Jaques nick name

Jaque as you know I have been working at hospital every since I got home from visiting you.

Grandpa Larry did take me out for Valentines dinner. We had a great time.

I got stuck at the hospital because of the weather, so I'm sorry I haven't kept up your blog. Guess what I came home tonight just so I could update everyone about your progress.

I have to go back in the morning for my last double shift then on Tuesday I only have to work a day shift yea!!!!!!

I can't wait to get back to you this week. I leave on Thursday. I hear you want me to cook some more good stuff for you.

I am so proud of you. You look great in the picture you sent me. Keep up the good work. I will be there before you know it.

The following is an update from Chris, Carol and Jaque. Hope everyone enjoys the update.

Remember Jaque has a new phone and she can recieve texts on it, also her email. Jaqueshomeplate8@yahoo.com When she sends you an email it comes with my name on it like it is coming from me but it is not. When yahoo shut me down at the begining I had to set her up with a new email using my name but her address. So the email is coming from her. Her new phone number is 1-870-648-9229. Jaque loves to hear from everyone.

Keep praying for her. She is looking forward to seeing everyone soon.


Yes, I said Sporty Spice. That is the new nick name that Jana, Jenny, and Angel (her theraphist) have given Jaque. "Go hard, or go home?" For all of you that know our family, you all know that Jaque has heard this many times. Many times.

Today she is having a tough time with her blood pressure. She is pushing her body harder than it wants to go ... it is saying take a nap, and she is saying "BOW UP AND GET IT DONE." You may or may not know that with low blood pressure, you are tired and somewhat sick at your tummy. So, she is battling that today. One of her therapist told her to call it a morning at 11:30 am and she told me she just asked them to prop her legs up a minute to see if that will help. At lunch I asked her if she was feeling any better, and she said she was not, but had to work herself through it. She is pushing hard to get home to Haworth for a weekend sometime soon.

Of all of the things I could say about Jaque, she is not a person to quit. She is fearless, determined, and very much missing everyone from home. As she fights her daily battles -- she still makes me look like a wimp. And yes, her guns may be small -- but they are making a comeback. She has already asked to be put on a machine that will work out her legs, but they tell her to slow down, that she is not ready for that quite yet.

She said mom, you know how I am pitching when it is hot. She said so hot you just want to give up. She said she did not give up then, and is not going to give up now. She told me her girls (meaning the softball and basketball teams) are counting on her to give 110%, and she is going to give 120% for them.

She has met many people here, one is Joseph. Joseph was involved in an accident 2 weeks after his 16th birthday. His sister is a 11 year old pitcher. Fate, huh? Jaque told her to bring her glove and she would teach her a killer curve next time she comes. Then she has a new friend named Adam. Adam was actually pronounced DOA the night of his accident at the hospital more than two months ago, and stood in church last week on his own. And last but not least Kelli. She is a pretty young girl who is working very hard on her upper body right now. Jaque rec'd a blanet from her friend Katie (Viper chick), and Kelli has the exact same blanket. What are the odds???

One thing we all have in common is our faith. I wanted you all to know that through you, or faith grows daily. When we have a rough day I can lay down at night and know that there are SO many of you pulling for my little angel.

Most of you know that she finally got a replacement for her phone, and is burning the texting from here to there. If you do not have the number, call me or Chris and we will get it to you. If you are texting her for the first time, make sure you add who you are, she lost all of her numbers.

"For God will restore Health unto Jaque and he will heal her of her wounds." Jer 30:17

Good luck to all the McCurtain County Teams during districts. Play hard and Play safe. We love you all, and a special "Make Cake" to those lady lions!!!

Love you all Carol (and Jaq)
