Now, i go away for a week and thats what you say?!/!?! hahahahaha..

I say the good and bad about kim--the bad today being that she didnt answer the phone today when i called

 

[kimwim8]

Hey guys. I haven't posted about this, because I was hoping that things would make a turn for the better...but it's not looking good.

My grandmom is back in the hospital. I got the call when I was in WDW. She now has congestive heart failure. It's not a complete shock to me since I knew she would be pretty immobile after breaking her hip...but it's still hard to take. She also has a fever and an infection somewhere that they are trying to find and then treat.

If you can...please keep her in your prayers.

 

[Blueeyes101817]

Kim-you know you guys are in my prayers--keep us informed and call me if u need anything

 

[toystoryduo]

Your grandmom, you, and your family are in our thoughts and prayers.

 

[kimwim8]

thanks, guys!

Hello again.

Just a quick update - we found out this morning that my gmom has a staph (staff) infection. I have no idea what that means. If anyone knows...please share!

Also, I finally ran at lunch today. I totally slacked off this weekend at home, and this was my first run in a while. I did actually run in the fitness center one day while at WDW...felt great and I was so proud of myself at the time...but I think it actually slowed me down with walking around all day long every day in the parks. My legs were weary. And pretty much still were all this weekend and even this morning. But I told myself that I needed to run through it today. Once I got started - I felt fine. Only ran for 20 minutes...but that's a good refresher. I might run tomorrow again at lunch and then on Thursday morning. Then once over the weekend. Gotta get this body movin' again!!!

Im talking to you now, but had to post my catch up post on here! I am sitting here watching football and had to annoy your journal -

Have a great night!!!!

 

[kimwim8]

Hey guys. Thanks so much for your thoughts and prayers for my grandmom. I can't tell you how much I appreciate it.

Just wanted to tell you guys that I did start my trip report. There's a link in my signature if you want to check it out. Hopefully I won't leave anyone hanging too long, like some other WISHers I know.

Hi Kim!

I'm so sorry to hear about your Grandmother's continued problems . I'll be keeping your family in my thoughts for sure .

Can't wait to read your trip report . Your daughter's picture is sooo cute btw!!! How awesome of her to do locks of love. I love her new style!!!

 

[kimwim8]

Hey Amy! I hope everything is going well with you! I've missed ya around here.

No update on gmom today, unfortunately.

I ran at lunch today. Well, run/walked. My friend/co-worker is just starting to feel better and is getting back in to running (she's the one that got me started in the first place). So we did a run/walk combination for 25 minutes outside. I definitely wasn't prepared for the wind! I ran in shorts & a tshirt. She was in long pants, long sleeves AND a windbreaker. Once I got going, I wasn't too cold. The nice part was that I wasn't a sweaty mess when I was done! (usually even after a cold shower, I'm still all hot for at least an hour ). Anyway, I got the run in, and I'm SO glad. I plan on getting out there on Thursday morning before the eat-fest begins. And then again over the weekend. I don't know when the last time was that I ran 4 times in a week. I'll be SO excited when I accomplish that this week.

I'm not sure what the plan is for tomorrow. I may have to run some errands at lunch...but if not, then I will probably go to my friends' house and do some arm/ab work!!

Have a great one guys! I hope to get some more days posted on the trip report tonight.
