Melissa's email

Got a nice email from Melissa. She was asking some questions so rather than having to repeat myself, I’ll just answer her here so everyone can eavesdrop.

Anna is doing much better but still having some tummy aches. I FINALLY got her new med today. Yes, another change. I think this is the 4th one; frankly I’ve lost count. This one thankfully is a powder to dissolve in water/juice/applesauce. There was a mix up with the doctor’s office that delayed the prescription being called in for 2 days. We got that settled and then the pharmacy didn’t have the med in stock. The good part is I’m now very good friends with one of the pharmacists. She was wonderful through all this. Went above and beyond the call of duty and I truly do appreciate all her efforts. We haven’t met face to face yet but I promised to stop by and say hello next trip into town. During one of our many phone calls, we found a common passion for our local mountains. Yep, soul mates, for sure!

Anna does have a follow-up visit with the GI specialist next month. We’ll know more then and will keep you posted as we find out any information.

Raven is doing great. She’s just growing up way too fast. That kid just amazes me. She’s turned into a big Reba McIntire fan. I think Reba is a pretty good role model.

Today Ravie made a bowl of her delicious oatmeal for me while I was on my elliptical machine (yes, my beloved treadmill died and I decided I would like to try an elliptical. I love it. I didn’t say it’s easy, I said I love it.) I had gotten some organic applesauce with pineapple from Target. So I had oatmeal with pineapple/applesauce and toasted sunflower seeds – it was toooo yummy!! Rave loves making oatmeal for me and she really does a great job! Microwave, not stove.

You’re correct, Melissa. We are all lousy at keeping up with each other. We all have such hectic lives. Aren’t we all thrilled to have all our “time saving” gadgets?! Geesh! Anyway, that’s my goal here with this blog – to try to keep everyone up to date.

For those of you who don’t know Melissa, she is married to Robert’s brother John. And I’d like to say public and heartfelt congratulations to their daughter Julie! Yes, our little Julie is graduating from high school! The now famous Enterprise High. Julie, again, we’re so thankful you weren’t injured in the tornado. We had several loved ones there that day. All were uninjured. Frightened and hit with flying debris, but not injured. Thank God.

It goes without saying that if EHS could survive a teenage Robert, a tornado could only do so much!
