(CS4U) I am back

Thank you for your faithfulness, encouraging, and studying His word together and on an individual basis.   Some of the changes that we are experiencing in our household ; 1) Christmas - the kids will be with their Dad, Christelle will be in Ohio visiting with her future in laws.     Paul will leave for Idaho right after Christmas, so that I will not be alone during that time. Chris had asked me to go with her but I can not leave the Chihuahuas....   2) Paul's Mom fell last week, 911 was called, she had a large gash on one of her legs> infection has set in> she is unable to feed herself, and has developed aspiration pneumonia>they are now using an NG tube (feeding tube for her nourishments)>IV antibiotics, and as of yesterday, they have started  Morphine IV..... And is not expected to recover. Paul will be in Idaho for an undetermined amount of time, as the problems with his brother's mental health is still an issue. I will be remaining here in Md, as I can not tolerate the Idaho winters.   3) Darvocet was recalled recently, which I have been taking for some time. I only take 1 pill every 12 hours for pain related to Rheumatoid. After researching, I have to wonder if my heart attack, stroke, chronic low blood pressure, dizziness, fatigue, and frequent episodes of confusion are all related to taking DCN..... My Mother who took Darvocet died with the cardiac annomalies that have been associated with the darvocet. I have some strong mixed emotions about all of this ........ I have contacted one of the lawyers ( located in DC ) who is dealing with all the fall out from the darvocet recall. I will have to do a cardiac work up to see exactly what damage has been done to my heart. As well as a respiratory work up, respiratory damage is probably the most alarming to me, as it has become a chronic issue.   OK, just since, I have started writing this, I have had 3 interruptions....LOL.......   Some good things going on: 1) Janice and I are working out a puppy swap. I need a little male, if we are to continue to breed Chihuahuas.   2) Amber has the offer of a internship as a photographer for the local paper. It would be for about 10 hours a week. I think Christelle is taking her there today on the way back from amber's Dr appt..It will not interfer with her apprentiseship for cosmetology , which is 20 hours per week, or her home school subjects that she is completing online. She is a Junior.   3) Lane is , also a Junior. He continues to attend Great Mills High school. He has excelled in music. This weekend , he goes to New Jersey to try out for the drum and bugle corp. It will last all summer. He is really excited about that.   4) We have just begun to have some cold weather. Until now, we have had sweater weather, but this week has been in the 30-40. No rain, 1 episode of light snow flurries, but they did not stick.   Well, I have gone through all the latest news, Hugs sueO
