May 10, 2008 Ship of Thieves...May 2008 Repo Thread...Part 9

I looked to see how much it was and they don't have it. It does have a place where you can email them so they can find it.

Even if it's not on their website, it doesn't mean that they don't have it or won't get it. You should try to email them on their site and ask for it. I'm sure they'll get back to you with a reasonable response. Don't forget to mention the DIS.

Bad, bad day here. I really thought 2008 was going to be better but... I got a call from DD this morning that DGD12 was being transported from Salem Kaiser dr office to Dornbecker's Childrens Hospital. She has a very serious case of pneumonia. The Childrens Hospital is attached to the one DD and I work at by a skybridge so an easy walk over when she arrived. Her right lung is completely full and they were talking about putting in a chest tube, but after a second xray thought that might not be necessary. They have her on a couple of IV antibiotics and we are praying for a quick recovery. She is on oxygen, had a reaction to vancomycin and had to be put on benedryl for that. She is quite the trouper. When they were trying to get an IV in at Kaiser to transport they kept sticking her and she finally said "could you just try a different place?" I spent a bit of time with them, then decided I would go back to work for awhile while the docs worked her up and decided what to do. As I was walking back to my office I got a call on my cell from my sis telling me our cousin had commited suicide this morning. This was as huge shock, the last person I would expect this from. His dad (my favorite uncle) has lost 2 wives in the past 5 years and now a child. How much loss can one person endure? He can use lots of prayers. He is 82 years old and plans to fly back to Delaware for services. So far no one has been able to say they can go with him. I will talk with DrHug when he gets home and see if I can do a couple of days.

Ok, now I am going to try to catch up on this new thread. I will skip the last 10 pages of the old one.

Thanks for listening to my troubles.

Awesome news!!! I know this will sound silly, but that makes my night!!

Frank is terrible. They say he has Failure to Thrive. He has a fever and his blood pressure is about 70/40. He is throwning up and coming out the other end as well. He has had the hiccups since Monday non-stop. They say he is becoming septic, which I am not to sure I understand. They told me the infection is racing though the blood stream. He is weak and miserable.

Sorry to be so graphic,
Lisa

Hi,
We do have transportation arranged to the airport. Do you think we can check in as soon as we get there, and then take a cab to disneyland?

Airlines normally don't allow check-in until 4 hours before your flight - some have an even shorter check-in time frame.

OMG this is the worst day ever. I'm so sorry to hear about this. I'm sure your DGD will recover soon but your family will be in my thoughts until she does.

Angie I am so sorry to hear of all of this. Your DGD will be in my thoughts. It must be nice that you can easily see her....and so sorry to hear about your cousin. What a rough day for you.

I will send a bunch of virtual hugs your way and I hope that your grand daughter is doing better quickly.

Angie my thoughts are with you. That is one tough DGd. I have a phobia about needles and not sure if I would have handled it as well!

 

[woody73]

No I decided to use points and stay at the Residence Inn.

I've heard very good things about the Residence Inn, and would love to stay there.

[MrsMork]

we were out swimming....the boys next door were playing frisbee....they don't belive in shirts and I think they don't believe in undies either. they are so skinny their pants are falling down.

Nice!

 

[MrsMork]

Must be John. But I think there's another one floating around somewhere too.

One sailed with us in Dec and returned to OR with us. No leaks and he could definately travel back to FL with us.

 

[woody73]

. . . I would make sure your tetanus is up to date. Talk to your MD.

Good advice. Got mine last month.

[MrsMork]

I do realize for most on this list, this is nothing...but it is almost APRIL and I thought we were done with this. There are accidents galore on the roads right now and we are getting snow (you getting anything Angie?) UGH The PNW doesn't ever really get snow so why now when it is supposed to be spring?

They tell me we did get some right down to the valley floor here in Newberg today. I was inside all day though so missed it. I heard on the radio on the way home that ODOT will be putting down some deicer tonight though. VERY unusual for this time of year here. Must be that global warming thing again.

 

[MrsMork]

Global warming

Doug

Great minds, Doug!

 

[calmom]

Angie, I just popped in and your post is all I saw...so very sorry. My prayers are with you and your family for strength during this illness and faith while your mourn.

 

[MrsMork]

Oh if there is enough snow that I need to shovel, we won't be going out at all We live in an area where an inch of snow closes schools and roads!

Yep, we don't shovel here either. Just hunker down and wait for it to melt!

Oh my word Angie, that's a lot for one person to deal with in one day. You take a deep breath and stay strong for your loved ones. I'll keep you and them in my prayers and I'm sending you big, big hugs. Keep us updated when you can. Where in Delaware will you be if you do go?

 

[MrsMork]

OMGosh!!!

We will be in Seattle from the 26th April, and I had NOT planned on taking anything for weather like that!!!

Being from sunny Sydney, I have only seen snow twice in my life, when we went on vacation to the snowfields in the south of the country when I was a kid, so I own nothing to pack!!!

Winter clothes aren't out here quite yet (not that we ever get anything in the shops for weather like you are having), only light autumn stuff - looks like I am hitting the shops!!!

You won't need snow gear in Seattle by April 26. But you do need to bring a jacket. Sweatshirts would be all we would wear, but if you are not used to chilly weather you will probably want a jacket.

 

[woody73]

I'm afraid I've been shopping. . .

Oh no! This looks this looks like the start of a "Friends of Ian" meetings. I'll be next: "My name is Woody, and I'm a shopaholic."

OMG you guys - if you don't mind some from a lurker - your welcome to have mine - I'll send some prayers up high to see if they help. I agree with Mrs Mork - no one should have to deal with all this in one day.

Here's hoping tomorrow brings just a little ray of sunshine.
