One more post for the bottom! Then is Greg lurking without his light on

Nope, Greg is dragging out the luggage so at least it looks like I'm packing!

If we were just going on a cruise for 7 days it wouldn't be that big a deal, but we'll be gone for almost 3 weeks!!!!! That takes some serious packing/planning!!

Naw, just pull everything out of the drawer and throw it in! We made it with 3 suitcases + 1 suitcase for all the other stuff (One suitcase is basically all the dress clothes and shoes too! Snorkles, masks, googles, FE stuff, some bathroom stuff, my FE's, door signs, etc.

Greg, Word of warning--it can get cold at the MVMCP. I'm bringing the winter coats and me a blanket for my lap. We can be so fortunate and have it be warm enough for just sweatshirts but I've been when I had on the winter stuff and gloves and was VERY glad I had them! Last year, when we were at MK for the night, we only had on sweatshirts so

Hi Jaime! Did you have a busy day? How is the leg and back?

Hi Dawn...it's been crazy here but I had to take time to post since your leaving me tonight However I am very happy for you

Do you know what the weather is suspose to be like for driving? I worry if you haven't guessed

My leg isn't much better...I'm managing.

I just got home.

Yesterday I had to run a few places in the morning and then Alicia had school and Kierra had basketball in the evening...so I was busy being mom's taxi service This morning I had to go to Walmart and then Alicia had swimming...right after swimming I had to get Kierra from school and Glen from work for Kierra's appointment.

The doctor was very pleased with her MRI results...everything is completely healed The sack of fluid is still there and has always and will always be there. She will need to be monitored every 6 months but the doctor is not concerned at all. I guess I'll always be nervous and worried about her but at least everything is okay.

Today is report card day at school My princess did great!

Paityn is out of ICU and she has had two bowl movements She will remain in the national children's hospital for 10-14 days then she'll be transfered back to a hosiptal in there community. They are hopeful she'll be home for Christmas

Busy, busy day. Stopping by before I begin. Look at my ticker--TONIGHT!

Hey Brantley.

Hey Greg. How's the packing coming along???

 

[theostwalts]

Oh, I see how it works. You get to go play and have fun and leave us to do all the work around here????!!!!

It still is not to late for you and Jaime to come with us [/QUOTE]

If you see a large box with air holes drilled into it, sitting outside of your room on Saturday Morning...Don't ask any questions. Just load it up and take it to the port!!!

 

[Jaime]

Greg, did you get a airline seat for Holly? If you didn't, from my experience, don't bring the seat. If you got her a seat, AND she won't sit still without it, bring the seat. Christian wouldn't sit still without the seat so we bought a travel car seat. It folded together. Skylar always did fine without.

I agree. We have never brought one for Kierra but because Alicia refuses to sit still and loves to wander and loves to sleep in her car seat I brought it for her and it saved us some money on renting one for the rental car.
We never brought it with us last year though and she did okay...during the flights we would lift the arm rest and the girls lied down.

I got to get supper and get the girls to the doctor...not sure if I'll get to post before you leave Dawn! Have a great trip!!!!

Greg when are you leaving again?

 

[dsparks]

Just got back on because of your lovely message

Everything is good to go. Going to Stephanie's for pizza--no dishes. YAY!

 

[dsparks]

I am so glad Kierra is doing great! Both physically and mentally! Always good to hear!

I'm relating to you with empathy. Getting by with the back and legs isn't pleasant but sometimes surgery isn't really an option This weather isn't helping matters. I'm really hoping to get some relief in the warmer weather. I really hoping that it is warm (hot is ok too!)
