POSTING DELAYS !!

Ok..The Borden County Coyotes are still in the Six-Man Division II Play-offs. They play Motley County Saturday in Lubbock for the State Semi-Finals. GO COYOTES !!!

D'Nae was sent home yesterday from school sick. She was complaining about her eye yesterday morning and thought she would be ok at school. I was going to call and get an appt with the eye dr anyway when he arrived in town around 9:30 but she beat him to Post. It seems she has an ulcer on her cornea and m0re than likely strep throat. The Dr. gave her some eye drops that she had to put in her eye every hour yesterday and now 5 times a day for the next 7 days. She also has to take an antibiotic 4 times a day for 10 days. That means NO CONTACTS. Normally that isn't a problem because she wears her glasses a lot....but...Maegen stepped on them and had broken them. So, Mom took off of work to take her to Lubbock so that she could get her some new glasses. Maegen had gymnastics from 4pm-5pm in Gail so someone had to be there to pick her up. I couldn't be in two places at once...and I didn't have time to get D'Nae to Lubbock, wait an hour (or more) on her glasses and get back to Gail before 5pm. Sooo THANK YOU Nana !!! Now...here comes the tricky part...she has a basketball tournament this weekend, a game on Tuesday, and another tournament next weekend so that is like 9 games in the next 7 -10 days. So...is she going to play basketball in her glasses or play blind ? Only time will tell. I hate to speculate on what SHE may or may not do. It's anyone's guess.

Rhaeden participated in the Jr. High UIL competition two weeks ago. He placed 3rd individually in Maps, Graphs and Charts and 1st place team. He also competed in Music Memory. He didn't place individually but was a part of the 1st place team. WAY TO GO !! I am sooo PROUD of you !!

Thanksgiving (also my birthday) lunch we spent with the Blands. Shirley was released from the hospital on Wednesday afternoon. Wednesday night she looked really good and said she felt good. Thursday after lunch, she was hurting and took a pain pill. She took a nap and when she got up from her nap she said she was feeling better. Everyone was able to be there for lunch and it was definately a time and a reason to be THANKFUL !! Around 4pm we went to Mom and Dads house to see them. Mike, Stacy and the girls had already left for Glen Rose, so we didn't get to see them, but I did get pictures of the girls. Thank You !!! Mom, Dad, LaShae, Whit, Granny and PaPa were there so we got to visit with them and spend some time with them. Rhaeden and Maegen twisted (doesn't take much) Pops' arm to play dominoes with them. I think Rhaeden won one game and Maegen won the next. Pop was completely shut out !! Grandad was suppose to come but Ronnie had to be hospitlized last week and someone was having to stay with him 24 hours a day, so he stayed to take a shift at the hospital.

Shirley had to go back to the Dr. on Tuesday. It seems her incision is infected and some of the staples had to be removed and the wound opened up and drained. It will have to be packed and unpacked everyday so that it will heal from the inside out. It will take longer, but the tissue looks very healthy. Her spirits are down a bit with this latest obstacle. She just needs to keep eating right and getting stronger. The remaining staples will be removed tomorrow (Friday).
