Grandma & Elvis

My mom sent me this picture last night that she had received from her sister. At the assisted living facility where my grandmother now lives, they have little picnics and socials for all the residents. At one of these events over the summer Elvis came and performed. I just love the look on Grandma's face as Elvis is singing to her. The woman next to her thought it was pretty funny!

Update on Dad:

Dad had is check up from his surgery yesterday. It went great and the best news is he is cancer free!!!! They got all of it during his surgery!!!! Yippeeee!!! God is great! Thank you to everyone for your prayers. We are taking Emma to see her Papa and Mimi for Thanksgiving and I cannot wait to see him. It was very hard for me to stay here while he was having his surgery.

Update on Emma:

I would love to be able to tell you that Emma is better and well on the road to recovery. But, unfortuately, I cannot. After we took her off the first medicine that she was given due to her resemblence to a demon child, she seemed to be improving. Then on Tuesday, I get a call from the school that they think she has pink eye in both eyes. So I go get her and she looks awful - besides her pink eyes, her cheeks are splotchy and beat red. I take her back to the doctor. It was not pink eye, but just her sinuses congested due to allergies. So they put her on a new medicine. Yesterday, I get another call from the school. She is coughing so bad that she can't lay down and go to sleep. The new medicine does not have a cough medine in it. I take her some cough medicine and come back to work. Last night she is still coughing so we gave her some more and off to bed she went. We could hear her coughing and coughing and coughing and coughing and I was starting to get really worried. Then I heard the gurgling...................I go running down the hall to check on her and sure enough, she had been sick..........and proceeded to be sick a few more times. Oh the fun in the Hill house! Needless to say, I did not get a lot of sleep and once again, I am waiting to hear from the doctor. I really hope they will just call something in. I am getting really tired of taking her in. I still do not think that all of this is due to her allergies, but, I didn't go to medical school. We are supposed to have her Christmas pictures done tomorrow so I am praying that she improves by morning.

Poor Emma! I'm sorry she's still so sick! My Grace did the same thing about a month ago and it is just miserable to see her feeling soo bad. We finally got her cleared up and her cough under control with an inhaler, but boy was it a long road to feeling better!

So sorry about Miss Emma. Yep I think it sounds like something more myself! Prayerfully soon she will get better and you can get some sleep!
Great news about your dad! I'm so happy to hear that.

You may need to take Emma to an allergist but I think you have to get pediatric recommendations??? It sounds to me like she's suffering from the fun KY allergies--poor baby.

So happy about your dad, and based on the pics of little Miss Emma, she looks great! She's such a cutie. I'll have to find and post my Elvis pic some day. Random fact about me: I love Elvis impersonators!
