Century Plant

So, I have this giant flower growing plant in my yard called a (Click on) Century plant...Agave Americana, commonly known as the century plant, maguey, or American aloe. It's a little over 10' tall. Last week it was about 6' tall. It can reach 20-30' tall. It should bloom in July! Updates are coming.

CHAOS!

Things have been a little chaotic since the beginning of the year. I will soon be back to normal and sending out more blogs....just a warning!!

CELEBRATION OF LIFE!

   
    I have just returned from the "Celebration of Wade Aust's Life." It was a great ceremony. Friends and family gathered to talk about Wade, his work ethic, his love of man, woman and child, and his love of life. His favorite sayings were, "Piece of Cake" and "Whatever!" There were lots of laughs and not too many dry eyes. Wade, you will never be forgotten. You will always be in our hearts. I hope to see you again, Buba. 
"At ease, Airman Aust!" 

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!

WADE S. AUST, JR.

from Myrna Odom...PLEASE PRAY for my daughter, Stephany and our family as her Dad, Wade Aust, Jr., lost his fight with Leukemia this afternoon. God Bless each of you for all of your prayers and thank you all for putting Stephany's pain and needs first in their life. In a tragedy like this you often find out who your true friends really are. Please continue to pray for her and her family. Praise God for his mercy and his love.

HITCHING POST

The Hitching Post brings the Firefighters running! 

Fire investigators get an overhead view of the charred remains of the Hitching Post Inn Thursday afternoon. Fire crews spent most of Thursday extinguishing hot spot and started investigating the cause of the fire. Fire investigators get an overhead view of the charred remains of the Hitching Post Inn Thursday afternoon.

WADE AUST

Kind of reminds you of that first haircut in the Air Force, huh?

RIGHT PLACE....RIGHT TIME!

Diane Travis, clowning around!

Our good friend, Ron Travis just happened to be with his wife when she needed him the most. Diane wasn't feeling well and collapsed while at home. Ron says he just happened to be home at the time. He called 911 and they rushed to get her and take her to the hospital. They ran some tests and found her BP was 26...resulting from a bleeding ulcer. If he had not been home at that very moment, she wouldn't be with us today. She is doing great. God works miracles and she is living proof. Thank you God!

UPDATE #2

Hey - just wanted to bring you up to date on what is going on with Wade - Steph called me and spent 45 minutes trying to explain everything to me - First of all - Wade IS doing great currently, but the worst is yet to come.  As I understand it, they say he will "crash" (which means white cell count will go to zero) because of the intensive chemo last week (will be nauseated, diarrehea, weak, weak weak)  he will be back in the hospital when that happens - usually between 3-5 days after last chemo. Typically at about 12 days after transplant the the new bone marrow will start to produce new white blood cells.  The other danger over the next 12-30 days is rejection of the bone marrow  - then his organs would start to shut down - liver, kidneys etc.  I am having difficulty even typing these words - but I am to ask all of you to please continue to pray for Wade.  The next couple of weeks are going to be tough so PLEASE continue to pray for him and for God to give Gaye the comfort and strength to get through all of this - currently she is pretty whipped.   Stephany is going to try to put all of the info into an e-mail - because it is so lengthy and so many people have been praying for him and are so concerned.  Hopefully she will get this done tomorrow and then I will send it to you and you can pass it on so we all know what to expect.  If I have gotten some of the info wrong, please forgive me - Anyway, thanks to each and everyone of you for your continued prayers. 

Wase Aust Update 8/20/2010

Good morning - here is the update. Donor marrow arrived around 3 am by helicopter - he is doing good, however his numbers did not come up like they want them to, so they are giving him the other half as I am writing this.  They had hoped to be able to freeze them in the event he needed them within the next year, but hopefully he won't.  He had breakfast and a shower and says he feels good - so KEEP PRAYING - Steph, his daughter, said any complications don't necessarily show up right away - Wade's brother-in-law had this 5 years ago and they kept him in isolation for 20 days after transplant at MD Anderson.  BUT SO FAR - GOOD!  Please thank everyone for me for all of their thoughts and prayers. 

UPDATE ON WADE AUST

The donor bone marrow is coming out of Europe and the transplant is scheduled for 1:00-1:30 am, Friday - by 10:00 they should know how his body is tolerating the new and they will go from there.  They will only be using half at 1:30 and after 10:00 am tomorrow if he needs more they will use it then - the donor marrow can be frozen for up to 1 yr. Continue your prayers for Wade and his family.

WADE AUST

Wade Aust entered the Methodist Hospital in San Antonio, Texas today. He will start intensive chemo, be kept in isolation and on the 19th he will undergo bone marrow transplant. Please keep in in your prayers.

HAPPY INDEPENDENCE DAY 2010

Happy Independence Day to all of you. Pray for our Troops. 

I wish for a safe and peaceful Holiday for you all....

GOD BLESS AMERICA!!
