Blessings

Thank you for all of your thoughts and prayers for my grandad and the rest of our family over the past two weeks. My grandad actually didn't have a heart attack, but a gall bladder attack. When he went to the doctor, tests showed severe heart blockage which led to his actual triple bypass on June 2. He was doing fine from that, but then his gall bladder ruptured, which led to emergency surgery. He was very sick for a couple of days, and the stress from that made his kidneys fail temporarily. He had to have dialysis 4 times, but thankfully today was the last of those. And finally... he got to go home today!!!
It will be a long road of gaining strength, regulating blood sugars and learning to rest a little more. So please feel free to keep sending the prayers our way! :)
Justin and I are ready for a break. He's been travelling so much and we've been to Lubbock the last three weekends. Thankfully, we can stay home this weekend and do a little bit of nothing.
Hope you all have a good weekend and are enjoying your summer so far!
Holly
