9 months old

A is 9 months old today!!! Yikes where did the time go??? Before you know it we will be celebrating 1st birthday. Until then here is the updates on our silly boy. He went through a phase where he trilled his tongue all the time, and even when he cried or fussed at us. It was pretty funny, and if I could ever get my videos uploaded you could laugh at it to. He is figuring out how to say "tttt", and sort of "kkkk", and most of all finding all the varying levels of sounds in his voice. You know it is bad when Davy has to tell him to quiet down. He is trying to walk along the couch while holding on, and even lets go with one hand and then two.....to which he falls to the floor and tries again. Bath time is still a favorite, along with swinging in the evening now that it is not to hot and mom can tolerate the heat a little better. We have his 9 mo check up Thursday so I will have weight and height stats then. Here's a not so new pic, but still cute.

Need for Prayer Warriors.

I have recently been in a touch with a woman about my age that has the same trouble with her heart that I do. If you know me then you know that I am very open about it, because I want to be able to help anyone in the same situation or educate people about it. My doctor gave this women my phone number and vice versa so that I could talk to her about the last surgery that I had on my heart. She has been having a lot of problems, and been shocked more than I (bless her heart), and was considering doing the ablation. It was such a blessing to speak with her, and swap stories about ourselves and the struggles that we have with our hearts. She has decided to have the ablation done on October 6th. Please pray for her (I don't want to put her name out there, but we will call her M). The surgery will be at St. David's hospital in Austin, and the Surgeons are Dr. Burkhardt, and Dr. Natali. Pray that she continues to have hope that this will help her. Pray that the surgery is not to uncomfortable. Pray that it doesn't last to long. Pray that the doctors and all staff in her care are compassionate. Pray that she can feel God carrying her throughout the whole procedure. Pray for......well....you know how and what to pray for!

Next Prayers
Please pray for a dear friend of ours who was diagnosed with breast cancer today. It is ironic that it is Breast Cancer awareness month isn't it?? This family has been such a blessing to us, and so faithful to God that hearing this news breaks my heart. I don't know all the details or procedures to come, but I do know that the one thing that we can do is PRAY!

There are so many other people that have been on my heart lately with situations similar to our lives and I have felt so overwhelmed in a good way to go to our Savior and petition these prayers for them. I don't have any Ah-HA moments, and don't expect to. But I know that he hears me, and will answer these prayers in his own time, and way. I have been on the side of receiving prayer, and I know how powerful that is. On that note.

Thanks!!! I have been feeling so much better with the Thyroid depressant medicine. I feel more like me than I can remember. I will see the endocrinologist next week, and will see if there is any tweaking that needs to be done on the dosage. With much love, Anne.

James 5:15
And the prayer offered in faith will make the sick person well; the Lord will raise him up. If he has sinned he will be forgiven

Psalm 86:6-7
Hear my prayer, O Lord; listen to my cry for mercy. In the day of trouble I will call to you for you will answer me.

Phil 4:6
Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving present your requests to God.
