If you're on Facebook this is the same thing I posted a little bit ago......
Well.....It looks like we were all too optimistic..too soon.
Greg is back in the hospital....All over something so minor to most people...
He had developed a pimple right underneath one of his nostrils. He had put a band aid on it yesterday (becasue the plastic tubing from the oxygen irrated the area). During the night he started feeling really terrible....night sweats....vomiting.....the works. His lip then swelled up to about 5 times its normal size - he says he looks like a duck. He is now at the hospital waiting for a room.
Yesterday afternoon he was feeling better then he had in months. He could see an end to all of this -- his last chemo is scheduled for 2 weeks from yesterday.
He could use any and all prayers.
Hope this gets better soon
Thanks y'all.
Yes, this has been quite the roller coaster ride and Monica, I do want off! LOL!
Right now Greg is just *sick & tired* of being sick and tired! And I don't blame him!
He is sounding much better this morning -- and the swelling has gone down so, he doesn't look so *freakish*. His upper lip was at least 5 times its normal size........
He is responding quickly to the antibiotics -- since this time around his blood cell count is close to normal-- and they expect to release him tomorrow.
I'll be going up to the hospital later (Claire has a playdate today & Girl Scouts!) to bring him some real food. Knowing him he probably wants some fried shrimp & french fries w/ a Dr Pepper! LOL!
I was trying to find a pic of Greg (where no one is making some wierd face or has their eyes closed....). Here is Me & my siblings (I'm the oldest) and my mom & dad at My dd's wedding last year. Greg is the one standing next to me. And yes, I am the only one with dark hair! LOL! The rest are natural blonds! LOL!
What a bummerI hope the cats get over it soon!
Nothing would make Claire happier then if we bought a dog! LOL! Of course then Elvis would have to live somewhere else....... He actually prays every night not to be afraid of dogs/cats anymore so that Claire could have a pet.
My Mom is afraid of the water and will never cruise with us because of it. But a dog/cat phobia has got to be such a pain for Elvis. Is it easier for him just to tell people he is allergic
Punch? was there punch in my rum?
From what i remember.....lunch was good (at least the chicken and other meats; wasn't brave enough to do the salad parts.)
Gotta go back and do it again
What a nightmareHi Everyone! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! We just got back today from an awesome WDW trip. At some point when Sydney and I have recovered I'll find time to go through all of our pictures and give a better summary... For once, we had beautiful weather for almost the entire trip. We had 1 day that was just cold and Sydney and I weren't feeling great so we went back early. We didn't have any rain or freezing temps at all down there. As of the 1st, they are REALLY into the Celebrations thing. We had a couple of restaraunts give my SIL and I certificates or free dessert since we're both expecting (we just found out about her) and BIL and Sydney dessert and cards for their birthdays.
We had the worst travel day ever today geesh! We actually got to the airport early for once, but then it took Steve an hour to return the rental car and get back to the airport. He also sat in something that really smelled like pee on the shuttle back. We then decided to do the curbside check-in to save time and barely made it to the gate as they were boarding. We got on the Southwest plane with the family boarding and found the last 2 seats together - in the very very back where the seats don't recline. Sat next to a family that was vomiting the entire time - apparently some sort of virusThey lost Sydney's carseat that we gate checked so they couldn't lose or damage it.... Then while trying to figure out how to get the SW loaner seat into the car, a taxi backs into us! Then the lady could care less... My dad went and knocked on her window and she's like oh well (at least we didn't see any damage!!) So on our way back to my parent's house, we had to get around a good accident... Not 2 blocks later there was a little OLD lady driving the WRONG WAY on the road... A cop was trying to hold traffic so she could turn around, but she kept driving the wrong way... Then steve narrowly avoided an idiot that ran a red light. Phew made us want to curl up at my parents house and not do anything else today. After that was OK, except for people driving weird and coming home to snow. I haven't been able to warm up all day!
Yea!! Glad to hear it is a "minor" setback
Mmmm, I like Dr Pepper too
What a bummer
Have you ever had Dublin Dr Pepper? Dublin, TX has a Dr Pepper plant that still uses cane sugar.
I usually drink the diet and they have come out with a bunch of different flavor mixes (cherry, vanilla, and others). I'll have to look for the Dublin Dr. Pepper just to try it
That's a good idea! Then people wouldn't constantly try to *help* him with his fear! UGH!!!!!
As soon as someone finds out that you have a phobia some people feel like they have the *answer* for you! LOL!
I tried to teach my Mom to swim when I was about 12. It was shallow water and she really tried, but it was torture just for her to put her face in the water
Just checking in.
Linda decided to try to conquer her fear of heights by ziplining in PV. She ended up threatening to walk down the back side of the mountain with all of the snakes because that was preferable to continuing on the zip lines. She eventually made it by zipping through the jungle with several Mexican men wrapped around her.
I'm proud of her for doing it, and I thank God that it was her idea and not mine.

Hmmm, Mike, maybe I'll have to pretend to have a fear of heights and see how many Mexican men I can get wrapped around me next time Give my congrats to Linda
Thanks y'all.

Sorry to hear about all of this Steph
That's what Xanax is for! Too bad I forgot mine on the ship before we went zipping that day!!!
I would have walked down with her! there was a reason I didn't go zip-lining with you all! My other fear is flying so this summer will really test that.
I just have to keep thinking.if I fly I get to be with all of you! And with all of you - there is rum!

I really thought about including myself in the zipline, but the anxiety was awful After weighing the disappointment in being left out with the anxiety and fear of going, 
With Pamela and Chris to hang with ) But I had fun anyway.You should have joined us at the bar instead of ziplining.I would have walked down with her! there was a reason I didn't go zip-lining with you all! My other fear is flying so this summer will really test that.

She just wants to keep her girlish figure.
