The Sun is Coming Through

For the past couple of days it has been a monsoon in Charlotte and for this very reason little Dakota has a little stage fright of going to the bathroom outside. This morning she finally went outside I think because I held the umbrella for her to go potty. It has been pretty miserable because she has gone in the house a few times but now the sun is coming out again and we are back to a house trained sweet little beagle!!

On a less sunshiney (I know I made it up) note, my boss Martha Sue's father, Harold Hood, is in the hospital. Chris and his friends rented the house beside Mr. Hood and his wife. He went in for a routine gall bladder surgery and while they were waiting for the coordination of the OR he went into septic shock (no oxygen to the brain so your body starts to shut down). They had to intibate (insert trachea tube) and give him a sedative last Thursday. The doctors tried to gradually wake him up this weekend but there hasn't been much response. He started to open and flutter his eyes but when asked to squeeze a hand or look at you nothing happens. He is in the Trauma ICU at CMC in Charlotte. Please pray for him and for Martha Sue as she and her brothers have to make some decisions in the next couple of days. The fall session here at the swim academy due to Martha Sue's absence is going to be a tricky one for us so pray for that as well. Sorry it is such a long post but prayer warriors are needed!
