Thank you for the prayers

Thanks to everyone for their prayers.
He has no bleeding in the brain or stomach so that is good news. They still don't know where the bleeding is and his kidney function is still worsening but he will be seen by a kidney specialist later this week. It is amazing but he still looks healthy!

My Hubby is Very Sick

A few weeks ago my husband started having some mild stomach pain and some nausea.
After 5 Dr. office visits and an ER visit he was admitted to the hospital yesterday.
He takes a blood thinner and they now think he may be bleeding in his stomach and possibly his brain. His kidney function is also deteriorating. A ct scan of his head was done last night but I do not know the results yet. They are going to do an ultrasound of his kidneys today and also a scope to his stomach.
Please keep us in your prayers.

I am writing a book about Anna...

my ggg grandmother Anna that is. As many of you know I have done a lot of geneaology research and this pioneer grandmother has fascinated me the most. She was born in olde Virginia to families that were among the earliest settler's there. She bore many children and endured many hardships and when she was in her 70's she traveled by covered wagon to live in Indian Territory. I guess this book will be considered historical fiction as I have accurate dates of events but of course not being there I had to try to fill in the details so that will be the fictional part. The picture shows how I want the cover to look but.. I have discovered that having a book published is not as easy as I though it would be so the cover may change by the time it is published.

I am currently on chapter 13 and have no idea how many more chapters there will be.

I am hoping to have it finished soon as I think this book would make a great Christmas present for those that love the pioneer/ priairie look and lifestyle and enjoys reading about that era.

Stay tuned- hopefully it will be a finished book soon!!
