Monday, August 30

Rain! Rain! Rain! Rain! I am watching TV & lying down. I did a little bit of algebra today which was boring. I want Buddy & Ms Kitty. I slept most of the day because it is raining. Momma & I hung out with John & Sherry Bolduc for lunch at Chacho's (a Mexican restaurant). This weekend I went to the beach with Aunt Caroline & mommy. First, we went to Moody Gardens, the aquarium in Galveston, and I got a stuffed sea turtle with a hoodie on that says "Moody Gardens." That aquarium is bigger than the one downtown here. WE saw 3 different kinds of eels. Next, we ate at McAlister's, my favorite restaurant. Then, we got Dippin Dots, another favorite of mine. After that, we checked into the motel and I did a breathing treatment and took a nap. When I woke up, we went to the beach and I got tired and I got sand in my pants. LOL! Then, we went to the pool. We were so tired that we just ate Sonic for supper. Then, me & Mommy came back to the apartment yesterday & napped for the rest of the day. I love you, Aunt Caroline, and thank you for a great weekend!

August 24, Tuesday

Hi! (cough) (coughing deeper) & laughing. I made an A today on history! (I think) & I'm a little sicker. I have lost weight. I'm going to the beach (Galveston) this weekend with my aunt Caroline & my momma! I ate KFC for supper; they forgot to put my potato wedges in with my chicken. It wasn't good! I want my puppy & my kitty. It rained & thundered here today, and it woke me up from my nap. I went to pt today, and I did schoolwork! I also went to McDonald's and got an M & M McFlurry & some sweet tea! Momma has to cook tomorrow & go buy groceries and buy a flashlight, bucket & net to catch sand crabs with. I'm off my IV meds for now. I have to take a glucose test to check my blood sugar levels, & I have to have a bone scan & a blood gas done. WE haven't scheduled those tests yet.

Back to Houston Saturday

Hey! This is Steph! I am going back to Houston Saturday to stay with Erin, and Mike will be coming home. I have really loved being able to spend time at home with Casey. I miss her sooooo much when I'm in Houston. I've been working for the last two weeks, and I will miss everyone at work too. Going to church with the CBC crew has been great, and it has been great to worship in a small church again. Casey has celebrated her 16th birthday, and Erin has celebrated her 14th. Thanks to everyone for all of the birthday wishes! Casey will be in Amanda Mills & Hunt Blackledge's wedding Saturday. Other than Amanda, Casey will be the most beautiful girl there. Erin is still hanging out waiting for a pair of lungs. Her 02 stats have been dropping lately at pt, and she is back on IV meds; her lung function is 15 (so a little change but not much). Please continue praying for Erin & our family. We continue to thank all of you for your continued prayer, encouragement, & support. God has been so AWESOME to us by continually blessing our lives!
