Happenings

I just found this draft from last week and realized it never got posted.

It's pouring on the Salinas family right now, but you know there is always a rainbow after it rains....somewhere.

Lupe has been put on hospice and has been moved to a floor in her assisted living facility that gives her 24 hour care. She has now been moved back into her apartment with Gilbert with a higher level of care. The nice thing about hospice is that the medical team comes to her. She no longer has to venture out in the car to be seen. She is hanging in there. Thank you for your prayers.

Bill found out yesterday that he has a torn meniscus in his knee. He needs arthroscopic surgery sooner rather than later. Awaiting his surgery consult.

This past Tuesday we attended a funeral for a very dear friend who camps with us who lost his life, at the age of 60, within 4 months of getting brain cancer. Amazing, amazing service with wonderful friends and family that have truly celebrated Dale's life.

We have been chosen by the IRS to have a 2009 and 2010 audit. We have an apt. later this month. Ugh.

On Feb. 8th my niece, Kaitlyn, will have open heart surgery at Children's Hospital Los Angeles. My mother was able to donate blood that she will receive during her surgery. She even sealed the bag with a kiss! Kaitie had her surgery yesterday and things seem to be going well. She is in Children's Hospital LA currently and is in the process of weaning off her vent. Please continue to pray!

Kai threw up last night in a restaurant lobby and had the flu all night. He is home with Bill and appears to be doing a little better. It was the 12 hour flu. I had it yesterday. It hurt, but passed rather quickly.

This past Wednesday a dear friend of ours lost her young mother to toxic shock after being in the hospital with pneumonia. Was unable to attend her funeral, but heard it was wonderful. I guess everyone brought a craft that she had made for them to share. How cool is that?

We do have a lot to be thankful for. GOD is in CONTROL and I will continue to rely on HIM for STRENGTH!
