KIERSTEN

UPDATE!
NOTE FROM CHELSEY:

The neurologist has Kiersten under observation for the day. Giving antibiotics as a preventative just in case of infection which we won't know if she has one until the cultural results are back. So we possibly will be in ICU another night. Please pray that the doctors will find an answer but also pray for Caleb and Carleigh. They are sad for their sister. Thank you everyone for your sweet messages!



Chelsey posted on FB that Kiersten's MRI was normal but they still don't know what caused the seizures to begin with! I will keep you posted as I learn more! Thank you sweet sisters for all of your prayers, you gals are the best!

Update From Diane

Dwade is to receive more blood and his blood pressure is low. They are admitting him and scoping him again tomorrow. Still not sure about plans from there. Diane will let us know more, when she knows.
Thank you all for storming the gates! Prayer is a powerful weapon.

Prayer Request

I just received a text from Diane...they are headed back to the hospital with her brother-in-law Dwade. He is vomiting blood and her sister Deb is scared to death.
Please pray???

PLEASE PRAY

My daughter Jessica just called me and her best friend Chelsey and her family desparately need prayer! Their youngest, 10 month old Kiersten had a seizure yesterday afternoon and they took her to the hospital here in Denton. While she was there she had 2 more. They transported her to Cook's Children's Hospital down in Ft Worth where she had 6 more overnight! She is in ICU and has had Spinal Taps, she will see a Neuro-Surgeon this AM. Please pray that she has had no brain damage, that the Doctor's know what the problem is and can treat her completely. Please also pray for Chelsey, her husband Beau and their 2 other kids, Caleb & Carleigh!

O WHERE, O WHERE...

Hmmmmm....someone should be getting something in their mail soon!!

MISS APRON'S LAST DAY IN TEXAS

I didn't want to post this until we had a better prognosis for Diane's BIL.

Miss Apron had one last day with us before she got packaged up and sent off on her next adventure! Here's a photo of the lovely fire we had in the fireplace.

I turned off the lights and thought that the Christmas lights on the mantle would look better than this. Oh well!


GOOD COMFORT FOOD! Everyone knows that I am proud of my German heritage (compliments of Meine Mutti) but I am also proud of my Southern roots! My Daddy's family are from the South, mainly Alabama and so I not only grew up with Black Forest Cake but I also grew up with Chicken Fried Steak and Banana Pudding that my Daddy's Mama, my grandma made! That woman was an incredible cook as is Meine Mutti! So here is one of my favorite dinners! Chicken Fried Steak, Mashed Potatoes and Green Beans!

Sauteing chopped onions and bacon for the green beans. I buy bacon and chop up 2 slices at a time, place them in the snack size zip-loc baggies and freeze them! It's incredibly easy to have fresh bacon in your dishes by doing this! I have the potatoes on to boil. A pat of butter keeps the water from boiling over. I don't know why, only that it works!

Eye of Round Steak, trimmed and pulverized!

The meat has been dredged in seasoned flour, dipped into an egg and milk bath and then dredged once again in flour! It cooks quickly!

One of my favorite meals of all time! I don't like to fry very much but once in a while you just have to have what you want!

Miss Apron and I worked in the kitchen by prepping over 450 cookies for tomorrow's annual Christmas Bake-a-Thon. My best friend Brenda gave me this German Christmas Ornament, a baker!

Thanks for spending time with me in Texas! Now off to her next adventure!
