HALLOWEEN

It's been a few days and I wanted to get these pictures posted before now but I just haven't found the time. We had a great Halloween. Syd had a ballgame Friday night so that cut our Trick or Treating short but Payton still had a good time. We went to a Festival the community was having here in Conestee which had Trunk or Treating and face painting, Food and the Big Jump Houses. Then we went to one of the area churches for some more Trunk or Treat. Payton got a huge bag full of candy. We then left and went to Asheville to watch Erwin High School vs. Roberson High School. Erwin won so now they will continue to the beginning of the playoffs. We brought Syd back home with us and its always so good having him back home. Payton and Syd argue alot but I guess most brothers do. It's just like nothing has changed when Syd is here....the boys continue right where they left off and it is mostly over video games. Life without video games.....Does anyone remember those days? Aaaaahh.....those were some good times.

Payton also has a playoff game Monday night. If the Hurricanes win then we will continue to play but if they lose then our season has come to a end. To be honest, I am ready. Now a little info on Mike's back. He was unable to have his MRI on Thursday because someone made a error in the scheduling. They needed to have scheduled a Contrast MRI which includes having the dye but they didn't so he shows up and they inform him the doctor is not there which he needs to be if they are doing this type of MRI so they reschedule him for Wednesday morning. I really don't know how long it will take before we hear what this shows but he is really having a horrible time with his back. In the past, he could rest and take the meds and he would recover pretty well...at least to the point to be fairly functionable. This time has been different though. He's not recovering and is still struggling daily. I pray that from this week forward things can start moving pretty fast so we can get him well. Whatever we must do whether it's surgery, therapy or something else....we are ready to get this over with.
