  1. Hello to all !!! Alot of you have been asking how I a doing well I am ding ALoT better than I ever expected of course I am very swelled an sore. I also had hernia repair. I am taking my pain meds also. But I have something else to say we are certified foster parents an tonight I got a call for a placement of a 10 ur old girl . Knowing how much pain I was in I was reluctant at first to take her but we recently adopted an 8 yr old an thought this would help my Lil girl also for a playmate so we said yes !! I'm not saying this to get praise but I just wanted to share how when you are at your worse an unsure what's next. God sent joy to a little girl tonight an our family as well knowing she is safe now . Thanks to everyone for your concern I mean this from the bottom if my heart
