A Little Humor

REDNECK FIRE ALARM



2009 Drawing to a close...a few musings.

With only a week and 1 day left until Christmas, 2009 is drawing to a close. It's been a really crazy year for those of us in the Croom house.

We've been through Brendon's heart scare(s). Cassy has had a baby....My sweet, beautiful, wonderful grandson, Caiden. Bob has been diagnosed with Hodgkin's Lymphoma and begun treatments for that.

Emotionally we've been through a lot....but, we are still all here, hanging in there, falling down and helping each other up, but surviving and trusting in God, ourselves and each other to make it through all of the craziness.

We want to thank our friends and family, our co-workers and even the complete strangers that have stepped forward to assist us in various ways.

The people who have been kind enough to drop off a box of food, or send a few dollars to help with gas, the people who have called and offered to come take the kids to activities or take Bob to a treatment. The people who came out to the benefit's and spent their money to help a family that in some cases, they didn't even know. The people who helped plan and organize and donated their time for the benefit's. We thank you all! Everything that was done we appreciate more than we can possibly express.

God Bless.

G-Man

Gaven has joined wrestling and during practice on Wednesday night fell on the stairs while running laps in the school and sprained his ankle. Doctor has him in a partial cast and off his foot completely for 1 week...needless to say he's going to miss his 1st match and he is not so happy about that!

Thanks






































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































Thanks to all the people who came out to the benefits; we really enjoyed seeing everyone and appreciated everyone all that was done for us!

Benefit Dinner


Chemo # 2

Bob's chemo, scheduled for 10/21/2009 did not get done because when he arrived his blood count was too low. They gave him a shot and on Friday he was able to get chemo. He did well with it. He is however, loosing his hair!

Thankfully his spirits are good, he's simply weak and in a lot of pain. Please keep him in your prayers.

Proud Grandma

We welcomed Caiden Larz Croom into the world on October 28, 2009 at 9:11 a.m. He weighed 6 lbs 15.6 oz and was 20 inches long.
I was thrilled and honored to be in the delivery room with my daughter while she went through her labor (long ... started at 3 p.m. 10/27/2009) and delivery. She was amazing during the entire thing! He's a little peanut and of course it was love at first sight! Mother and son are home now and resting!
