Weekend in Springfield and Update on Nannie

Last weekend, my mom and I took my grandmother to my aunt's house in Springfield, Missouri.  We had a great time of just laying around and visiting.  On Saturday, my 2nd cousin Kayla was dancing in the Ozark City Christmas Parade, so we bundled up and headed downtown to watch the parade.  I thought I had enough warm clothes, but it got really cold as soon as the sun went down, so about half-way through the parade, I sat in the car.

Here's my aunt and mother.  They are a mess! 

Once again, Aunt Debbie...we told her she looks like a homeless person here. 

They had lots of old cars in the parade. 

This is another one of my 2nd cousins, Grace.  She is really funny and at a cute age.  We had fun teasing with her. 

Here's me and my two cousins, Shannon and Michelle.  Michelle and I are two months apart in age, and we had the best time growing up.  We would just giggle and laugh!  It was so good to see these girls again. 

Here's Shannon's little boy, Landon.  He is a mess! 

Not sure you can pick her out, but Kayla's in this group dancing. She's an awesome dancer, and is also about 6 ft. tall!  

Luckily we were close to a bathroom, cause this preggers girl had to go! 

My Nannie didn't get to come to the parade because she had a bad cough and didn't want to get out in the cold.  She was seeming to get better, but after we left, her cough got worse, and they had to take her to the ER.  She had a stroke back in September that affected her speech, but she had recovered from that and we thought was doing better except for some blood thinning issues.  The doctors originally though she had pneumonia, but after another scan, they found a mass in her lungs.  They did a biopsy, and results will be in on Monday.  The doctors suspect lymphoma, but they are not 100% sure yet.  My parents went back to Springfield on Wednesday, and she got to come home from the hospital on Thursday, so we're just waiting to see what happens.  

We are praying for good news and knows that the Great Physician has his hand in this situation. Please take a few minutes to pray for our family and my Nannie's miraculous healing.
