Willy-update

Willy was stuggling alittle this week. He know that he is where he is suppose to be. He is staying positive. I think it helped to get a package from home. He was excited for it. He keeps telling us to send his GPS because he does not want to get lost, Rhubin keeps telling him the Lord is his GPS and he will not let him get lost, funny the only comment about the box was: "The GPS was missing!"Lots of prayers headed your way son!!! We are so proud of you!!!

Rhubin- Eye Troubles

Rhubin had a trip to the doctor! (no suprise, right?) Rhubin woke up and said his eye was bothering him, JoLynn found a hair in it and took it out, he went off to work, about 2 hours after being at work, his eye was swollen and watering and he could not function. He went to the doctor only to find out he had a piece of metal embedded in his eye, and it was also scratching his eyelid. After some intense work of the doctor they were able to get it out, they told him he was going to be sore for a few days, and that there was a flap that needed to heal. He ended up at home the rest of the day. He attempted to go to work on Tuesday, that did not work, so 2 days in bed with his eyes closed and ointment in it 5 times a day, he finally was getting back to normal. Saturday, March 24th, he went back for a re evaluation, he is healing up nicely. Yahoo!!!

Rhubin has a new TOY!!!





Rhubin has a new toy!!! However, I think everyone in the family loves it just about as much as he does. He sold his old gmc truck to get this. He actually came out a head in the long run with the two transactions. He is learning how to ride it seems how it has been years since he has rode a bike. Having a passanger adds to the learning as well. Looks pretty darn handsome!
