Update on Isaiah Buck and my world

This is an update by Mr. Buck Wednesday:
Just a brief update until Beckey can get to it.This week has been a challenge for all. Being here in Lostine I rely on Beckey's text messages and short videos. Isaiah was able to pull his trach out Tuesday and that caused some throat damage but he seems fine. Too active. Beckey and the girls have been staying with him 24 hours a day because he is so agitated. On the up side, he is coming more aware and more in control of his body. He actually moved a wheel chair by himself! We remain encouraged and are looking forward to seeing him settle down a bit. Please pray that he sleeps at night. This is our most urgent need. God has answered many prayers and we continue to put our hope and trust in Him.Archie

Hello Loved Ones: So sorry ! I have had very little time to keep you all informed of Isaiah's progress. I am working on his laundry so I thought this would be a good time for an update.Isaiah is doing much better today. He is not agitated. Partially because he was awake most of night and also because he got his trach removed. Layken stayed with him last night and she got a work out. Her brother kept her on her toes. She is sleeping soundly now.We just recieved news that Isaiah will be moved to Elks Rehab. Hospital on Wed. We are very excited about this because this means a step closer to getting our Sai home in Wallowa County. Isaiah is very determined and this has aided his recovery. Today Isaiah actually tried to shave himself with his elec. razor. He was able to pick it up and put it to his face. He is following verbal directions a little better each day.And that is how we live. We labor today and let God prepare us for tomorrow.
So that is the latest on isaiah...and you can read updates at http://www.caringbridge.org/visit/isaiahbuck/journal

Racheal...if you read this I just wanted to tell you thank you so much for the loving care the staff gave our Isaiah! You can't ever imagine how much you are all appreciated! Many hugs to all of you...we are forever grateful.

Now for my life.................Sarah is here! Crazy times, giggly girls. She is here for the school ball, which is tomorrow night! Oh Aunt Tammy, how I wish you could be here to foo foo up these girls! Such a special night for them! Sarah is 6'1", very tall. Ashley is 5'1". So Sarah walks beside Ashley and just pats her on the head. They are so funny. But the ball will be a very important night for all of the kids, especially in light of what has happened to Isaiah. This has been a life changing experience for all of them. Some time I need to make plans to take the girls over to see Isaiah.
I also purchased a new camera..a Nikon D40! It is a digital SLR and very complicated, but I am determined to get it figured out, since I will be paying on it the rest of my mortal life. I think I need a hobby, and photography seems like just the thing! Oh how I would love to have a studio and take photos of little girls dressed up having tea parties!
I look forward to a quiet evening alone tonight as the girls will be decorating for the ball. I might even get to watch Bones! I love that show!
