Jon & Kate Plus 8

O
kay, I don't know how many of you watch Jon & Kate Plus 8, but that is my life on Monday nights. As I sit here and watch tonight's episode I am just devastated about their decision to separate!!! I know that it happens everyday in many families, but I guess I feel like they are part of my family and because they are separating just hurts me. I know most of you are saying, it's just TV because that is what Darrin says to me all the time, but when you watch a SHOW regardless of what kind it is, you get hooked and wound up in it.

Sorry, just had to share my feelings!!

Our Little Celebrity

Here is a link that Dana has sent to me with Rhae's debut in the Arkansas newspaper. I love being the aunt of a famous little girl!!

Update on Rhae

I am so very sorry that I am just now updating on Rhae. Below is an email that Dana sent for me to pass along to everyone else. Thank you all for your concerns, calls and prayers. We are so fortunate to have baby Rhae part of our lives.

God is good! Dr. Esposito came in a little while ago and said Rhae's arm has a small callous forming so we will not do surgery as this is an indicator of healing. She is having a custom-made brace put on and he said we should expect it to take about another 2 weeks to heal. Her lungs still showed a little infiltrate from the pneumonia, so I guess it's good we are not having surgery after all. We were worried about her heart being a little enlarged so they did an echo which was essentially normal but did show a small hole at the top which he said was a little prolapse into one of the valves Her heart size was ok, but because of the deep sinking in of her chest (pectus excavatum), it is pushing her heart back and to the side which makes it look enlarged. Dr. E is having a cariothoracic surgeon look at her xrays for ideas. We are currently waiting on him to finish a case and come back and see what he thinks about the brace so we canbe cleared to go. Thank you all for your prayers.

Prayers Needed

For those of you who know me and my family or for those of you who may read my sister's blog as well (thebusbybuzz) may or may not know by now that about two weeks ago my niece Rhae(14 mths) broke her arm. She has been on pain meds for two weeks now and her arm is not healing. Her doctor in town splinted it per her doctor in Omaha. Well as of this morning at 7:30a.m. Dana and Rhae were on their way to Omaha for Rhae to have surgery tomorrow at 12:30p.m. They will not know until they get in there whether or not they will put a rod in or a wire. My sister and her family have not only been blessed by Rhae, but again have been blessed by God today!! Dana has been trying to find flights for a couple of days now and in her search she found a ministry that is called Pilots for Christ. They picked Dana and Rhae up this morning at the Demopolis Airport and took them to Arkansas where she changed planes and they continued on to Omaha. All free of charge!!!!! They will also come back and get them to bring them home. This ministry is actually out of Monroeville, Al. They work solely off of donations. So I ask you if anyone which there have been many to ask what they may do to help Dana and her family. Please donate to this WONDERFUL ministry. You may go to www.pilotsforchrist@yahoo.com. I am not sure what info if any is there, but Dana will be able to us this ministry anytime she has to flight to Omaha. And not only did she get her flight for free, a room came available at the Rainbow House which is like the Ronald McDonald house. It's free as well for them to stay there. My mom was also able to meet them there. So, all I have to say today is PRAISE GOD!!!!!! Please think of Rhae and Dana tomorrow. Please pray for Dana's strength to continue. Please pray that they will find the best fit for Rhae, whether it be the rod or wire in her arm. I will try and keep you all updated.
