Your prayers are needed. Some of you know that Chris (Christina's dad) had surgery to remove a kidney about 7 or 8 years ago.
Since that time he has been struggling with an addiction to the pain pills. Long story short, last year he got off the pain pills, but turned to alcohol instead. He has been in rehab several times, the last one this past summer. In Dec he was doing well, but fell off the wagon in January. It has been downhill for him since. He is now in the hospital in Full Renal Failure. His one kidney that he has left has failed him. His liver and pancreas has failed as well. He has been in ICU at John C. Lincoln since early Wed morning. They are doing dialysis on his kidney, and bringing in a cardiologist as well, since he is not improving.
I'm asking everyone to please send him your prayers and positive energies. He and his family really need them right now. So does Christina. She is having a hard time accepting this, and understanding what and why this is happening.

Its still cold out! Last night it got into the 20's!! Freeway normally loves being outside. But I no sooner let her out, before she realized it was cold and windy. She's pleading with me to let her back in. 
I did of course, and then fed all 5 a treat that I got FREE in the mail from the surveys I do.
Caleb was playing with his space shuttles and came up with the idea of using his baseball popup toy to shoot the rockets into space. How clever! 
The boys are getting old enough for some chores, and Zachary likes to vacuum, so he vacuums their playroom while Caleb holds the cord out of the way. Teamwork!!
Sunday night we had a small Super Bowl Party. We had our friends Diane & Al over, and Christina had about 8 of her friends over. We had a nice time until the end. Poor Cardinals.
Notice my kitty sitting in Diane's lap. He loves to sit on companies laps. Gramma Ann will have to SHOO him away! Diane knew how much Caleb loved her chocolate cake she had for Al's birthday, so she made sure the cake she brought had chocolate.
The Pinewood Derby is this weekend. The boys gave the car one more coat of white paint, and Zachary wants me to paint it like Jeff Gordon's Car. But with the number 21 for his birthday.
I will try and post updates on my blog about Chris and his recovery.
