My dearest Mr Grits was admitted back into the hospital at Chapel Hill this morning, and he was diagnosed with three very dangerous pulmonary embolisms.
He is being treated with drastic measures, and the doctors have not ruled out surgery.
He could be in the hospital of upwards of 7-9 days.
I will try to log on as much as possible with updates – but please add Mr Grits back to your prayer list.
I am sad to say that I am going to have to discontinue What’s On Your Wall Wednesday, until a time when my life is more settled and stable.
I am so sorry to do this, because I know I loved this event and hope you did, too. If anyone would like to step in and host this event for the time being – or even take it on as their own – I would be happy for you to do so. I have included both sizes of logos for your use.
I am sorry to have to do this – but what little time I will have between caring for the baby, Mr Grits and running a Real Estate Office – I would like to use it to rest and elax and when I can – create a few blog posts here and there, and spend time visiting your blogs, too.
Thank you so much for your understanding, and I sincerely thank all the WOYW participants thus far.
Thank you for your Support, Thoughts and Prayers….Barb

I have not formally “introduced” myself but have “lurked” quite a while here on your blog. I just wanted to let you know I will include you, your hubby and family in Prayer. We serve a great GOD and HE has never left nor forsaken me. When Prayers go up, blessings do come down.

Dear Barb….
I’m so very sorry to hear your hubby’s having trouble. I will pray for you and your family for sure. My husband had triple bypass a number of years ago so I do understand how frighting it can be…….Isn’t it wonderful that we have such an awesome God? 🙂
I ADORE our military, please know that I pray for them all the time. How proud you must be to have both your DIL and son serving this fabulous country. We APPRECIATE them more than words could ever convey.
Many, many blessings,
