Thank You For All Of Your Prayers

Just a big thank you for all of your support and prayers... My cousin Arnetta that all of you were praying for woke up from her coma... She is sitting up talking moving her arms and legs.. Doctors say she has no brain damage at all... God is such a good God ... There is so much power in prayer and thank you so much Ladies...


She has a road ahead of physical therapy and a surgery to fix what happened to heart but she will be fine in the long run

Love all you

Please Pray !!!

I'm going to keep this blog short because I am going on 48 hours of no sleep. I have been at the hospital with family... Waiting , praying and comforting each other....

My 1st cousin Arnetta collapsed Wed. night coming out of bible study. She went into cardiatric arrest...The ambulance was able to use a defibrillator to bring her back.. But her pulse was very weak and even at the hospital she was completely unresponsive . They had to put her in a induced coma and  drop her body temp.  all the way down. Tomorrow morning at 5am they will begin to slowly , very slowly higher her body temp. back to normal. This is a process that can take any where from 3 days to 3 weeks.... We will not know until her body temp is back up to normal if she has any brain damage.. Also there is a chance she can go back into cardiatric arrest again and they are concerned about swelling of the brain.

I'm asking for my prayer warriors to stand in prayer with me and my family.. For healing....Pray for the strength of her Mother , Father,  Sisters , Brothers  and family.. We know that the God we serve is ABLE to save her if it is his WILL.


Matthew 18:19-20       Again I say unto you, That if two of you shall agree on earth as touching any thing that they shall ask, it shall be done for them of my Father which is in heaven.  For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them.

Good Ole Coconut Oil

Hey Ladies


Well I'm still sick but I'm getting better... I think I will be back and at it in a few days . Today I felt well enough to do something with my hair. When I took down the two braids my hair was dry ... It really needed to be washed and deep conditioned but I'm not feeling up to that yet...

I took small sections and applied coconut oil to each section and combed it out.. I lost a lot of hair but at the same time it hadn't been combed in over a week. It was probably hair that had already shed. After I finished I pulled my hair up in a bun and tied on my scarf and got back in the bed.

When I took my scarf off tonight my hair was so so soft... I forget the power of coconut oil. I thought I was going to be in trouble because I am completely out of moisturizers.. Good ole coconut oil didn't let me down. Before going to bed I sectioned my hair in 4 sections and put in 4 bantu knots for a messy bun or updo tomorrow.. I know I'm sick but it would be nice to do a messy bun and put on some lip gloss ...LOL

Under The Weather

So its day three that I have been stuck in bed sick...I will just be happy when this virus passes and I can get out this bed !!! I hate being sick and I haven't been this sick in a very long time...

The first day I started getting sick I was still functional ... I washed and deep conditioned my hair.. I moisturized it and put it in 2 braids... Well its still in those two braids 3 days later... I don't even feel up to un braiding and moisturizing... I will just deal with that when I feel up to it... One good thing is today is the first day I had a appetite to eat even though I could not taste any of it ...LOL

Mini Haul...Revlon , Clariol, and Elf

Updates

A lot has been going on lately... First off since I have fallen in love with Mary Kay skin products I have been seriously considering selling it... I think having parties will be fun and it would be a cool way to meet other women... Something girly for me X the Hubby and kids... I'll keep you guys posted on that one...hahahaha

Hmm... Lets talk about the hair... I don't know you guys... I'm just not feeling it...  I would say the longest parts of my texlaxed hair reaches to about APL and of course the rest of my hair that reaches down to HL is straight relaxed hair.... When I flat iron soon I will be doing a mini chop to WL.... Only thing is... Now that I have more texlaxed hair I'm getting to know it better... Its always matting up ... What is up with that ?? I can't slack on the deep conditioning at all..

Sometimes I feel like chopping it all off...Other times I feel like doing a corrective relaxer and be done with it..Then I look in the mirror and see how wonderfully thick my hair is getting and all that goes out the window.
