Fall is in the AIR!
Family update...We are stepping into the 8th yr here at the beach! This is currently the longest this "Home Building" family has ever lived in one house! If you have spent any time here you can understand why. Oh, God is so good. The beach is what drew us here and as beautiful as it is... it's the people in this community that has kept us here. God has grown us. He has loved us. He has given us such sweet love for the people here. We have no biological family here...and family roots here run deep! We consider ourselves truly blessed to be loved by "Belongers" so much so that we don't picture ourselves ever living anywhere else.

Up-date on Mom
Hi, news about Mom. She had an appointment with Dr. Elkhatib on the 14th and he said to take Mom off of decadron and if she starts getting confused to call him. Well this past weekend she started to get confused and yesterday she was quit bad, she couldn't speak a sentance. This morning I gave her a decadron and called the doctors office now at 10:30 and spoke with nurse Rod. Rod just called back to put Mom on 2 decadrons a day and check for improve ment in the next couple days. If no improvement call him back. Lets hope and pray this works.
later
Dad
