Good morning. I am having a good day today. I am saying that first thing because I am believing that I am going to have a good day. I had a huge craving the other day and I could not help it I gave in. It was for a Dr. Pepper of all things. Instead of craving a ciggarette, I was craving a Dr. Pepper. I had to laugh and buy a Dr. Pepper.  I still have cravings sometimes for a ciggarette. It does get easier to not give in, but I think that the cravings and thougths will be there for a long time. Hubby is doing better. His kidneys are working alot better. The doctor said his numbers are not where they should be, but they are looking better.  They took him off of the vent for about 2 hours yesterday and he was on just oxygen. When  they did his blood gases they went back up, so back on the vent he went. Hopefully they can wean him off of the vent except at night like he was before he went to the hospital, but I don't think that will be for a long time. We have a long road ahead of us, but I know that with God on our side, all things can happen.  Thought for the day.....Time is a funny thing, it is gone before we know it. Slow down and enjoy a moment before it is gone.
