Choo Choo Train

We took a trip to Boone this weekend to ride the train. It is a scenic train. We love to go in the fall and see all the trees changing and the fall air. We had a great time. Braxton loved the train. He is still talking about the train. They have a special Thomas weekend in the Spring - I think we will try to make it. Here are some pictures from our trip.

This is a picture of the passenger car.

This was a play car that they had for the kids to get in. Braxton loved it.

On another note, my grandmother Zant is not doing well. She had surgery on Wednesday and it seemed to go well. She lost some blood during surgery but recovered and went home. She has not been able to hold food down and has not been feeling well. Yesterday afternoon she was not well so she went to the ER in Greenville. She had a really low temp and her blood pressure was also really low. After 6 hours of trying to stabilize her they put her on a care flight to Dallas. She got there about 11 pm and they worked for a while. They got her stable enough to do surgery at 1:30. There were a rough couple of hours but she seems to have pulled through. The surgery last night was to stop the bleeding inside her body they had to give her 5 pints of blood last night. She is still in ICU and will be there for at least a couple of more days. She really could use some prayers right now. She is a fighter and is working hard. They took her off of the dopamine (sp) this morning and she is starting to open her eyes some. During all of this her kidneys shut down. They are starting to make a come back. They said it will be some time before we know what kind of damage was done to the major organs (heart, liver, kidneys, etc. ). Please pray for June Zant and her recovery. Also a prayer for her husband (Dudley) and kids (Rick, Pam, Craig, and Jeanne) as they have had a long night and are looking at a long couple of days ahead. Thanks for the prayers I will keep you updated on her progress.
