One became SEVEN?!? How did THAT happen? 4/24 UPDATE

Oh, Tracy, I am so happy to hear that Emile will be going home soon! How wonderful!!

Judy, I am praying for you and Lisa to be feeling much better soon. May I suggest a pair of earplugs for Christmas and then you can sit and snuggle Lisa through endless hours of SpongeBob without going crazy? Bless your heart for giving her exactly what she needed when she was feeling yucky - time with her Mama!

My sweet SIL was taken to the ER yesterday AM and admitted immediately with double pneumonia. I talked to my BIL this morning and he sounds awful - he came down with the same virus she has yesterday (I saw him Monday after she got sick on Saturday and he was absolutely fine) and he went to the doctor this morning. So far his lungs are clear but he has an Rx for an antibiotic if he starts feeling worse. They are normally so healthy and only 52 and 62 so I am concerned that they both got so sick so quickly. BIL said even with the IV antibiotics since yesterday AM, my SIL is not feeling any better today and will be in the hospital for several days, at least. I am so torn because I want to go and see her to let her know we are thinking of her, but I don't want to expose any of us right now because we are supposed to go visit my 85-year-old Grandmother next week and I don't want to risk anybody getting sick. We mailed cards to SIL and I had flowers and a note delivered to her room - I hesitate to call her at the hospital because I know how hard it is to sleep when you are in there and with my luck, I'd wake her up from her first good nap in days. Seriously, these people are the salt of the earth; I am truly blessed in the in-law department with them!

I may or may not be able to catch up here the next couple of weeks, as we are planning to go visit my grandmother for Christmas and trying to leave on Saturday, so I will wish you all a wonderful, Merry Christmas and hope you are all well, blessed and happy!

 

[ladylyons]

Judy - Continued prayers for Lisa to get better, you and the rest of your family. Glad it seems like she's on the mend if even just a little bit. Happy you all were able to go to the wedding!!


Tracy - Yes they will sleep. They may go to bed later than we'd like but once they are out they are out!! I'm so glad I don't have to go to the stores for any more Christmas shopping. Oh wait I take that back forgot I still have to go get White Elephant gifts for Christmas at my Aunt's house. But I know what I want to get so that will be easy to do. May do that on Friday when I go get the Turkey meal we'll be having on Saturday with my mother in law, step father in law, brother in law and sister in law. Kids can't wait to see their cousins!

I was good to read rather cheery notes from everyone the last few days! I hope everyone that is ill continues to improve so that the holidays can be wonderful for all.

For everyone all finished with shopping and wrapping and cooking........feel free to come to my house My kitchen and living room looked like a bomb has exploded in it with shopping I did yesterday plus I am not unpacked from 10 days in Tennessee I have stockings to do for ............heck, I don't know, I would have to count them on my fingers, and use my toes too but I think I am up to 17 now? Not including 2 for my friends in upstate NY! Old "Santa" Deborah has her work cut out for her just to sort the stuff and get it in bags (I gave up on real stockings, too hard to deal with, bags sit there open and ready to have things dropped in them while all lined up on the kitchen bar) Add into that the fact that I work 4 days out of the next 6 before Christmas, and after 12 hours at work the last thing I can think about is doing things around here I am telling you, just hearing about Judy's days exhaust me, I don't know how she does it

Time for me to say goodnight and find a nice warm bed to collapse in

 

[courtneybelle]

Hi Tracy! YAY for Emile's progress! I am so happy that prayers have been answered and he is doing better. I have my Christmas shopping done, but there's still wrapping and baking and cleaning left...

Judy, I'm grateful for any progress you and Lisa have toward feeling better, even if it is slow...I just hope you guys are feeling better for the holidays! Know that I'll be praying for you. Lisa made an excellent choice in the turkey leg I started my new TR, I know life is chaos right now so I don't expect you over there BUT if you have some downtime it was a really great trip with lots of wonderful Christmas decorations No rush though! I understand that you are a busy lady!

I got some great news today! I got A's in all my classes this semester It was a lot of work but totally worth it.

 

[p00h4me]

Tracy, So good to hear about Emile's progress and pray that he continues to get to the point he gets to go home before Christmas so that you can be there to hold and cuddle him while visiting your sister and her family!


Judy, It was a long day yesterday of driving, shopping, picking up my sister from the airport and making the long drive back home. Made it an early night after unpacking the truck and putting things away. Had a light snack for dinner. Nobody was really hungry.

I wanted you to look at a couple of e-mails that I sent you and need an answer to.

Glad you and Lisa are both feeling better. You need to be well before your trip with Tracy! I can't imagine 6 hours of Spongbob. Happy to provide a bit of distraction with my call but know that day of rest was good for you both!

Prayers for a healthy rest of the year for everyone here!

Great job on all A's Courtney!

 

[emmysmommy]

Hi Judy. I am hopelessly behind but I wanted to get caught up and let you know that I'm thinking of you. What a Friday the 13th. I'm so sorry for the one thing after another. Your positive attitude through everything reminds me of the verse in Job that says "though He slay me yet will I trust Him." I pray for better days.

Tracy: What great news about Emile. He will be the best little Christmas gift if he is able to make it home by then. All 5+ precious little pounds.

 

[DisNorth]

Judy! Hope you and Lisa are feeling better and starting feel like Christmas!

Tracy, what fantastic news about Emile! He's doing so very well and seems to be growing like a weed!

Christmas seems to have snuck up on me this year too. I didn't even get our Christmas decorations out until this past weekend which is unlike me.

