Julie, treasure that sound of snoring! I never knew I could miss a sound so much:(

Praise the Lord!!  That is great news :)  Glad to hear David is resting well.

Hey David had complications in the stent surgery yesterday. They were going to fix the artery that was 100% blockage and 95% blockage. He opted to have stents instead of the Triple By-pass. When they got in there they could not do just one stent in that 100% blocked artery and neither could they do a by-pass. They called in another Cardiologist and the 2 decided to try a new procedure which place one stent in the artery from the front and another from the back. (Simply called one in front of the other). The heart was dead where this artery was because there was no blood flow in that area. Well, the new procedure worked (2 hrs. about 45 minute ordeal), and praise the Lord the artery started allowing to blood flow in that area. However, they have decided to let the heart rest now for 2 weeks and then he will have the other 2 stents placed. The Miracle was not that God healed him because He didn't. The miracle was that 3 Cardiologists are amazed that he had suffered no chest pains nor did he have a heart attack. He has had times of shortness of breath along with pain in the front of his neck (immediate sore throat) and some prickling on the insides of his arms down to his elbows. He would sit down and rest for some 10-15 minutes and these symptoms would leave. He simply thought he was out of shape or his machine was not working. He has had these symptoms since the beginning of this year. He thought he needed to exercise more (but could not muster up the motivation, thank God) or it was his sleep apnea machine not doing it's job. So the Miracle was the 'keeping power' of Jesus Christ in preventing him from having a heart attack all this time. Even if the 3 Cardiologists did not come right out and say it they know they have witnessed the power of One greater than they because the chances of one not having a heart attack under such duress is slim to none. Well, Rita ask me to put this testimony on the blog and so I have. Oh, he is home and resting. In fact, I hear him snoring. Ha! Julie

Hi Everyone, Looks like you guys got some snow, we were watching on the wx channel. Did anyone lose power?
How much snow did everyone get.
Shane called yesterday and said all is well in Boston, a few trees down and some water in the street but that is about all.
We are praying for you David and we put you on the church prayer list Wed. night. Please keep us posted Julie.
Alice is doing good, she has some pain in her feet and legs and gets tired easy but she is able to go to church.
Please keep us in your prayers and we will do the same.

Love and Prayers

Whoo Hoo!!

PRAISE THE LORD! He is having some trouble gettin' on up the straight stretch but I can get out the Meadow Bridge side. They sent a grader, a utility truck full of men (Blain said their job is to cut out trees and such, a second truck and a truck with a blade. If I had known they were coming I would have had a pan of cinnamon rolls waiting on them. Really!! Addy took hot chocolate to the AEP guys the other day. Hey, maybe the next time we get a big snow, I might not be the last one on the list ;)

Addy: 

What a wonderful thing to do in a snowstorm.  Could you post the recipe for your donuts and glaze and also instructions for cooking them.  It looks as if Paul is using an electric skillet.

Yes, David we are praying here, as well. And I would like to hear from Daniel and Alice too. How did Shane weather the storm up North? I thought about him. Our status ...Still snowing, Blain is still losing at dominoes! We have scraped, plowed and shoveled everything we can get to. We are glad we don't have cows to feed in this mess. When I called the DOT yesterday, they said that they hoped to open Backus today. They had to get a piece of equipment from Monroe County. We haven't seen anyone since Monday. Maybe today!!

Addy, how I wish we lived closer to each other!!!  Looks like yal had a blast :P  Janet and Matthew, why so glum?? 

We are praying for you David! How is Alice doing?  I read the blog everyday but I don't always have something to say, but I do enjoy seeing/hearing about what everyone is up to.  Love you all

David, lifted you up in prayer at Bible study at work this morning!

David, we are praying for you today!

Oh, Addy!  You are Gramma Vivian's granddaughter!  She would have loved that with all the kids!  And the smells permeating your house.  Yum, my mouth is watering!

Hey Everybody! They cleared our road so Paul and I decided to celebrate, with a homemade donut fry! We invited our neighbors, and Janet and Matthew brought the kids over. Paul and I made dinner: porkchops, fried potatoes, dumplins, and green beans. Then we had dirt cake and donuts for dessert (cinnamon-sugar and glazed!) Everybody had a good time, except the dogs. They were stuck in the bedroom the whole time.

So Monday night Mark and Mar were at home and there's a knock on the door.  Mind you this is when we were having the worst night of the storm (I think, been working it's all a blur right now :P) .  Mark answers the door and it's one of our neighbors........"Hey Mark, you got a plunger I can borrow?"  This fellow seems to have bad luck at the worst times!  We don't mind helping but it can be quite comical at times lol.  Mark invited him in so he would be out of the wind and cold.  Mark went upstairs to get our plunger (one and only...and you can imagine the horror going through my mind while he's telling me this for I don't know exactly what's in other peoples toilets, have an idea but anywho, onward we go). Mark cleans the dust off of it (hadn't been used in a while) and brought it downstairs.  I admire our friend for having the intention of returning it, however, Mark's reply....."Hey man, you can keep this, I think we have two."  Praise the Lord!!  So we now have another item on our grocery list.

I love the pics!!  Marcia, what was the deer eating?  Looks like apples maybe, couldn't tell.  That was a beautiful pic though, perfect timing for your camera!!

Ooh, me!  Me!  Me!  I spot the hound!!  I spot the hound!!  lol  Amazing how she just popped out at me :D

Wow, you Treadway bloggers have been busy lately! It rained all day yesterday in Morgantown and then overnight it turned to snow and we got a couple inches. I think it's all supposed to turn back to rain by tomorrow though. I wish I was snowed in at home in Greenbrier county with no school and potato soup!

Zac and I are doing well, just staying busy (me with school and him with work/cleaning and cooking for me =) ). We will be praying for all of the medical stuff going on with everyone. Everybody listen to your doctors and spouses!

David do as Julie says. Love you!

Wow !!!is all there is to say for the snow, you guys have already had enough snow for the winter.It is beautiful to look at but terrible to have to get out in.We only got rain and high winds and cold so far.Looks like the hounds are having the time of their life!What is with all the surgery;s is everbody starting to fall apart? :)  Keep us posted and we will be keeping you all in our prayers. As for here David is about the same, and we are all just taking one day at a time.Love you All.
