I took this photo a week ago or so. I wanted to post it to tell how my brother George is doing. His surgery went very well. his by pass was a 3 way. He had to stay on the ventilator over night. They removed it yesterday morning and he was not breathing as deeply on his own, as of 4:00...so they may put him back on it. I am praying for the best today. I know he needs to be up. They had our mother up on the 3rd day. I also realize everyone is different.
This is my grandson Brock. He is still playing his guitar He is tuning this one for his cousin Savannah.
He bought his daughter Layla a little guitar for Christmas. Here they are playing together.
Layla loves to dance and play. Such a sweet child.
On a happy note, she is wearing her new panties. I said , I wear mine like that a times. :):) You know those days when you can't tell which end is up.
I have been a little glum with this crazy weather. I love the temperatures , 47 yesterday...but rain all day and fierce winds last evening. Today will be quiet till later. 54 today and 60 tomorrow, with rains. I am not a fan of winter rains...but if this were snow with those winds last night.. I would be shoveling today.
California is getting so much rain...too much at once. Places in the south having snow and ice. Cold in Texas. Where are people going for a warm vacation? Wishing you all well. Be safe when going out. XO
Praying your brother continues to improve, Susie. Layla is a cutie!

ReplyDeleteThank you Betsy. I am loving all the good wishes and prayers for my brother and our family. It's a huge help. Today was wet and gloomy. I am needing sunshine. :):) Blessings to you, xoxo, Susie
DeleteYou're right in saying everybody is different. Praying your brother will soon be able to breathe on his own and up and getting around. My husband had a quad bypass and it was four days before they could coax him up.
ReplyDeleteWhat a sweet pic of your grandson and Layla playing guitar. She is a doll. He's a handsome young man.
Thank you Nonnie. I am anxious for my brother to get up and moving. I love that Brock bought his daughter, Layla , a guitar...hope she will take an interest in music like her father. :):) Blessings to you, xoxo, Susie
DeleteFunny what children put on their heads. Your little great is adorable. (My daughter used to love to wear a basket on her head.) Keep looking up!
ReplyDeleteVee, Your telling of your daughter and the basket made me think of one of my twins...she would get pots out of the cabinet and sit in them or wear them as hats...so funny. Hope you are doing well and stay warm. Blessings, xoxo, Susie
DeletePraying for George to recover quickly. Enjoyed your family photos.
ReplyDeleteHI Karen, Thank you for the prayers, we so appreciate them all. Hope you are stay warm there...crazy weather these days. Blessings, xoxo, Susie
DeleteSusie, I'm glad to hear your brother made it through surgery. I hope he heals now. That is such a sweet picture of Layla and dad playing the guitar. Susie, we are having so much rain here in California, and it is surely needed. It's been raining for three days... and lots of wind too. Our lakes are filling up now!
ReplyDeleteBlessings to you on these January days, Susie. Stay warm and cozy.
love, ~Sheri
Sheri, Thank you for good wishes. I loved seeing Brock and his daughter playing guitar together...so cute. I hope you do not get too much rain where you live...it's scary in some places there. 68 days till spring. :):) Blessings, love, xoxo, Susie
DeleteI'm still praying for your brother and glad to get the update. My brother had to have that in 2012 and he did the same way but is doing great now. I was wondering about you and all this weather. We've went from sub zero weather back to Fall Temps. Winter can be crazy and brutal. You all take care and stay warm. Thanks for the update. Thanks for the Pics, enjoyed them. Hugs, xo
ReplyDeleteHi Susie, I so appreciate all the prayers form my blog family. I believe in their power. I am so glad your brother is doing well. Yes, our weather has been up, down wet , and even sunny at times. I am ready for spring in my heart. Please take care of each other there. I love seeing what the little ones will think of next. :):) Blessings, xoxo, Susie
DeleteSending prayers up for your brother. Sometimes it takes a try or two to get them weened off the vent. I am sure they will have better success today. I cannot wait until Spring. I am so down in the months of January and February too. Just want to get past the cold and no sun days and into looking out to sun filled days and new life coming back. Have a great week.

Kris, I just got word my brother was sitting up and talking...hooray. God is good. Thanks for the prayers. My gosh I was beginning to think I was the only one thinking...hurry up spring time. I think the fact that fall lasted so long and winter is super cold when it's here and gone in a day or two...I am so confused. I am almost dreading Feb. :) I have not done much since taking down Christmas. I need to get busy, busy ,busy. Hugs to you dear friend. Blessings, xoxo, Susie
DeleteI rarely read comments but I saw that your above comment said your brother is doing better. I am so glad he is doing well and I know you are relieved and grateful.
ReplyDeleteI hope you have a good night and week. This weather just drives me nuts with the cold and ice and snow. Then, you add the overcast dreary days and I just want to run away sometimes. lol
I can hardly wait for Spring- xo Diana
Diana, You know that we pray and take our worries to God...but still we worry, no wonder God lets our hair turn gray. LOL. I was thrilled to know George was sitting up. Kris told me it takes a while to get off the ventilator and that made me feel better too. I think we need to start a , "I am outta here" traveling ladies club for the winter months. I think I could use a cruise. I have not had a real vacation in years now. 68 more days till spring Diana. LOL. Blessings to you and yours, Love, xoxo, ,Susie
DeleteI'm glad to read that your brother came through the surgery well. I hope he does not need to go on the ventilator again. We have had wind and rain, but still have a lot of snow on the ground, too. -Jenn
ReplyDeleteJenn, I heard from my brother's daughter last night(Wed.)that he has been move to a special care room, a step down from SICU and he is sitting up. That is such good news . I am so thankful. I know all the prayers have helped. Our weather this morning at 7:00 is 50 degrees and will reach 60 then start dropping back to winter temps and then snow. It's a crazy winter here. I hope we can all have an early spring...because it's only 67 days to go. Oh course it snows in spring. :( Blessings to you and yours, xoxo, Susie
DeleteI'm glad to be back home now with reliable Internet service so I can comment again. It's iffy in the country and I have to use my hot spot a good bit.
ReplyDeleteGod is good and I'm thankful your brother is doing so well.....
Linda, we have an ice storm headed our way...I am hoping we do not lose power. Glad you are home safe and sound. Blessings, love, xoxo, Susie
