Grandchildren




I got some great photos of the grandkids and wanted to share them with the world - of course. Some days seem so normal for this little family and others are far from it.

As most of you know my granddaughter Rainy has a chronic and terminal condition that sends her to the hospital on a pretty regular basis. She has a variety of brain related problems including, but not limited to, cerebelum disorder, DandyWalker syndrome, seizures, arachnoid cyst which requires a shunt, and a bunch of other things I can't remember the names of. Of course added to this, Rainy has struggled with abdomenal abcesses that have nearly claimed her life a couple of times. With all of that - you can well imagine the expenses just in travel. So my oldest daughter Jen - a Pampered Chef rep. is working with Rainy's mother - our daughter Julie and her church to have a fund raiser.

So I'm here to shamelessly promote it and let you know if you want to spread the news about it and give folks the link to order - Pampered Chef is giving back a percentage of sales to Rainy's travel needs.

Here's the link: http://www.pamperedchef.biz/kitchjen?page=products-main&showId=3628804



A big thank you to all who participate and who have been praying for my little granddaughter and the family. It's those prayers that have gotten us through this far. We've almost lost Rainy several times, but God isn't finished with her yet and she continues to surprise the doctors and her family by hanging in there.

God Bless You!
