thanks all
update this a.m... mom has been at her cousin's hepling her fix leaky plumbing and put in new tile. she has had back surgeries and this over-doing it work has aggravated her back - a lot - and the stress of my bro doesnt help. so, after the phone call yesterday morning, cousin called a friend that's a nurse and they got mom calmed down. gave her pain meds and she slept all day. she woke this morning feeling better. they called and got appointment for a pain specialist monday. the nurse friend has had the same surgeries as mom plus 2. she said the pain gets worse with scar tissue building up and they do more surgeries to remove that....grrrrr....praying for no more surgeries and no more pain. mom got that necrotic strep last time and we almost lost her.
as for bro...mis-communication and he wasn't outside of where he's allowed to be - thats good i guess - but still drunk and not allowed to be ...so not a change there really.
thank you all for continuing to pray with me for them. love y'all oodles and gobs.
oooohh and yesterday was my son's 8th birthday. it was busy and fun. what was really cool was that through the whole thing every time there was a quiet moment Holy Spirit reminded me to pray. i have asked God for this type of closeness with Him for sooooo long! God is so good!
amen!!