He is growing like a weed, seems like every day he's gaining an oz or more!
I put up my Christmas lights a few week ago but I haven't asked my sister if they have even got a tree, so I might be putting up a tree at their house on Christmas Eve, eek. I seriously haven't got any of them presents, though. :eek

Oh, Tracy, I am so happy to hear that Emile will be going home soon! How wonderful!!

Praying it's soon, but who knows really. Its the little steps that gets him closer and closer, though, like being over 5lbs.

Hoping your SIL recovers quickly and hoping you have a very Merry Christmas!

Glad they will sleep. I'm had some pretty dramatic battles with my eldest niece at bed time and I'm glad I don't have to do it on Christmas eve.
It is good that all you have to get you know exactly what you need. Maybe you could do my shopping for me
Cousins are fun! Hope you have a great Saturday turkey with the in laws!

Thanks, every step close to going home is good, even if he doesn't make it home for Christmas.
Good job on your grades, glad the hard work is paying off!

Tracy, So good to hear about Emile's progress and pray that he continues to get to the point he gets to go home before Christmas so that you can be there to hold and cuddle him while visiting your sister and her family!

Thanks. I talked to my sister today and see was a little down, because she doesn't think Emile will be released by Christmas. But I told her it is better safe than sorry and he is progressing in the right direction.

Tracy: What great news about Emile. He will be the best little Christmas gift if he is able to make it home by then. All 5+ precious little pounds.

Thanks. My sister is worried that he won't be home for Christmas, but even if he isn't he is growing doing good, that is the important thing!

 

[KatMark]

Tracy, s glad to heart that Emile will be going home soon.

 

[happybelle]

Judy, Praying you and Lisa really are getting better and there haven't been any more setbacks. I know those who care understand why you can't be here right now, just know you are being lifted up.

 

[Piper]

Tracy, tell your sister to have everything she needs to bring him home with her at every visit. I got to take Bonnie home because the doctor had just made his daily visit and cleared her. They didn't bother to call me and tell me. It was my "assigned" 15 minutes to look at her through the glass and the nurse said, "Oh too bad you don't have her clothes with you. She has been cleared to leave. Now you'll have to wait until tomorrow." Not---I had everything with me (I took them because I knew she was the weight they specified so I had them just in case--paid off!)

Cousins are fun! Hope you have a great Saturday turkey with the in laws!

We have battles almost nightly here. Unless the kids had a very busy day then they go right to sleep Like today. No naps for my 3 year old and Sarah and I had a Leader/Daughter Celebrations for Girl Scouts tonight so she got worn out from that. I just plan on keeping them busy on Christmas Even so they go to sleep quicker.

Yeah it is nice to know exactly what I need to get so I don't spend any extra time in the stores. Don't need the temptations. If I wasn't so tired I'd go shopping for anyone. I love shopping and don't mind the crowds most of the time.

Thanks! I'm going to need all the luck I can get!!

 

[blessedmom4]

Robyn, Tracy, Camille, Lisa, wiigirl, Amy (Praying for your SIL), Sandra, Courtney, Gail, Brenda and Belle, I want to Thank you for the prayers and good wishes for Lisa and I to get well. I hesitate to say anybody is getting better, that seems to not bode well each time I do, so I will say Lisa had a better day the past two. She has therapy this AM and an MD appt. I have a fever, so I will be in a mask, attempting to breathe. I actually have an MD appt for me this afternoon. I KNOW I owe several of you emails and PMs, I am truly sorry, I just don’t have the capacity to type or think a lot. Praying for those who need it.

 

[p00h4me]

to you Judy. Praying that your doctor will be able to prescribe something to make you feel better sooner. Get as much rest as you can. Keeping Lisa in prayer and the rest of the family.

Tracy, still believe that Emile will get to go home by Christmas!

 

[happybelle]

Judy, I just wanted to make sure I told you I am praying for you and sending good thoughts your way for you and Lisa to be well for Christmas and that no one else gets sick.

 

[mickeystoontown]

Again, Judy, we appreciate you stopping in for a minute and filling us in on what's happening in your part of the world. I can certain understand the hesitation on saying that Lisa is getting better. Hopefully, your MD appointment goes well and they figure out what's going on with you and why you are running a fever.

I know that you are extremely busy and may not get around to checking PMs or emails and I'm sure that you won't receive the notification in the mail before the holidays. So I'll just post there that, as your Christmas gift, my family made a donation to Give Kids The World in honor of your family. Love ya'll!

Wow, good thing you had clothing with you!
We know he won't be released before Monday. My sister has 'training' on Monday with the cardiologist so that she can monitor Emile after he goes home. They do have to do a car seat test too. But I will tell her to be prepared!

I love sleep, I wish I got more of it, I don't know why kids make such an issue out of it. But wearing them out is the best way to do it!!

I am still secretly hopping for Monday or Tuesday release but won't let myself get disappointed if it's not to be.

 

[nannye]

I'm hoping the weekend brings Lisa lots of rest so she can continue to improve. Is it her heart wreaking havoc or a virus?

Soon you will be sunning yourselves. I know some Florida sunshine and Disney magic will be the best medicine, for all of you!

 

[kaoden39]

Thoughts and prayers to all.

 

[petals]

I totally missed this starting. Haven't been paying attention to Dis lately bit distracted with stuff.

Luvin Lisa's witch costume very colourful! and the Rockstar vampire look Rachel is pulling is just cool


Hope you all have a fab Christmas
