December 6th. .a VERY SPECIAL DAY

Rewind the clock back to December 6, 1954. On this day, a baby boy was born, Shay O'Donnell Wester, my little brother. He was born a "blue" baby as they used to call them because he obviously had a heart defect and he was not getting enough oxygen. I don't remember much about his birth, but I do remember snipits of time. I remember that he was in the hospital and we all gathered on the lawn outside his window so we could see him. At that time, unless you were 12 years old, you were not allowed past the first floor of the hospital, so we could not go to Shay's room. I also have memories of mom wrapping his legs. This helped his circulation. I also remember getting a spanking because we were in the bathtub together and I splashed him...which made him cry. If he cried, it put stress on his heart...so everything was done to minimize his crying.
Shay went into surgery in Mineapolis, MN on Sept 16, 1958. He died Sept. 29..just 13
days later.
He would have been 56 on Dec 6, 2010....

Fast Forward to Dec 6, 2010...for this is the day chosen for our family to meet Asher Stephen Flynt. What A GREAT DAY OF CELEBRATION. The Lord giveth and taketh away......December 6th is GOTCHA DAY! It will be a day of celebration for Asher's life, as well as "Shay-boy's" life...It's ironic that Shay was almost two when he went to Heaven and Asher will be two January 2nd in his forever home.

I wonder what Shay's life would have been like...that little blonde haired baby..I also wonder what Asher's life will be like...that little black haired baby....God has a plan...will enjoy watching Asher's life unfold...........................

WOOOOOPIGSOOOOIIEEEEEEE!

I have had thumb surgery to remove a SPINTER!!! Yep, a SPLINTER! Of course, the splinter was about 1/2 inch long and very close to a main nerve..therefore the surgery. It has be a real inconvience.
Mom turned 93 in June. Still living independently..she is quite a lady. In so many ways she has iron man strength, and in so many ways she is as weak as a newborn baby.
