No excuses

Last night was a rough sleepless night for Jewel and I.
These nights used to be the norm and now they are stretched out with nights that bring some sleep and rest. What kept us up you ask, well the spasms in Jewel's hips kept firing and it hurts her, it is exhausting for her. They can not pull her hips out any more since she sleeps with the hip adductor brace from Shriners Children's Hospital. All their care for Jewel has been free of charge to us, thank you to all those who support Shriners.

Gary read Soul Surfer, a true story of faith, family, and fighting to get back on the board by Bethany Hamilton, to Jewel. She said, "Great book!". Jewel would like to write to Bethany. Bethany has a movie coming out soon. One of our pictures on the fridge is a photo of Bethany and Nick Vujicic on a surfboard. It comes out of the Free Surf Magazine, and the Article is titled, No Excuses. Bethany is on the surfboard and just for those who are not familiar with her she had her left arm bitten off by a shark. She is surfing tandem on the board with Nick and he was born with out arms or legs. It is a very powerful image, they do not take no for an answer, and neither should you says the article. check it out at freesurfmagazine.com

Jewel is resting now, sleep is upon her.
Today we will go with the O/T to see the horses and ride Cookie Dough.
Every moment with my children makes for a  remarkable day.
