Update on Sissy

I got to see Sissy at the 3:00 visitation today. She was in a lot of pain and having a hard time breathing. She was coherent and talking to me and the kids. Her Oxygen level was dropping lower than they wanted so they were having to talk to her and tell her to take deep breaths in to get the oxygen in. She is still in SICU due to the fluid. They are waiting on it to lower so they can move her to a room. I told her everyone was sending hugs and get well wishes. Right before we left they had given her pain medication and it knocked her out. I will post again when I get an update.

Lots of love,
Renee

Update on Sissy

Hello everyone,

Sissy (Cindy-my sister for those who don't know all of my family) had surgery (quadruple bypass, I believe) today. She came through ok and is in SICU at Park Ridge. I haven't been down yet, but wanted everyone to know the surgery went well. Doctors said there was no muscle damage and her kidneys looked good. Her blood sugar is really good...118. So, she will stay in ICU until tomorrow (hopefully) and then go to a room for a few days.

Until next update...........

Lots of love,
Renee

Here we go again....

Just a note to let everyone know that Cindy is in the hospital at Park Ridge MICU. From what we know, she had a heart attack yesterday. I don't know a lot of details, but they are having to do surgery (quadruple, I believe, bypass). So, when I hear news I will post it just like before.

Love,
Renee

Great info for everyone to read!

Hello everyone! I have officially started my picture taking for Heritage Middle School 2008-2009 school year. I absolutely LOVE taking pictures for school. We've had 2 football events this week and I have posted pictures on my smugmug web page at:

http://rintinzpassion.smugmug.com/

However, the most important thing about the first football game pictures is that it was Bre's 1st time to play at a game in the band. She did a GREAT job and loved it! In this picture, she is on the left hand side, end clarinet. :0)

Jordan's newest information and update is he joined DECA at the high school. DECA stands for Delta Epsilon Chi Association (I believe that is what the "A" is for). Anyway, you can go to www.deca.org to learn more about what it is. He is excited to be in it. Also, he is this year's swim team manager with Coach List (she was his home bound teacher when we returned from Atlanta in '06). So, he is LOVING high school and is doing very well so far.



Until next time............

Lots of love,
Renee

Hello Everyone

Hello everyone,
We are still here. We are busy and making it through each day. We are 7 days into this school year and it is very busy already. Jordan started full days this past Wednesday and he LOVES it! He is riding the bus to and from school. So, he thinks he is just Mr. Big Man on campus. :0)

Bre is loving her teachers. She does have her first football game this coming Tuesday. She will be in the stands with the band. She is "Pep Band" this year. She can not wait! We still need help with her getting money. We are no where close to getting it. I have to make time to go and do the couple of jobs that we have waiting. Please keep us in your prayers for that one.

Mark and I are working and keeping busy. A tidbit of news for my husband and his new position................
He was told yesterday by his manager (which is in Kansas for a meeting right now) that the Sam's Bakery in Chattanooga was the #1 in cookie sales over the company. GO HONEY, GO HONEY, GO HONEY! I told him I was very proud of him and the ladies he has working with him. So, just wanted to share. We love everyone and will post more later when I have time. I am still playing catch up with school work.

Until next time...........

Lots of love,
Renee

August Update

Hello everyone! I hope everyone is well and having blessed days. Ours have been long and busy. I go back to work tomorrow.........YAY!!! Which as most everyone knows, when school starts--I go back to work. For those who don't know, I am NOT going to the high school with Jordan. I am filling a parapro position with a 6th grader this year. I am very excited, but very nervous as well. This will be the first child (outside of Jordan) that I have been assigned to. Jordan is excited about starting school, but we don't have a parapro for him. That means he is going to have to be a little more responsible and remember more than normal until they can get one for him.


When he starts tomorrow he will only be going until 12:00 and will be riding a bus home. This is for his benefit. He has a hard time with transitions and learning new routines. So, for a few weeks (if that long) he will only have 2 classes. On the other hand, Bre is excited and a little upset about school. Her best friend and her are on different teams, which means she won't get to see her during the day. Otherwise, she is excited because of band and the activities she is getting to do. She still needs to do work for her money. She still needs to earn $400. Of course, there is a job that her Aunt Betty has for her, but I haven't had a chance to get her over there. Momma is a little busy these days. We haven't forgotten about you Aunt Bett!


As for Mark and I, we are kicking. :) He stays very busy with his new position and asks for prayer that he learns it and learns it fast. Me? I am doing school, working, and getting to do my first photo shoot in November (a car show). If you have time, stop over and check out my new site:

If it doesn't link here, there is a link at the top right of this page.

The last thing is we head to Marietta on the 11th, please keep us in your prayers.

Until next time.......

Lots of love,
Renee
