***Libby UPDATE***
She has some type of infection. They admitted her and will watch her for 48 hours. She was neg for H1N1, but they are watching her closely. Gracie's phone was about to die when she was texting me, and she forgot her charger, so I don't know how easily it will be for her to contact me.
****Will post more when I hear something****Thanks for praying.
It has been one of those days around here....yep....a day that doesn't go how you expect it to go. I haven't shared on here that we have our house on the market...realized that today when I got a lot of response and SHOCK on Facebook when I made a post regarding a showing....ooops! details...details... We have had our house on the market since August. We have had showings, but ZERO showings in the past 5 weeks. Today I had TWO!!!! Should I put on the flyer that I am having a baby in less than 3 weeks???? This kind of thing is the story of my life! Anyway, along with no showings lately and the fact that I am bigger than a barn, I have let things go around here....seriously! So today, I had to pull off a modern day miracle! I did months worth of of housework in 3 short hours! My wonderful husband is the laundry folder around here. He folds like what you would see at a GAP store...it is awesome! Anyway, last night I had a fun dinner with two close friends so he had encouraged me to get lots of laundry DONE yesterday so that he could get it all folded last night. I did my part...three loads washed and dried and DUMPED and ready for folding....well, I returned last night LATE to a dark house, and my dumped laundry. He had an exhausting day and had chosen to spend time with the kids instead of folding laundry and then he went to bed after getting them to bed....which was all okay by me...until I got the 7:45 phone call this morning scheduling a showing!!!!! YIKES! I called him, got some encouragement and started working like a mad woman! He encouraged me to have someone watch Reagan, but I didn't feel right to dump her on someone so last minute...well, that was until she dropped a full container of bubbles onto my kitchen floor....I gave Gracie a call to ask if Reagan could do a ride-along to Libby's school this morning for her drop-off. That would buy me an hour. Gracie, who is a lot like me with things like this, said sure, not a problem...no big deal that it was time for her to leave right then, she had to give Libby food AND get herself dressed. She quickly got them ready and headed over her and picked up my girl! Reagan was thrilled, Libby was thrilled to have "Sissy" come along to school and I was MORE than thrilled. Thank you God for friends! So back to work for me....got it done....left just in time as the clients were pulling in the drive...AHHH...a MAN without a woman with him...no white glove inspection today! Plus, he went straight for the backyard! I ran to pick up Reagan at Gracie's house...she was having a blast and had gotten to get a donut and chocolate milk after dropping Libby off at school! Needless to say, she wasn't quiet ready to go home! I visited for bit, and headed home, only to receive another call for another showing!!!! So, it has been an adventurous day, I am exhausted, and plan to go to bed SOON!!!!!
Switching Gears....I received a text from Gracie a couple of hours ago, and I FELL apart...maybe because of pregnancy hormones, maybe because I am exhausted, maybe because I am stressed a bit, maybe because I am worried, maybe because of all of the above! Gracie was on her way to the ER in Dallas. Libby has fever, low oxygen sats, and a high heart rate! (all not good for Lib!) With Libby's condition she has NO reserve. Illness is very scary for her. Fever is bad. My kids were in the car with me when I got the text. They saw me sad, and I had to tell them that she was headed to the hospital. I guess that they had talked about it on the way home from school (they carpool together). Mason had told Whitney that Libby was purple and that she could die from being sick. Blayne was talking about her being sick and that she has a little heart....I just cried. Sometimes reality sucks! (that is such a tacky word, but that is how I feel right now) Anyway, I am so reminded how quickly things can change....I was JUST talking and laughing with Libby THIS morning. She was soooo happy to have Reagan sitting next to her in the car. I called one of the dwarfs in her book by the wrong name and she was trying to give me clues as to who it was, she was showing off her silver sparkly shoes and smiling...smiling her Libby full face smile. Things can change so quickly for her. Please pray for Libby tonight. Pray for wisdom for all that see her, pray for protection for her from H1N1 (she did get vaccinated---last week, I think it was). Pray for Gracie, and I am sure that this is very scary, especially KNOWING that her valve is leaky and not functioning well. Pray for the boys (Mason and Camden) that they will feel peace right now. They both have mentioned to me that they are concerned the Libby is going to get the Swine Flu (they both had it a few weeks ago). They are cautious and understand that her getting sick is very bad, and they really try hard to protect her as good brothers should! Gracie is supposed to keep me posted. I will update when I know something! For now, pray.

Definitely praying!
You should have called me to help with Reagan today! We weren't doing anything, so she could have spent the day with us. Don't forget about your other Keller friends on days like this! Do you want me to come get her tomorrow so you can relax or catch up on other things or help Gracie in some way?
