I'm HERE!!!!!!! ;o)

So we all made it to IN!!! It took us about 12 hours, which is good considering I went the wrong way for 10 min (let me explain... Mapquest said to STAY TO THE RIGHT so I could get off at exit 35, but it didn't inform me that 495 and 95 split... grr... In my not thinking, and not remembering which way, of course, I went the wrong way... Opps... ;oP), we made a stop to eat supper and was stooped for an hour, then again at 8:00 to feed the eating machine, and that took about 45 minutes, (the kids needed to go the bathroom and got gas too...) then he woke up again around mid-nite wanting to eat again, so we stopped off at rest stop and then Kotah needed to go to the bathroom, so I woke the other 2 up, and we all went in! What fun!!! ;o) Then I HAD to find a gas station, filled the van up and then finally got here about 2:30am. And I left Maryland about 2:15pm... Mapquest said it would take me 10 hours, so I figure, not bad!
On to dad....
(oh, by the way, yes, I still have all 4 kids who are alive and well!!! LOL)
Dad called mom this morning a little after 8 saying they were going to take him down now to put in the larger stent. Not sure how long that will take, but when I hear from mom, will get it up here.
They are unsure if they will be able to still go to Goshen or not... They are hoping they may let him out for the appointment, but not sure? I guess it all depends on how his infection is? I dunno...
Mom said dad still is kinda breaking out in sweats, it just comes on so suddenly. Like Friday, right before their friends got there, he started. He doesn't know that it is coming...
Mom just called and said they just got dad in, so not sure how long it will be...
That's all I know for now!

Oh, Mandy ... I just got caught up on your blog.
So sorry you're going through this (and your whole family). I can't even begin to imagine how hard it must be. We are praying for all of you. Wish we could be there with you.

Cancelled

What a busy crazy day! Curt left right away this morning around 7 to get his blood taken.  He got back and then Audrey got here.  We played and picked up for a bit then left to go to the Health Department to get our TB test done.  We got there around 10ish and they told us we needed to make an appointment.  So we waited for a bit to make an appointment.  Thankfully they had an opening for today yet.  They only do these tests on Friday, so we really didn't want to have to wait until next Friday if at all possible.  Got an appointment for 1:15 and 1:30.  I was thinking ugh, either no nap and very little nap, but I didn't care!  ;) Got home, cleaned up a bit more, got the kiddos some lunch, then we turned around and left to go back to the Health Department.  (I did NOT see the water guy! ;)) Got back there, got asked some questions, wanted to know why I need the test...  I said adoption.  They saw all the other 5 kids and as...

Run-Aways

Wow, this has seriously been an eventful week! Starting off with the whole fabric softener mis-hap, which you can read on here if you didn't see or hear about it! Then Curt left Monday nite, Tuesday, well, it was ok, we had mom's group and the kids were acting up a bit, but nothing too bad... Then Wednesday I had a meeting at the church... It started out ok, the meeting wasn't long at all! Gavin came into the room and said he wanted to go play outside on the playground. I told him no, because I couldn't see him. I said, what if someone came by and picked you up and grabbed you and took you somewhere? Mommy would never see you again and I would be soooo sad! I said, I can't see you, so you need to stay inside. Well, not more than 3 minutes passed and Kotah comes up to me and says, uh, mom, Gavin is trying to go outside. So, I get up, go over to him and talk. I asked him what is he doing? he says, I WANT to play OUTSIDE! I said, bubby, I can't see you, so you can...

Update on Dad...

Mom called a little while ago. Dad will be admitted, they aren't sure yet what caused the pain. He had fever, but it now is broken. He is also a little jaundice, so that is why they were/are thinking that his stent moved... They had to poke him 3 different times to try and get an IV in, his veins were so tight because he was in so much pain, he was tensing up. They took some blood from both arms and are still waiting on the results of that. They also did a chest x-ray. So still waiting, but atleast he isn't in any pain. The gave him a shot of morphine to take care of the pain, and it finally worked.
