Good Morning Everyone and Happy Thanksgiving! I just wanted to take a minute and give thanks to our wonderful family, friends, and you all for your constant thoughts and prayers. This year has been a bit tough but we've made it because of your caring. Jillian is doing well and being her silly old self again. It seemed like she was coming off the steroids just fine until that Sunday. Then she started acting whiney and clingy and grumpy just like she does on steroids. That lasted until just last Wednesday. Finally she started acting better and more normal. She did have a little bout of upset stomach and loose bowels for a day, but that only lasted a day. (Jake ended up with the same thing a week later. How strange is that?) Anyway, with that behind her, we can finally enjoy a happy kid again. Well, at least for another week. We go for our spinal tap on the 4th. I'm not looking forward to that, but hopefully she will pull right through like last time and be fine. Everything around here was going great until yesterday. I went to use my oven to get some food ready for our feast today and low and behold, it wouldn't work. I called for service and the quickest they could come out was Monday. Not exactly going to help me cook our turkey today is it? Of course there was no one available for service and our stove was at least 12 or more years old. That in itself does not bode well for getting it fixed. So, after several calls, we decided to purchase a new one and pick it up ourselves. (Thank you Thom!) Dennis loaned us his pickup and his strength and I started cooking by 4:00pm. yesterday. What a whirlwind that was. At the time, I almost couldn't laugh about it, but now it's quite humorous. Whew, I'm glad that's over. Thanks again for all your prayers. They are working wonders in our lives daily. Please continue to pray for Jillian, Luke, Carter, Chloe, Raquel, John, Lexy, Blake, Kyle, Kelly, Mickey, and the ALL Kids. Have a wonderful Thanksgiving. Peace, Cathy
