Odds and Ends

ODDS....

I want to start with this...

 It is the back fender of my car - Whit's dirty handprint.  A commercial the other day was advertising a mini van, and the narrator asked the question... "What does it cost to own a mini-van?"  My answer... "Pride!"  :o)  Whit was just adding his special touch to my car!... and reminding me that I need to wash it!

Doesn't this look pleasant?

That is one tired little girl after a long week last week.  

Brotherly love...

This a new way of riding a tractor... Chap sits in the seat and peddles while Whit rides on the hood!  

Ends....

We have our appointment scheduled for Whit's Meyer Center / Desmond Neonatal Follow-Up visit in July.  We have controversy within our minds and hearts about this appointment and are torn about what to do.  I visited with a lady the other day that has twins, and she advocated it, and felt it very helpful for her boys.  I am going to have a consultation with Whit's pediatrician about it, so hopefully I'll have a little more insight and a better feeling about what to do about the appointment.  

There are a few things that frustrate me...

Abortion... well, I won't go there, but just know that I DISAGREE!!  (and I get more than frustrated with that one!)

Insurance... yes, I know it keeps us healthy, but I think it gives me ulcers - which isn't all that healthy, now, is it!?!

Doctors that belittle and have the bedside manner of a stump (sorry to be so harsh, but really!)... Please pray for us as we are in the decision process of what to do with Whit and this appointment.  Three is gaining on us, where educational red flags can arise.  We want to do what is best for him, and if keeping the appointment will benefit him in the long-run, then we will go through with it.
