him at times to watch, I just tell him , "That's Bama football!"
