Killers from the deep

What an incredible few days it has been.

A trip to Saraland to stay with our daughter, Jessica as she was having a surgical procedure done.

I stayed with her at the surgical ward during her surgery

I then brought her home later that day.

She was quite swollen and needed help navigating, getting medications, and ice packs round the clock.

Then came the night.

She seemed pretty well settled at 9pm so I made sure she had drink, ice packs, and medicine.

I tried to sleep, but this mama radar went off about 2am.

I went to check on her in their media room, she was attempting to sleep upright to keep down swelling.

I asked if she was okay, and she said yes.

I asked if she needed more ice and that was a yes as well.

I got her ice packs, put the used ones in the freezer.

I tried to go back to bed.

No sleep for the weary.

I read my Bible, did my devotionals, and started the day.

It was officially Archers birthday! 

  

Each birthday since my grandchildren were born, I have painted a piece for 

each of them every year on their birthday.

Archer now has quite the collection! (13 to be exact)

It started on the day he was born with a crab.

Over the years, he has gotten a lion, a gecko, a turtle, a rhino, a painting of his dog "Wolf",

a sailfish, a dolphin and turtle together, a monkey, and now Killer Whales.

He read what I wrote about them and saw my painting earlier this 100 days.

He mentioned he might want one in a sewing drawer, but his pieces are all white backgrounds.

As you can see, he was both happy and surprised.

Happy birthday Archer!
