Back to Normal - Whatever that is...

Jessi and Mom are both back from their respective trips. Jessi just got back on Wednesday Evening from a 5 week missions trip to Haiti. Check her blog for info on how that went, cause I really don't know. http://www.anurseslife-jessi.blogspot.com/. So now I've got to start obeying my elders again, since I've got someone at home to boss me around.

Mom just got back last night from being with her mom in New York. Grandma has been in the hospital for 3 weeks now. She is stable at the time being, but they as of Friday, they just finished doing another surgery because her infection came back. They took out an area of infection the size of a grapefruit, and put in another drain. Her red blood cell count is low, so she is constantly having to have blood transfusions. If y'all could pray that Grandma wouldn't get discouraged, and would be able to continue fighting, it'd be appreciated.

I went to a wedding on Friday. A girl that I'd met on the trip was getting married, and she invited me to her wedding. And since I also knew that a lot of the people I'd made friends with on the trip would be there, I got my sister to take me to the wedding. It was nice being able to visit with them. Somehow, being together 24/7 for 15 days really brings people together. I may not be extremely close with any of them, but it's a bond that's different...and difficult to describe. And of course, the inside jokes always abound. It was really funny to see my sister looking at everybody real funny like, while we are all busting out laughing about something that would make absolutely no sense to somebody who hadn't been on the trip.

Glad your grandma is doing better.
I agree with you that being together with people all the time really brings you together.
Love your profile comment(the black and white picture).

hmmm... 91-16. Wild guess...1991 is the year you were born, and you are now 16. Am I right? Do I know you? I love to guess about who people are...but if I don't know you, then it's a complete waste of my time. Let me know!

after serious deducing and much detective work...I've decided to make a guess on this mysterious person that they call..."91-16"

Ducky.
