I just talked to one of my best friends. (I talk about her a lot here - she's the one who is a teacher's aide at the high school and she takes the boys to school a lot for me.)

Anyway, her DD has been in the hospital for a week. She started with what seemed like a stomach virus, then got dehydrated, then they found that her enzyme level was really high. They thought it was pancreatitis (sp?) and she hasn't been allowed to eat all week. They don't seem to know what it is but they also don't seem to be doing too much to find out! I talked to her Thursday morning and put my two cents worth in. If it were my DD I'd have her transferred to a bigger hospital. She suggested that to the doctor yesterday and he just kind of dismissed her suggestion. Well, the doctor just called. Her DD's blood pressure has dropped to 90 over 45 and her enzyme levels are the highest they've been. So HE has decided to transfer her to Baptist Hospital in Winston-Salem. I hope they can get moving and figure out what is wrong!

Kim - if you check on here - any ideas about what causes high enzyme levels?

Well then, bring your leftover vanilla ice cream over here and I'll share our leftover apple cobbler with you!


Actually - I bought some vanilla ice cream yesterday for our leftovers....but you're still welcome to share!

I already let DH know that next time we drive south, we have to go through NC to visit my friend.

We're supposed to go get our tree today. But I'm not sure if we will...

DH decided to start a project yesterday. He's re-doing the walls in the living room with this tongue-n-groove stuff. It's making the walls look like the inside of a log cabin. It looks nice - but why he had to wait until the holidays to start I'll never know. He doesn't have a very good track record for starting and finishing a project in a reasonable amount of time. But he promised he would get it finished up quickly this time. I guess we'll see. Matthew worked with him all day yesterday - learned how to use the table saw and the air nail gun. He'll be able to really say he helped out a lot with the living room project!

Bad timing, but I am sure Matthew enjoys working with the power tools and helping. hopefully it will be as quick as he says!

I had to work yesterday. We were dead! Grocery is a lot different than other retail - and we knew we would be dead. All we had were a few regulars that ALWAYS do their shopping on Fridays - no matter what! And the occassional customer that came in for one thing or another. I got a lot of my office work done that's been piling up.

that's funny, that was the only place I went yesterday and it was thursday (begining of the sales) busy here.

glad you got some work done, hopefully it was a stress free day.

I had planned Thanksgiving Part 2 for our dinner last night. But when I got home I found that DH and the boys had already had Thanksgiving Part 2 and Part 3! (Lunch and snack! ) So, we opted for super nachos for dinner!

that sounds fun too. tonight its greek night, skirt steak, salad, and oven potato maybe some green beans (but I am the only one who usually eats those)

DD called me at work yesterday.

Her and her DH had taken their dog to the dog park. They'd been gone about an hour when her cell phone rang. It was her boss at work. He told her that the police had called work looking for her. She thought he was joking. He said he wasn't, that the police called there asking if they knew how to reach her, something was wrong at her apartment and they gave her boss a number for him to give to her. So she called the number. While she was talking to an officer her DH's cell phone rang and it was the police dispatcher. She told him basically the same thing - something was wrong at their apartment and he needed to return home immediately.

They went home and found that someone had broken into their apartment! The guy had kicked in the front door, broke the door and the door frame!

A neighbor heard the noise when the door was kicked in and went to look. He saw the guy in the apartment and he went back to his own apartment and called 911.

The neighbor was able to identify the suspect as someone who lives in the same complex. He's only 15.

They lost about $800 - $900 worth of stuff and naturally they don't have renters insurance. It could have been a lot more though. There was stuff stacked at the door like he was making a pile to take with him. The police think that hearing the neighbor may have startled the thief so he didn't take all that he had wanted to. He did get two VERY expensive paintball guns that her DH had displayed on the living room wall. And some cash, and some games and a controller for Xbox. But the Xbox system and a wireless controller were two of the things stacked by the door that he didn't get!!

YIKES!!!

glad the neighbor was home and called 911!!!
