Song of Hope by Robbie Seay Band

All things bright and beautiful You are
All things wise and wonderful You are
In my darkest night, You brighten up the skies
A song will rise

I will sing a song of hope
Sing along
God of heaven come down
Heaven come down
Just to know that You are near is enough
God of heaven come down, heaven come down

All things new
I can start again
Creator, God
Calling me Your friend
Sing praise, my soul
To the Maker of the skies
A song will rise

I will sing a song of hope
Sing along
God of heaven come down
Heaven come down
Just to know You and be loved is enough
God of heaven come down, heaven come down

Hallelujah, sing
Hallelujah, sing
Hallelujah, sing

Praise from the accident

I praise God for all He has given us over the past week. Here is a list...

• He protected Mom and Dad.
• He gave us our tax money to purchase needed things and be able to get back and forth from the hospital.
• He gave us the strength to continue moving even when we thought we couldn't do anymore.
• He has given many people who have given us their thoughts and prayers.
• He is healing my Mom and Dad.
• He has healed my relationship with my Mom.
• He gave us all safety as we traveled the 1+ hours back and forth to the hospital.
• He gave us a great vet that would see Augge when we needed to.
• He gave us wonderful employers that gave us the time off we needed.
• He has held us in His arms.

What a week!

It has been quite a week and one I definitely DO NOT want to repeat...ever!

Dustin's parents were in a motorcycle accident a week ago today. Praise the Lord because they are both alive and well. However, they have a long haul ahead of them. Mom was treated and released from the hospital about 5 hours after the accident. We had called friends to get her and bring her to the hospital where Dad was airlifted. Mom has a road rash and a lot of bumps and bruises. She also found out she has a broken rib. Dad has 2 broken collar bones, 8-9 broken ribs, 2 punctured lungs (one chest tube draining blood and fluid, all better now), a torn spleen that healed itself. Mom went back to the hospital Sunday morning and did not leave until Wednesday when they both came home. It is amazing that after such a terrible accident Dad is home so soon! They are still having a lot of pain but they are home and well.

A car turned in front of them when they were going about 50 MPH. Dad tried his best to stop safely but the bike wobbled and went into a skid. He was thrown from the bike and landed face down in the middle of the road. Mom somersaulted down the road with the bike. It was their third ride on his brand new Harley.

It has been a very stressful, emotional and tiring week. Dustin and I are battling sickness right now. We are finally home, together for more than 15 minutes without sleeping.

Augge also had some problems this week. When I got home he was shaking his head and scratching his ears a lot! Tuesday morning when I checked him he had to big lumps on his ears. I assumed he was bitten because that is what happens since he is allergic to bees so I have him a Benedryl. He continued to shake and scratch so Tuesday night off the the vet's we went. The vet thought he might have ruptured blood vessels and could possibly have surgery. However, he agreed Augge was bitten so he got a shot. He then looked inside the ears and found an ear infection. We had a really hard time getting his ears cleaned out and medicine put in because of the pain he was experiencing. Poor baby cried off and on and always when I out medicine in his ears for the next few days. He also was quite drowsy and out of it due to the shot for his bites. He is much better now. He still does not appreciate me putting medicine in his ears twice a day but he is better since it does not hurt as bad.

I am glad this week is over!
