this mouse looks so happy

Woke up this morning, and found a message from Mary.  Oh, our hearts just ache for what she is going through.  Jason is seriously and I mean, very seriously ill and is in ICU at St. Lukes.  After all she has gone through this past year, we just keep praying that Jehovah will give her and Randy the strength to endure.  Well, all of the Oakleys;  EO & Lauren are up there with them right now.  They flew Julia in and the rest of the family is there to now.  Just so sad.  they are going minute by minute.  

The gal from IRIS was here and she told me that she has heard this buy is been really hard on young adults but he elderly haven't had much trouble with it. She has heard of a couple of others who passed from this bug and they were generally healthy and in their 30's.  Crazy awful. 

As for Carol, she keeps slipping away.  EO is still struggling to keep it together.  It seems though, our morning worship routine is helping though.  He is looking forward to it each day.  So that makes me happy. 

My hip is doing somewhat better today. It just aches a lot, not the really bad pain it has been in the past few days, so that is a relief.   But right now, i am soooooo tired.  i'm just vegging now.  EO has been keeping me posted on what is going on up there with Jason.  So I am home by myself for now.  Steph left for work a little while ago.  I am just keeping the fire going.  Good thing since it is a whopping -5 below.  not a good day to be out and about, but sometimes, things just happen.  

Colton is doing better.  The eye drops he was given helped, so his eyes are much better.  he was mandated and had to work a longer shift.  so he called this morning on his way back to his house sitting job.  (Evans) he said he liked only being about 15 minutes (or so) from Superior.

i did some research yesterday on hip replacements as well as exercises that you do while in bed recovering.  which was perfect, because since the doc doesn't want me on the treadmill and even the low impact workout i was doing and the kettle bells, are giving my hip far to much trouble, and the kettle bells are hard on my shoulders and neck.  so i'm doing these ones I can doing while in bed that won't aggravate my hips and shoulders just strengthen them.  So i will keep working on that.
