Hi Guys!

Thanks for all the prayers and well-wishes!

My Dad had his surgery early this morning; he is still under from the anesthesia / sedatives / pain meds and is on a ventilator. He probably won't wake up for another couple of hours. Vital signs are good.

I was so glad that my sister and I were there for my mom during the long wait... she was quite anxious (as would be expected.)

I'm so appreciative of the wonderful support you've given me today (and always.) I was up super-duper-early, so I'm not going to do much DIS-ing tonight. I'll be back with an update tomorrow when I get home from work.

God Bless You All...

That's great news Kathy!! I hope recovery goes well.

 

[irish dancer]

Great news Kathy! Get some rest and we'll keep you all in our prayers for a quick recovery!

 

[eandesmom]

I'm glad to hear things look good so far! Get some good sleep tonight and I'm glad you were able to be there for your mom.

So sorry to hear about your dad, Kathy...glad to know that everything went well. He'll be in my prayers for a quick recovery!

We could really use some prayers in our household, too...Saturday evening, Sarah (DD12 with HFA) fell and broke her wrist. She completely broke both bones where her arm and wrist are connected, and had to have surgery Sunday morning to reset her arm/wrist. She is now in a full arm cast for 3-4 weeks, and then a small cast for another 3-4 weeks. She probably won't be able to participate in dance (or other activities) for 6 months. Monday, I started having problems with chest congestion, and tested positive for H1N1, and now the rest of the family is sick, too. I'm feeling a lot better today than I have, but now I have to doctor the rest of the family back to health. Thanks!

Hello Friends!

Well, the latest on Dad is that he's off the ventilator and his vital signs are good... lots of morphine for pain, but he is drinking fluids and everything is stable, thank God!

In other news, I am a bit bummed not to have made it to Round 2 of the 2010 Disney Mom Panel. *Sigh* In a way, though, I'm thinking that it's a blessing in disguise. Writing The Book is going to take enough time away from my family; I think this was God's way of making sure I didn't put too much on my plate.

Many of you have stopped by my book blog... Amy, Carissa, Denise, Erin, Julia, Julie, Jordan, Kimmie, Kristine, Margaret, Maroo, Nancy, Sara, Stephanie, and of course, Tracy! Thanks so much for your support!

irish dancer, what is your real name, anyway?? Thanks to you too!

And if I left anyone out, please forgive me.

Trip-wise, everything is humming along. Jordan will be thrilled to know that I've started my travel-size shopping! And I'm stocked op on Zip-loc bags! All MNSSHP costume pieces have been accounted for and the bulkier items (like pirate hats) will be mailed to the resort ahead of us. I checked up on DNeice, Catie, while I was at her house Tues night and her costume is all set, too. She's very excited! Tricia is also moving from the apathy of six months ago to pre-trip excitement!

I regret not having started on any social stories for Billy yet, I hope there will be time to do at least a few basic stories.

I'll probably put in my order for GardenGrocer.com this weekend.

Thanks again for all your prayers and positive thoughts for Dad!
