What have I been doing for the past week almost that I haven't been to this blog???? As you can imagine, my blog time fits in between some other time. It happens to be a few minutes during my lunch hour that I post onto the site. However....I am an accounting and reconcilliation specialist and the first of the month is the busiest time for me, as my clients are wrapping up the previous month end. I'll have to be more cognizent of my time. It is my goal to post every day - at least during the week...I mean, after all, I am here!!! I have actually been very busy for the past several days. Clarke and I drove to Washington D.C. on Friday night. We spent Saturday at American University. It was a nice school, wonderful people, but she doesn't think it's for her. On the way back, we stopped at my dear friend's house in New Jersey. Although we speak nearly everyday, we don't see each other that often. It was really good to see her. On Monday (yesterday), Chandler, my 4-year-old daughter who is recovering from a bone marrow transplant, had an appointment with the gastroenterologist. She can't/won't take her medicines by mouth, so there is a tube in her stomach that I put her medicine into. It is the best thing ever!!!! We used to fight all the time about the medicines and by the time I got it into her, it would be time for the next dose. This new tube allows me to get her medicines inside her in less than a minute without any fuss. Anyway....she had that surgically placed on Septemer 16, and so this was her follow up visit. They said her site looks great. I was worried that there might be some problems with it because I'm supposed to turn it 1/4 turn everyday, but that hurts her, and since I feel that she has suffered enough for a lifetime, I'm not too eager to inflict any additional pain on her - especially not on a daily basis!!! I was really relieved and so thankful to God that they were pleased with how the tube and the site looked. She is recovering very well. I truly believe that you have a greater appreciaton for a person when you almost lose them. At any rate, the God that made her is the God who healed her. She is doing well and is back to her mischievious self. So you see, it's not that I was neglecting the blog.....I was out living the life that sustains it!!!
