Thank you so much for your kind words. Baby Tyler is perfect now. It was scary when it was happening, but he could not be more perfect than he is now. Thanks for asking about him.

UPDATE ON YELLOW ROSE OF TEXAS!! GOOD NEWS!!
I spoke with Rosie just a little while ago. She went to the doctor and got the staples out. They wont officially know the extent of the success of the surgery for another 6 weeks to 3 months, but she tells me that the intense pain which she has been under for the last few years has been mitigated. In fact, she stated, "Yesterday I think I turned a corner! It was like I just woke up. I have been able to notice things that I previously havent had the energy to notice." We talked about how pain does that...it makes a person more introspective and 'inward.' When a person is in pain, it is just so hard to place one's attention on outward things. So this does seem like a big notch of progress for her.
Her instructions are to STAY DOWN!! In other words, NO COMPUTER for a while. She can only sit for 20 minutes and it must be timed. So it may be a little while before we get to see her. The good news is that she is overcoming her previous temptations to push it. She is focusing on following her instructions so that she will heal properly.
Those instructions also include physical therapy 3 times per week. No driving. She will be going back for another check up appointment at the end of March.
She wanted me to report to you the opening of a door in her life. Until now, she has been pretty much in a closed down state, is how she described it, because of the fact that her legs have been so weak. She has had to make some innovations over the last several years to do the sewing and crafts that she enjoys so much. The door opening is that a local shop has offered her space and time to present her crafts. They have even asked her if she would teach. They are especially interested in the innovations she has come up with because there are other folks out there who have similar problems with their legs. She is excited because the shop is basically open to her when she is healed enough for the doctor's go ahead to resume this kind of activity. She wanted me to report this because, "I want people out there to KNOW that the Lord DOES open doors...even after a LONG time!"
She wanted me again to convey to all of you, her caring friends, that she so much appreciates the prayers and good thoughts with which you have showered her.
I have a matter that I would like to bring before you as well, if I may. My sister, who is a great and caring English teacher will be having some eye surgery at the end of this month. She is very politically incorrect! She teaches American Lit to the junior class. The first day of class she announces that she WILL be making references to the Bible because it IS the foundation of much of Western and American literature in particular. If there is objection to this, the objecting student may choose to move to another class, but after the first week, no moving around. They never leave.
I sometimes think that Rosie and she are kindred spirits, because like Rose, if it is different, it will happen to her. She will be having cataract surgery at the end of March. This is not your usual garden variety cataract surgery. As I understand it, the defect is not on the surface of the eye like you would normally see, but UNDER the lens involved. So it will be delicate, with more risk involved.
She has learned about the prayer warriors who gather here and has requested your help. She is quite concerned about the surgery because she doesnt want to lose her ability "to grade those term papers for the next several years!"
I plan to post an update on Rose's condition around that time and I will post a link here to the thread which I plan to start then for my sister. Thank you ahead of time for any prayers and good thoughts you may offer to the Lord on her behalf.
OUR FATHER,
We are gathered here together to thank you for answering so abundantly our many prayers on behalf of our Yellow Rose of Texas. We are grateful that her wound is healed cleanly and sufficiently for the staples to be removed. We are grateful that at least some of the pain from previous months has been mitigated. We do pray that the effects of the surgery will restore her to 100% functioning according to your will and plan for her. We are grateful that she is in the hands of good physical therapists and doctors and health care professionals. We continue to ask that you will guide these servants in her case and all the cases they are working on.
We thank you for guiding Rose to be diligent in following her healing instructions, for her healing affects more folks than just herself! We do ask that her healing be swift and that she can be restored to us soon. Bless her and all of her family. Father we also ask that you will protect and seal the open door of opportunity which you have provided to her in that local shop.
Father, while we are gathered in our prayer circle, we do ask that my sister will begin to be surrounded in your protection and care in these days preceding her cataract surgery. We are asking that all of her doctors and nurses and health care professionals will be overshadowed when the time comes and that the surgery will be 100% successful.
Father, while we havent heard anything recently about our sneakypete, we do remember him and ask that you will grant him your blessings. Father, we ask that you will bless all of our circle of Freepers who are needful of your help and blessing. Bless our President and our leaders. Bless our Troops. And God, please bless America.
Father, we do continue to ask that our prayers for these, your servants, will be multiplied like the loaves and fishes for the blessing of all your children who are in similar need. And finally, we do ask that it will all be done only according to thy holy will.
Amen

Great to hear about Rosie. I will also add your sister to my prayers. What is her name? or should I just say "Texokie's sister"? Hope all goes well.
Amen to your prayer.
