my dear blogging brother and sisters, thank you so much for your prayers and comments (or tiaras :-)! i can't express what it means to have you in prayer behind me and my family.

as of right now, things seem to keep going back and forth. he has been moved out of icu into his own room, which is an answer to prayer. we're thinking he'll be able to go home soon, but taking one day at a time. doctors seem to be in disagreement over the cause of the low blood pressure and what's causing his breathing to be difficult, but his blood pressure is pretty normal now and his breathing seems to be getting somewhat better. just continue praying for wisdom to make decisions for my dad, uncle marty, aunt kim, and grandmother...and for clear communication from the doctors.

i'm going to see him today. i went to pick up faith from there yesterday and saw meme (my grandmother) as she was walking back in. "are you coming back?" she asked. i'm sure she's wanting visitors as much as papaw. so, i thought i could take a little while to go sit with them.

i also am going to put in an application at a hotel for the front desk...i had mentioned the job situation to one of my black belt instructors. i knew he managed a hotel, but i hadn't even thought of putting in an application there. well, when he heard i didn't have any immediate plans he mentioned he had some positions for part-time open and said to put in an application. this would be working with people, and i'd still get to laugh at the crazy ones! :-D so, i thought i'd go in today and do put one in while i was out running around. please pray that if this is right, that the hours and everything would work out smoothly.
