Day 6 HBOT

I just love when I don't have to think of a name for my post.....LOL

Well another quiet day.....  Steve and I (along with the nurse) took Selah to HBOT this morning.  Then Steve and I went to the Health Food store and got like 8 containers of Hummus:)  They have the best, with no harmful oils in it.  YUM!  That is a great snack!

Jon and the nurse took Selah this afternoon.  Knowing our day is going to be different tomorrow with HBOT and church, I had given the little ones early baths.  Sarah can sit in the bath until she is withered  up!  When Selah got home, she got a bath too.  I feel like supermom LOL!  Even Shad has his shower and it's not even dark outside yet!

But I just remembered, that I didn't stop by the dry cleaners so I'll have to iron Jon's clothes for tomorrow!  CRAP!  I just lost the Supermom title......

Still feeling down, there has been no more of the "startle eye reflex" or whatever you want to call it since Thursday.  I do know skills come and go in kids who are brain damaged.  Sam has a little damage that shows up and he has learned and lost skills several times before he actually kept a specific skill. 


Eric Monier came by to get the last of the yard sale things for the Monier Family Yard sale next week and I was able to give him the check of $420 that you all gave so generously to.  That was NEAT to put it in his hand!  Praying that their yard sale next weekend will make them at least $1000 towards their adoption!

This has been such a crazy month, I started out with a really good blog about our children of the month, two little blind girls in India that Amanda and Chet are adopting.  I haven't pushed their adoption as much as I should have.....    http://myreallifebyyvonne.blogspot.com/2013/08/meet-holmes-family-and-their-new-twins.html     this tells their story.  So far this month we have only raised $200 towards their adoption.  Can we extend this another month?  Let's see if we can't raise some more money for these precious little girls!!!!

Adoption, special needs international adoption is very dear to my heart....  I wish I could have a houseful (well I do have a houseful LOL since our house is small)  But there are so many little ones waiting....they have no hope, I want to bring them hope!

So we are still doing the Daniel Fast but I gave in this morning....I had something sweet....  it was good but I felt guilty but my headache went away!  I'm glad God doesn't demand perfection! 

Please continue to pray for Selah, add her name to your church prayer lists if you have one....thank you all for not forgetting about her......

  1. Our family is so grateful for all of the yard sale donations as well as the financial donations to our adoption! Thank you so very much! With each passing day it seems more and more of a reality that we will finally have a DAUGHTER!!
