Life is Good...

Things have been going well lately! I took Gracie to the vet today to get her stitches out adn they said everything looked good. We have four more weeks of her having to stay in the cage all the time and then she can venture out some. We are all looking forward to that!

Kevin has been super busy with patients the past couple weeks. We started praying for God to give him one or two more and He has totally blessed him with way more than that! I am so excited for him and I know he is enjoying getting that experience. We are counting down the days (four weeks) till he can adjust using the technique he plans to build his career on! We found out last week there is a mission trip with the organization he is getting certified with to Dominican Republic. He will get TONS of experience down there adjusting people. He and I are so excited about that! And in 1 year from this month HE GRADUATES!!!! Again, who is counting!?!?! So things are good. Nothing new for me really. Just excited to see Kevin doing what he is called to do! And I have found that I LOVE to bake! Every tuesday I bake something new for our small group. That gives me an excuse and a place to take the goodies so I don't eat them all! It is so fun! Like I said...Life is Good!

The Night-time Guessing Game

Well we are day four post-op and doing well. She is still very low key. This afternoon was the first time she expressed any interest to get out of the cage other than to potty. Kevin let her sit next to him for about five minutes but then back to the cage with a new bone it was. She cried for a little while but is settled again now. However nights have become interesting. She is sleeping in our room so we can hear her if she needs anything. Thursday night Kevin was up with her for about an hour trying to figure out why she was crying. She had gotten her medicine and gone outside. He kept guessing and finally figured out she was thirsty. So once she had water she went to sleep. I slept through that one since i had to be at work friday. So last night he went to bed and I played the guessing game. I first tried water...she turned her nose up. Tried to take her out but she refused to get out of the cage. Finally I realized she was panting a little. So I cranked up the AC and within 20 minutes she was asleep. Meanwhile the rest of us were a little chilly. But whatever makes her comfy. So we will see how tonight goes. She is so good to tell us when she needs something though. We are thankful for that. More later...we have company coming!
