WELCOME BABY PRESTON

March the 1^st

We welcomed PRESTON GRANT WOOD

What a blessing a child is… It was an experience I wouldn’t have missed for the world. Jess, the mommy, she is a long time Friend/Sister/Inspiration and the list could go on for days. Brinkli-Her daughter, soon to be 4 in June, is my heart and soul. She could put a smile on my face no matter how bad the day was. To her I am “Maw-Maw Danielle” Why? Only she knows that… We have no clue why she started calling me that but it stuck. I never thought at 20 years old I would be a MAW-MAW but it’s the best sound coming out of her mouth. Melts my heart every time I hear it.

 Baby Preston

On my way back to Starkville around 1 AM. My hives decided they wanted to come out and play... :(
I was alone and I knew that this was a severe moment. So... By the time I got to Columbus Ms, 1 hour from Tuscaloosa where Preston was born, I stopped at the ER. Called my roommate(Sam) to come sit with me until my uncle got to me from Amory Ms. Which is also about an hour to the Hospital. Sam only had a 30 minute drive... She got to be pretty quick...

HERE ARE PICTURES FROM THE ER

YES! I was miserable... This isn't something ER doctors know much about. But at the least they could give me something for the pain and a good steroid shot. I was still taking steroids daily, since January. After 1 steroid shot, 2 pain shots, 2 epi pin shots, and medicine to take home. We were able to head home... with the orders to not drive for a couple of days. My uncle lonnie aka my other dad... took me to Starkville with pancakes (my favorite), by now it is 7 AM. And it has been one long long night! REST REST REST for the next couple of days...

Be miserable. Or motivate yourself. Whatever has to be done, it's always your choice.
