Beck trying to grab Daddy's bubble gum
eating, because that's about all it seems he does these days...
morning after tent sleeping...
It has been a very long two weeks in the Alcorn house. The following is a snip it of what life has been, and trust me, this doesn't even begin to touch on all of the chaos going on right now: My dad was in the e.r. twice last week and come to find out he has a kidney stone, something we know well since J has been battling w/ them for years now. After discovering the stone was impassable, he met with a urologist to discuss surgery options. While looking over his C.T. scans, they found that he has a potentially life threatening aneurysm right next to the stone which could or could not be a major issue, but since the stone couldn't be removed until the aneurysm was further evaluated, my dad had to meet with an artery specialist, all the while in intense pain and on hard core pain meds due to the stone. Praise the LORD! The aneurysm was looked at by a specialist who said it isn't that big of a deal, that the stone could be removed and that they would deal with the aneurysm issue in December (they want to see if it is growing in size or not). So...my dad has surgery today to remove his stone. Issue #2, Jason calls me Monday morning, saying he's on his way home from work, he thinks he's going to pass the kidney stone he has had for months that has caused no issues whatsoever (we were planning on dealing w/ this stone after vacation in three weeks). Long story short, he ends up in the E.R. and scheduled a surgery the next day. Turns out the stone got lodged while he was passing it and due to the irregular shape, there was no way it was coming out. Add on top of that a sick dog, with bloody diarrhea, a 9 month old with three days of a 102 temp, followed by an all over body rash, and, well...you're starting to get the idea. With all we have gone through with the eye issues, we were really hoping to catch a break soon. It appears we'll have to wait a while longer. I keep telling myself, "Thank God for the rain, because without it, the rainbow would not be." Some random pics from over the last two weeks. J promised Ky a tent sleepover after her eye apt. and the starting of the patch wearing, but due to the rain, the tent got moved in our living room. So here's to tough times, being tested, and knowing that He is there for us in good times and bad.
