Will the Cold ever go away?

Yesterday, when we woke up it was 13 below zero with a wind chill @ 37 below. Will we ever see spring? Our Buick wouldn't start yesterday and on the way to work, one of the tires blew out on the Van. However, God is good - Ron was about a block & 1/2 from a tire store and no damage was done to the rim. We've had snow on the ground for over 75 days and it's suppose to snow again later today or sometime this weekend. Today is a little warmer - the high will be 19 and the low at 1 degree (heat wave). Oh well, we just bundle up and endure it then come home and drink hot chocolate - I guess that's the good part.

Saturday we received a call from Martha's nurse requesting we put Martha on Hospice. She said it didn't look like she was getting any better and they offer some added services. We wanted to make sure they weren't going to just keep her druged to where she was a vegetable. They will take over where the doctors left off with her wound care. Right now they're giving her hydrocodone every 4-6 hours to help with pain. Her bed sore looks horrible - it's about the size of a silver dollar and about 1/2 - 1 inch deep. I can see why she's in such pain. Sunday when we were there, she didn't want me to leave her side. She kept telling me how much she appreciated me and that she loved me. Ron said this was not her - she very rarely tells anyone she loves them. Also, her countinance was different - her face seemed to glow and she seemed more settled. Thank you Lord - When he changes a heart, he does it in an awesome way. Logan and I haven't seen her since Monday due to cleaning a house Tuesday and going to a funeral yesterday. The day before yesterday she ate a whole bowl of soup, but only a few bites yesterday. She's pretty much quit eating. Please continue to pray for her.

Ron and the kids made my birthday very special Sunday. They bought me some much needed clinique makeup that it is only bought once a year. They are so funny - Ron tries to have them keep stuff like that secret, but they were giving hints so good that I pretty much knew what I was getting. They are so funny!!

Well until next time. Blessings to all!!

Love,
The Scotts
