My Dad was put in the hospital late yesterday with pneumonia in one lung. He was dehydrated and extremely weak. A few bags of IV fluid later, he is doing better. We expect him to make a full recovery and be home in a few days. He is in good hands and we are all feeling really good about his prognosis.
For those of you who went to ACU, I have been following the struggle of Suzanne Catchings Motes (ACU class of '93) through this web site. Suzanne is 36 years old and the mother of a sweet 10 month old boy. Suzanne and her family got some heart wrenching news yesterday. Sometimes there are just no words. Please pray for the Catchings/Motes families.
1-2 Help, God—the bottom has fallen out of my life! Master, hear my cry for help!
Listen hard! Open your ears!
Listen to my cries for mercy.
3-4 If you, God, kept records on wrongdoings,
who would stand a chance?
As it turns out, forgiveness is your habit,
and that's why you're worshiped.
5-6 I pray to God—my life a prayer—
and wait for what he'll say and do.
My life's on the line before God, my Lord,
waiting and watching till morning,
waiting and watching till morning.
7 O Israel, wait and watch for God—
with God's arrival comes love,
with God's arrival comes generous redemption.
Psalm 130

I am so sorry about your dad! I hope he feels better soon. I have known your dad for quite some years from me working at the credit union. And then when I met your sister, we put two and two together and figured it out. He is a very sweet man!
Thansk for the comments on SOphie-she is doing much better but still a way to go I am afraid.
You should make your daddy some brownies... I'm sure you have nothing else to do, right? :)
That's a heartbreaking story about Suzanne. I will be praying.
Wow. Suzanne was my big sis in Kojies. I had no idea as we have lost touch of her condition. No words really, just praying. Glad your dad is recovering. My granny just dealt with the same.
Praying for a good recovery for your dad!

Is this the Catching's daughter from church? Such a sweet, sweet family.
Praying that God will move this mountain from her life.

Yes this is Tom and Susie Catchings youngest daughter. :)
How's your Dad doing? I hated to hear that he had to be hospitalized. Sad, sad story about Suzanne Motes.
Any updates on Suzanne that you know of?

The only updates on Suzanne I know of will come from the Caring Bridge site. At this point no news may be good news!
My Dad is still in the hospital. Even though he has not been sick long, it seems this really knocked it out of him. He is still on oxygen and IVs but we think he will be home sometime in the next few days.
Too much to do to blog today and I am having a hard time getting anything done! YIKES!
