PRAYERS ANSWERED!

Well, I just thought that I would thank everyone who prayed for us why Koy was in the hospital. Last week Koy was placed in the Hospital for Stomatits. He ran a 103.1 fever and had probably a ruff estimate of 40 canker sores. It was so sad watching him lay there in pain screaming mommy and I couldn't do anything. They had to give him morphine for pain, an anti viral medication, and tons of fluids. He pulled is IV out twice and by the third time they where going to stick him he started drinking. He is doing so much better, THANK THE LORD! I just wanted to tell everyone Thank you so much for everything! My mom was here for the week and I didn't get to spend much time with her but it was so helpful that she was there when we got home. Koy was supper bummed though, because he was not able to go to Hud's Big Birthday Bash! He knows that he will get to play with him this weekend so he was OK after that. Hope everyone has a great week!

3 and 89

We have celebrated yet another birthday or should I say birthdays. Koy and his Great Grandpa Wayne celebrated their birthdays with a bang! Wayne was very surprised at his 89th birthday. Phillip, Koy, Rye, and I went and picked up Wayne where he thought we were going to Bobby and Donnas for dinner. Grandpa was so excited that the Giddens-George-Giddens family was in that he just couldn't wait to get out to Bob and Donna's. If you know Wayne you know that you better be where you say you are going to be, so can you can use you can only imagine what he was saying when we pulled up at the church. Phillip quick on his toes told him we where eating at the church because there wasn't enough room at Donna and Bobby's. When we wheeled Grandpa into the church he had no idea what was going on. After his eyes adjusted to the light he chatted up a storm to all of his guests. Aunt Cheryl made a wonderful DVD of the Wayne Giddens family that the guests enjoyed along with all of us to watch. We then took the celebration to the wonderful Pizza Hut in Mangum America, what a joke. We had a great waitress, Aunt Chreyl! Can you belive that they had 6 people working and Aunt Cheryl had to be our waitress. The next morning everyone said there sad goodbyes and went back to "normal" lives.

Then it was Koy's turn to celebrate a birthday! I can't believe he is already 3, it seems like yesterday that I was holding him in my arms. I am serious 3 years ago today was the first time that Phillip and I got to give Koy an actual bottle without a tube in his throat and we got to hold him in our arms.

Now that I am done being such a sab, I will continue with Koy's 3rd birthday. He was so excited that he was going to have a tractor cake that everything else didn't matter. Grammie to the rescue, she had saved some of cake for Koy's birthday from Grandpas since she is making a big one for his party. Let me tell you that women is creative! We are having his party in Amarillo this year at Chuck-E-Cheese so that my family is able to make it. Koy can't wait for another Tractor Cake from his Grammie and can't wait to see his REED Family. On the night of Koy's birthday we went out and had a little dinner with Bobby and Donna and then Koy opened his presents from them. Koy got so many clothes and a new coat which he needed and a basketball. Koy loves that basketball, he has slept with it every night. Me on the other hand had a wonderful run in with the basketball the other night. Phillip, Koy and I where watching TV and Koy and I fell asleep on the couch. Phillip woke me up so I got up and was going to go and put Koy to bed when all of the sudden I go flying in the air and suddenly crash on the floor. Yes you can call me Grace, that good ole' basketball. He loves it and that is all that matters, even if my whole right side feels like I got hit by a car. Well, I must get packing before Phillip gets home. We are going to go to Amarillo tonight to meet the Brooks family and my Dad. Can't wait to see everyone! HAPPY 2009!
