hoops

Today was a much better day. Busy but better. A solid night's rest did everyone some good.

Hunter was a little more enjoyable today. He had an occasional scowl but perked up for Great Papa and for me a few times. I'm so very thankful for Hunter...even when he is growly. I am extra, extra thankful for him when he is happy and obedient though :)

The H mas has been into basketball lately. We bought him this hoop from good ol' Walmart and he absolutely loves it. He takes his basketball to bed with him and says over and over again, "Bass-kit bawl, nigh night" so that we don't forget. When he wakes up he immediately starts saying, "Bass-kit! Bass-kit!" (meaning he wants to go downstairs and shoot a basket). It's pretty funny. And kinda cute :)

Here are some pics of his new favorite thing...

He shoots...





and he scoooooores!!




Wow. I think I just got a glimpse of him as a teenager.

Update on Gramps...
Great Papa had lots of tests done today. He has quite a few compression fractures in his back, which are causing him a great deal of pain. He also has an aneurysm in his aorta that the Doctor is very worried about. It could likely rupture at any moment but the surgery to fix it may be too risky. He also has a heart murmur and dangerously low sodium levels. Much to pray for. He has been able to keep his sense of humor but is exhausted from the pain and all the transportation today. Please pray he gets a good night's sleep in the hospital tonight.
