Jaque holding strong

Hey guys. Well, it has really been busy since we have been back home. Chris, Bo, and Toby have been working on the finishing touches for Jaque's room. It looks so great. I will try and get some pictures posted. Kelsey said "this room is the coolest ever." So, guess that is a stamp of approval.



Grandma Donna just left. She helped us out a lot. She really helped get the house back liveable. Funny how quick dust accumulates when no one lives in a house. I know that she hated to leave Jaque, but I am sure that she will be back soon. Papa Danny picked her up on Sunday. As Jaque would say "Sweet Jesus" grandma, thanks so much for everything. I am not sure she knew what she was getting her self into.

Grandma Kay will be up on Wednesday. It is so great that these wonderful ladies are giving up their time to come down here. Really -- how fortunate are Chris and I to have such wonderful parents? God has blessed us so much. I know that Jaque is really enjoying getting spoiled. Of course, out of these grandma's what else is knew?

Papa Phillip and Melinda are expected after Grandma Kay. And Uncle Lane and Lindy are coming up every weekend that they can.



Just want you all to keep praying for Jaque. She went to school 2 whole days and 2 half days last week. This week she has not gone. She has come down with what I am hoping is allergies. Coughing a lot, so please keep her in your prayers. I called her dr today to see if they had gotten her medical records and if I should bring her in. Ms. Sylvia said "Praise God that child is a blessing to be alive." How true it is. I know that God is keeping Jaque in check and making sure that she is not rushing this recovery too much. It is hard to see her sick, but I know that we are so much farther ahead than we were just a few short weeks ago.

I told her today that this is the first day since we have been home that she has spent all day in bed. That is such a big improvement from Atlanta. Eddie is doing great. He and Sassy are buddies now. They have officially swam together in the pond. They were sitting on the porch just hanging out, and the cows across the road were walking by. I guess this is the first time that Eddie has ever see a cow. It was too cute. He just kept looking at them and not really barking just kind of clearing his throat at them. Jaque and I watched them for 30 minutes. Guess he is a city dog gone country.

I wish that you would all say a special prayer tonight for Mr. Wesson's family. He was Chris's instructor at instrument school, and he was like my mentor also. When I worked at NWLA Tech I helped him with typing and grading exams. He was a great man. Full of knowledge, and character. He believed in us (Chris and I) as parents wholeheartedly. In fact, when we were in Little Rock at Children's hospital, he and his wife and Toby's parents made a trip to see Jaque. He told me after visting her that she looked so grown up. He said "Carol, God is watching over Jaque, and she will be ok. It is not going to be easy, and it is going to take patience, but she will be just fine." He said that she had grown up to be such a lovely young woman.

Yes, Mr Wesson she has. And it is people like you along the path of our lives that have made us who we are today. Thank you so much, I love you and will miss you. Rest assured that my daughter will know the man you were. Thank you for laying your hands on her and praying for her.

Thanks everyone for keeping up with Jaque's progress. You will all share in GOD's and Jaque's glory. Love you. Carol (carol.hall3@weyerhaeuser.com)
