Good Morning Everyone,

Friday is finally here. The day of the week that everyone is always looking forward to so that their weekend will begin. I am grateful for fridays....but since I don't work outside of my home friday just really doesn't have the same meaning for me. We ALL have so very much to be gratefuil for in our lives. I am really grateful for my WLS and all the things it has brought to my life. I can now walk for miles and my body doesn't hurt from it and I can do other physical activities that I thought was never possible. PLEASE share with us what you are grateful for today. Have a blessed day,

Hugs and blessings ~~~ Vivian

Hi Vivian. I've been thinking about you and your son. I can only imagine how hard things are for you right now. I've had addicts in my life, too, and it took me a long time to realize that nothing I was doing could make it any better. The addict can love us to pieces, but it doesn't matter. The addiction is bigger than them and until they give the addiction's power over (either to a higher power, God, themselves, whatever), we are helpless. In any event, I will keep praying for you. Hang in there.

Today I am grateful for a smaller body that moves much easier! I can do so many more things physically than I could before. It really is liberating!

Happy Friday!

Thank you SO much for your kind words. It has been more difficult for me than I let anyone know. I don't know if my son made the right decision by walking away from Teen Challenge and not being transferred to San Antonio. I wish I knew. I do know that he is not the same young man who went into the program in August. I would be lying if I said I was not afraid that he will go back to drugs....but there again......he met his birth mom in August and saw what a lifetime of drugs did to destroy her life. In fact that is the turning point that made him decide to go into TC. I know he appears to be a strong Christian now and is putting his trust in God. BUT I would have rather seen him complete the program. I put quite a bit of money out ( for us that is ) to get him into TC and I feel almost like I at least threw half of it away. I pray that isn't the case. I just have to trust on God to see him through this and pray that he has CHANGED for good. I can't imagine how he is feeling. He was very quiet yesterday and his stomach was really torn up. I think he is even wondering if HE made a wrong choice. I'm just praying that God will give him peace in whatever decision he makes for the future. I'm also praying that God will give me peace in the situation too. It is SO hard to trust someone who you couldn't trust at all before. Thank you for the prayers. Trust me....I need all of them that I can get and so does my family. Thank you and have a blessed day !!!

Hugs and blessings ~~~ Vivian

Thank you SO much for the prayers. I know God is working in his life. In fact yesterday we talked with the director of the TC where he was at. They are encouraging him to go back and so am I. He even offered to go back and totally start over if he could stay at the facility where he was. I am encouraging him to go on where they were originally going to send him.....he would only have 6 months there. BTW...anyone reading this. He is NOT in jail but Teen Challenge for drug addiction. He is OVER the need for drugs now...but needs to complete the year long program so he will be stronger in the future when the temptation will come......and we all know that will happen. He has a GF that is a really good Christian young lady. That is where the problem lies. You can NOT have a GF in the program or at least see them if you have one. When he was out with mono he spent time with her and I was unaware that he wasn't to do that. That is why they are wanting to send him 300+ miles away from us. I really only care that he goes back and completes the program whichever he decides. He made a commitement to us, himself and to God that he would do the 12 month program and he needs to complete it. Talk about STRESS...my weight is ALL OVER THE PLACE. UGH It will get better though. Love you Dr. and have a great weekend !!!
