Dad

Dad went to Goshen this morning to have his stomach pumped, I know, not the right way to say it, but I don't feel like writing out the "correct" term! I am known for making up names for things. ;o)
They weren't sure if they were going to be able to do anything at first. Mom asked them if they needed a certain amount of fluid in order to do the procedure and they said they did. If not, they could damage the bladder or some other organ. SO, the nurse went to talk to the doc and he said to put dad on his side, they rolled him to his side and were able to find a pocket of fluid then. So they got out 1/2 liter. The nurse told them it doesn't need to be a huge amount every time they do it, just as long as dad is more comfy, and he was! Of course, it may have to do with the amount of pain meds he took BEFORE going in! ;o) Dad took a vicodin before even leaving to help with the pain. Then at 9:30 he took 2 MORE, yes folks, I said 2 as in T-W-O!!! ;o) Mom and I were talking before they left and we said that he could take one more about 9:30 to help with the pain, but he wanted to take 2. So... he said that the doc he had this time was MUCH better! But we were thinking it was the amount of vicodin that he took beforehand! LOL ;o) Later mom gave dad a kiss and asked how he was feeling, he said he was ok. Then mom asked if he wanted another vicodin, dad's reply, "Oh heavens no!" So... He was a tad loopy. But atleast he didn't feel any pain! Or hardly any at all! ;o)
He said he is feeling a tad bloated, but we are thinking that may be the case from now on.
He meets with Dr Pennington on early Tuesday. Will find out if there is ANYTHING they can do to help or if he doesn't have anymore ideas. Then will decide if he wants Hospice to come in and help out ot what...
We will be playing more hand and foot tonite, will see if the guys can beat the girls! The girls beat the guys MAJORLY!!!!!!!!!!!! ;o) Will see what happens! We may have to play half tonite and then the other half tomorrow. But that's ok! it's still fun!!! ;o)

Whew...

written 4-7-18 Wow! It's been a while since I"ve blogged...  Crazy fun times around here!  :) We had a BIG EVENT for our church Friday night.  It was awesome!!!  All about where we are and what we need to finance our new church building we are building!  We were to take a card and pray about a number and donate for the building fund.  It was a FANTASTIC awesome night to say the least!!! Curt and I have been praying about a number that God wants us to give.  We both feel a number, we can't afford.  haha...  We really can't afford anything because we still have 2 adoption credit card bills we are paying off.  God has blessed us and given us what we need each month.  But we want to give, and adding it up and looking at our budget and writing it all out, it's not there.  Nothing is there!  But that's the way it was with adoption!  We took that step of faith! So that was Friday...  Saturday morning went to kettle bell class and I died...  I honestly haven&#

Ultrasound

First of all, thank you ladies for all those sweet comments you made on my last post! How sweet you are for saying those things! Made my day!!! :O) Second, went for the ultrasound on Monday and everything is fine! WHOO HOO!!!!! No more placenta previa!!!! The baby weighs about 2 1/2 lbs, and everything looks good! We took the kids with us so they could see their baby brother/sister, they LOVED it!! Gavin was FULL of questions though! What's that stuff she put on mommy's belly? Why do the lights needs to be off? I only see one eye. Where's the other eye? What was that, is that his hand or leg? Oh my.... ;o) The tech ended up putting up a 4D on the screen, so that was really cool to see! The cord was kinda in the way, but I still think it was awesome! I didn't have that with any of the other kids!!! :O) Maybe the trick is taking 3 other siblings in to see the 4th!!! ;o) I also only gained a pound, which I am trying to figure out, seeings how I pretty m

Grandma

Grandma passed away this morning at 1:35 am. She had been totally un-responsive for the past couple of days. Yesterday we got a call and said she only had an hour, they said they made the mistake and grandma heard them, so she kept hanging on! Her feet had been cold and almost black, but they were starting to get warm and she was taking more breaths, but still very shallow. Finally she gave in and went home! The family seems to be doing ok, just please keep them in your prayers! The viewing will be Sunday and the funeral on Monday. I am not sure of the times yet, they are meeting with the funeral director in an hour. I am not going to be at the musical practice Monday nite, so Sandy May and Jena R are in charge that nite! I will have the lines assigned so the kids will know what their parts will be! Please help them out this week!!!! Thank you!!!! Thanks again for all of your prayers!!!!
