Prayer Request.

Hey guys!

*Update Edit*
The surgery went really well! He will probably be there for 2/3 days with a draining tube in his neck to let all the fluids drain out. And they will see where to go from there. I would post before/after pics, but Ill let him do that if he wants. He is doing good, starving(hasn't eaten for 30hrs) but good. Thanks for your prayers! :)

Could you all please pray for Micah?
For the past few weeks he has had a swollen lump type thing on his neck and yesterday he went to get a CTscan and then to our pediatrician. Yesterday evening he was admitted to PCH. This swollen lump is MRSA on his lymph node. Which, is located right under the jaw area. Not sure how long he will be there. But, he is sick and tired of being in and out of the hospital all the time and always having to deal with the mrsa junk. So, could I just ask prayer that he heals nice and quick and that God will give the docs. wisdom on how to deal with this and that it will be a short stay?!
They are getting ready to prep him for surgery here in just a bit.
He appreciates any prayers!

Thanks!

God Bless,
Mandie

October

October starts the birthday phenomenon, it contains 5(family) birthdays, and 3(friend) birthdays(that I am aware of.) It also brings in my favorite time of year, Autumn. Pumpkin patches, corn mazes, pumpkin pie making(and lets not forget pumpkin spice lattes :D) Crunchy leaves, bon fires, hay rides, well, I could go on for hours. Some of my favorite memories are because of Fall. I won't go into dets. but, you get the gist.:)

To start, the 1st was Zac's 20th birthday, TWENTY!!!! Holy cow. I was thinking, in thirty years, Ill be 47. Scurrryyy. I feel so old. lol jk We celebrated by going out to a late lunch, early dinner...linner. ;) Tradition in our family is, you either pick where you want to eat for dinner, (or if you'd rather a home made meal, thats great too!) or a favorite breakfast. He chose Red Robbin, after that we came home and watched a movie and just visited..well, some of us! lol That concludes the 1st family bday.

The 2nd was my friend Ian's 17th birthday. I went, had a fantastic time. I especially enjoyed catching up with his parents! haha (first friend birthday)

The 3rd was Grandmas bday. So thankful to God that she is still here with all her health problems and what-not. Love her!

The 10th is Micah's 15th!! Blah! He is getting so old(and, might I add, tall as well?!) He's pretty much a super amazing brother. To put it short, at birth Micah almost didn't make it, not even from the beginning, but he is here, sick or well, he is here. No one can have him! haha



The 11th is Joah's 8th birthday. Aww. He has gotten so big. I still remember the day he was born. And, going in to see him for the very first time. He's our little angel, long story behind that. haha
Not sure what we are going to do for M's and J's birthday yet, but it should be good!
There are two other friend bday's after them. Zac refuses to let me put a pic up of him, so, yeah.
Then, the 15th is my daddies birthday!! :))
I have the most amazing dad in all the world, I thank God for him everyday, and that he chose to raise us up in a Godly manner, and at home! :)
So! Today we went to the Tolmacoff farm for a family outing and to 'pick' our pumpkin(s)..they wanted $7 per PERSON to get in, thats just to get in. Did not include rides, petting zoo, corn maze or anything. Just to get in. HAHA! What a joke! Aaah, I miss Crow Dairy Farm, and The Dunkin Family Farm. So, we came home and just rested. Started searching for farms that are reasonably priced and such. Found two so far. A bit of a drive, but worth it I'm sure. (tho nothing beats the farms I stated above).
Who enjoyed the rain/hail/thunder all that jazz the other day? Whoot!! I know I did! haha My friend said he got pine cone sized hail in his neck of the woods(Paradise valley). Crazy. Gee, there goes that global warming again! (jk, ;))
Just thought I'd update. Hope everyone is doing well!

Verse:Romans15:13~May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in Him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit!

Random Fact: I wanna move to Prescott. And visit Verona Italy. :) (In my dreams!;)

God Bless
