Things Around Here

Well things are here have been good some days and others were not so good. The ringing in my ears is much better and that is great for me my back is some better but I have alot of pain in my leg's still and I do not like that at all. It just hurt's across the front of them I think there is something elso going on with my leg's. I go see Dr Fennel on Thursday and I am going to talk with him about my leg's. I have been feeling tired,blood pressure has been up and my sugar has to so I think something else is going on I just don't know what. I went to April's on Saturday and help her and Becky with the babies room and it looks so cute. Becky made curtains out of some little receving blanket's she just hung them over the rod and they look so cute. Then she took two of the blanket's and made a dust ruffle for the bed and took saftey pins a fasten it to the matters frame. It looks so cute and then they made a bulletin board for the room also so that took all day long to do that. But we had so much fun together working on the project the colors are Dark Brown sort of a sky blue mabe a little darker. The baby bed is white now we like a little chess/changeing table,rocker with foot stoll that moves then she will be ready for that little Tater. Then while I was at April's Kent had to go out to Cherry Hill and see Dad because they called the house. When I got home they called me that night and they had to add another med for Dad and he seems to doing better and not as confused also they put a bracelet on his ankle to keep him from getting out without them knowing. Well my brother is doing so better but he will be in the hospital for awhile until he eats a good meal to see if he can keep food down. Then they have already talk to Mom about getting some help in until he gets stronger. Which my Mom can use the help until he gets strong enough for her to take care of. Robin told her he needed to go in a nursing home but that will never happen so long as my Mom can take care of him. Melissa has not help any since he has been in the hospital take a guess who has done all the work. I had to go Sunday because she said I could do it she had other things to do beside set at the hospital. So I went and help out of course I will do whatever to help my Mom. I am not like the other three. Well everyone take care and I can not wait until 9-06-08 for ladies day. My brother will be 50 years old on the 7th of this month he has live longer than they said he would. May God Bless All Keep us in you Prayer's.

When I Thought Things Were Getting Better

It was not a goodday yesterday after I left the nursing home at 4:3o I thought things were fine. Robin was their with the boys and Kent and I droped of some clean clothes and got the dirty duds. It was so hot we did not stay long I was putting things up so I kept getting hotter. Well while we were their Dad said are you taking me home I said no you are at home this is what I always say to him. I told him this is the best place for you. But I could see out of the corner of my eye that Robin did not like what I said. Then she said Chase are you going to play a game with you Papa but Chase never did he kept on talking to Trey. Then I check with the nurse at the desk about his appt. on Monday and she said they would have him ready. Robin kept on asking me about the time and I would never tell her because when she goes she does nothing but in when you are trying to talk with Dr. But other then that I don't know what went wrong after I left. Because when I got in from church my Mom called me and said what happened at the nursing home I told her I don't know what you are talking about everything was fine when I left. She said Melissa came in and told her that I upset her while I was out at the nursing home. Then I told her what happen and she said I figured that but Melissa said it was Mom fault to. She said how could you take her Dad away from her knowing she has cancer. Mom told her said I had an blood clot on my brain how do you think I felt. Melissa was eleven when this happen to Mom so she does not remmber any of the heart ache we went through with Mom,plus she had a stroke at the same time so she has been through alot and more. But I know what Robin has is bad don't get me wrong I feel for her all the time. But they are going to have to let up on me and Mom both. But today he went to the Dr and he is doing great expect he has gained some weight. So they will find out as little as possible from me and no more they just need to leave Mom alone. So I guess if someone how are things going I will say OK because I don't know when things are going to go wrong. So enough of that,April,Alissa and Jason worked on Tater's room painted got the bed up. Then we still have the toy box,rocking chair,shelf,Chest and what ever else there needs to be. Well take care and May God Bless Keep us all in your Prayers.

Well My Day Today\By Myself Not Normal

Today was this first time I went to the Dr by myself most of the time someone is with me either Dad are the other 2. So this was different and this is good for me. The first Dr visit I had to go to the hearing Dr and get my hearing ads. Not that I can not hear it is the ringing in my ears that is driving me nuts. They told me that these hearing ads would help the ringing in my ears boy I could tell a difference the minute they got put in and the adjustments made. I no longer so far hear a ringing in my ears. This is great because it was driving me crazy and that does not take me to far to get their these days. I go back next week to have more adjustments made and to see if they have been helping. I have to take them out at night,taking a shower or swiming they can not go in that much water. So keep me in your prayers that this helps me with the ringing. The next stop was to have my neck and shoulder and had check out on the left arm. The Dr said he was going to start with PT. Before he did anything else which I will do what ever it takes for it to get better. Well on Thursday I am having a block done on my back I have not had one in my back since January and this is good for me. So maybe I will start getting a good nights rest and moving around better. Also pray for me on Thursday that everything goes well for when they do the block. Well Dad is still doing good at Cherry Hill he is doing great in PT twice a day. He called Mom the other day and said come get me and that was it then he hung up. Kent work in Mom's yard yesterday again trying to get it to look better. The back yard is going to be a big project he is going to have to get some help doing it because it is in such a mess. Well I hope I will see everyone Wed. night if I get a good nights sleep. May God Bless All.

