Texas Christmas
Our Christmas turned out pretty special this year, when two very special people showed up to spend a week with us, here in Texas. My Mom and Dad, Billy and Lavonne Riley, came from KY to stay Christmas week, and the kids were thrilled! We had so much fun (if only Dad hadn't gotten the flu), and yet we also had some bad things happen as well. Matt contracted an infection in a small scratch on his right pinky finger, that got so bad while out on the rig they had to fly him back to a hospital. They flew in a surgeon to do a surgery on his hand in order to save it, and kept him hospitalized for five days. All around the world saints of God were praying for my husband (thank you everyone for your prayers!), and although the doctors told him he probably wouldn't be home for Christmas, God heard my prayers and they sent him home with three days to spare! So, Matt is doing good, and while it's still not pretty to look at, the doctor says it's doing really good. Anyway, here's some pictures of the past week....enjoy!
