Greetings from Hawaii


Shane's sister Heather came and visited this past week. She arrived with some of our favorite treats from the island....we love her!! She was so excited to see Shane without all of the hospital parifanalia going every which way, since the last time she saw him was 4-23-08. Heather was only here for five days but we found the time to get the really important things in, like eating out and shopping! We did even get to cousin Heidi's house for cake and ice cream since Isabelle turned 1yr. old. Most of Heidi's family was there so it was a really nice visit with extended family.
Our week was going relatively smooth until ex rays of my mom's hip came back positive with a hip fracture, meaning surgery. So Monday evening we were at the hospital waiting for a room. Followed by Tuesday waiting for her surgery which happened at about 7pm. Wednesday was spent in the hospital spending time visiting with Grammy, as Jake calls her and with Dave (my brother), Lisa, Spencer and Ryan....the two cousins from SD. Today, we found a great rehab hospital for her to recuperate in. I am ready to spend some time outside of Hospitals!

I'm so glad to hear your mom did well!! Keep me updated on her progress. You have had a tuff 4 months my friend...but it will get better!! When we were going through Bridget's pregnancy, Courtney's dog bite, and Gunner's broken elbow one of my visiting teachers reminded me that in the scripture's it always says "and it came to pass" it never says "and it came to stay"! That got me through some frustating times. We love you all and continue to pray for you!!