How Things Are Going Around My House

Well since we got back from the Beach it has still been busy for me but I think things are slowing down a bit for me now. Last week was Dr. Appt's for my Dad and they all three were due for a hair cut so we got that done. I tell you it is just like being out with three kids when I take all three of them off some where. I have to get Dad from his room and put him in and put the seat belt on just like you would a kid. Then I get in and off we go to the Dr. Dad does not say a whole lot at all when he is Mom and I. It use to be a fight and fuss just to get them all in the van and all the way to where ever we were going at the time. When we get to where we are going I have to open the back of the van get the walker out for Dad the wheel chair out for Dwight. Thank goodness Mom does not use anything that she has to walk with. I get Dwight out and put him in the wheel chair,give Dad his walker and off we go to the Dr. When we come out it is put Dwight in and put Dad in make sure they both have their seat belt's on. Off we go if it is lunch time we have to stop at McDonalds because Dwight loves the Fish Sandwhiches so that is where we do lunch ever time we are out at lunch time. Then we go back Cherry Hill and take Dad back in to his room he tells me and Mom that he wants to go home. I tell him this is your home now and this is where you stay from now on. This is the best thing for Dad he gets excerise twice a day and this is great for him because his walking is getting better all the time. My Mom and my brother are doing much better now and so am I. The other three are mad but who cares they did not help out anyhow so they do not matter. Well Tuesday I have two Dr appt's and one Thursday. The one on Thursday I will be getting a block in my back so I can stop hurting so bad and get some sleep at night. On Friday Robin get's the results on her MRI that she had done while we were out of town. Keep her and all my family in your prayers as we go through all these things together. Well April is getting more rounder by each passing day that goes by and Alissa starts to school on Wed and she has a man teacher this year so this will be different for her. Well Joe starts back to school on the 26th of this month and he is going to Daniel and Mandie's Friday. Well enough for now everyone take care and have a Bless Week and May God Bless All.

A Little Here and A Little From The Beach Vacation

I write in blue because of the little Tater that is on the way and we can not wait until he gets here so we can hold him instead of April holding him all the time. But he needs to cook a little longer. Well before i went to the Beach we had to put Dad in Cherry Hill Nursing Home where he is in room 215 and he is doing good out at Cherry Hill. If you are ever out their stop by and see him he would enjoy the visit. It was the hardest thing to do but it was best for him and this is a weight off of me and my Mom I can go off and not worry about things when I am gone. But we have problems with the other 3 but that is ok they just don't want to understand things and that is there problem. Well on to another subject that is much happier I had a birthday on the Saturday we left for the beach my hubby gave me some mone which I brought a neckles with while we were on vacation. Before we left April took me for a spa treatment and that felt great and then we had our toe nails painted and we just had a girls day out and that was fun. Well back to the beach it was alot of fun we had a great house it was on the bay side which was fine with us. We were not to far from the beach at all. On Saturday night we went out to eat at the Warf Resturant I think was the name of it for my B-day and April told them it was my B-Day and before we left they brought a cake to the table and sang Happy Birthday to me. Then one night we ate at our most wanted to eat at place which was Lambert's and it was great it will fill you up so if you are ever in Gulf Shores go to eat there but go hungery. One day we went to the beach and had to leave because of the Jelly Fish they were bad. Alissa caught a very nice size crab in her sand bucket. We swim at the pool where we stayed and that was nice we kept the girls busy all the time are April and Jason did. Katlyn went with us that was Jason brother's little girl. One night they went and played putt putt and we stayed at the house and watch a move. We had some funny times while we were gone and enjoyed the time away. April look so funny out in the water on a float with the tummy in the air. We took picture's one evening on the beach and we got some good ones. Went shopping also can not go to the beach with out doing that I got the baby somethings and brought Alissa an outfit. Well on Saturday we came home but we did not want to but all things must come to an End as they say. Well at church on Sunday morning Ben told me he had my birthday present for me and wanted to give it to me after church. Well he did and I was suprised at what he gave me it was an Angel off of the plant that his office had sent to his Grandmother and that was so touching to me. He just does not know how much that means to me. He said well Mom I know you like Angels which I do and this is why he gave me the Angel but it was just the fact that it came off of Grandmothers flower that made me cry and it was a sweet of him to give it to me. You just never know what your kids are going to give you. Well take care and May God Bless All. Keep my family in your prayers as we are still having family problems.
