Happy 4th of July!

Wow, hard to believe it's already July 4th!  Some days feel like they can never end, yet when you realize that we're already half way into the year.....Wow!

It's very hot in Texas this time of year, so we're very thankful for our pool.  Hate to admit, that I'm not able to sit out there like I used to.  In the past I could lay in the pool for hours and play with the kids, but now, it's about an hour and I'm ready to sit my bottom in the air conditioned house, than in the pool.  I don't want to blame it on age, but will use my illness to cover it up.

Speaking of illness, I'm hanging in there.  Some days are really good, no nausea, no spasms, and food is good, but unfortunately I'm still having those days where life is pretty tough. I'm trying  different medicine concoctions to see if any improvements can be made.  Unfortunately, Gastric Dumping Syndrome will not correct it's self, so hopefully we can figure out meds to help, or we may have to defer to surgery.  But, as I've told them from the start, I'm not physically or emotionally ready for another surgery.  So...here we are, in a trial and error mode.  I'm thanking God for the good days, though.

I do have couple prayer request, one for my Mom.  She is still battling her Pneumonia, she is gaining some strength, but I know this took more out of her than she will admit.  My other prayer request is for our daughter Kaitlyn.  She was in the ER last about a week and half ago for what they're calling a ruptured Ovarian cyst, and Mecenteric Adenitis (inflammation of pelvic lymph nodes).  She's only 14 years old, and my prayer is that this will not be an ongoing problem.  She's in the process of follow up Dr. appointments, so we hope to have more answers in the next few days.  Yes, there is not a dull moment in the Zeigler house hold.

We hope you are all doing well, and will have a wonderful 4th of July!  Thank you to all those in the service who fight for our freedom everyday!!  God Bless America!!
