The Seasons: A Poem

Posted by on
Sunrise over Amazing Grasses Family Farm The mad Artist wields His brush, Painted colors rush, To life and give flush, Before the quiet autumn hush. The life seems to pour, As colors fall to the floor, To be seen no more, Outside the dark, grey door. Brightness from below, Sun upon the snow, High, cold clouds blow, Flakes and ice appear to grow. The man melts with little seen, Underneath, pale, grey green, Hides life in dark unseen, Waits for warmth and to careen. Buds on branches show, Patience starts to grow, Trickles, streams and veins flow, Bringing fruits of melted snow. Sprung to life it springs, Bees, birds, sound rings, Lush green flings, Its gift bounty brings. Green growth gives one last rush, Underneath the Painter's brush. The mad Artist wields His brush, before the quiet autumn hush. More poetry is available from James M. Hahn in  The Last Dragon and Other Poems  available now.

Catherine and Kurt Update

Posted by on



For those of you still following Catherine...she had a few appointments yesterday. She got her hearing rechecked after a few failed tests while she was in the hospital. While she does have some mild hearing loss, it appears that it's something that can be treated and or grown out of (fluid, wax, small ear canals). She will visit an Ear, Nose and Throat specialist in the future to diagnose what exactly it is. She also went to the neonatology clinic and she weighed in at 9 lbs. That's about 25 grams a day she has been gaining since she was discharged. Everyone was happy with that! They are now allowing her to breastfeed for 3 feeds a day instead of two and we are continuing to go up on her volume. She is working hard on gaining more strength in her neck muscles so she can hold her head up. However, she is not working very hard on getting her brothers to love her and give her lots of attention, she doesn't need to! They love to kiss her and make her smile, and now laugh.


Please continue to keep Kurt in your prayers...here's an update from the CaringBridge site.

He smiled all morning =) and laughed at Mrs. Lisa and Mr. Larry. Still in some pain from PEG tube but overall, wonderful day for Kurt. It was great to see him in good spirits today. Went for MRI in the afternoon. Pray he can get a good night's rest.


Thank you for your prayers as we continue to pray for all of you!
