Just a quick drive by

thanks Linda for putting the thoughts and prayers out to my dis family. I really can't remmeber who I've told what to.

Nan is still hanging in but slowly slipping away hasn't opened her eyes at all today. Nothing to eat or drink since friday. Dr has ordered the meds if she needs them but she seems comfortable enough without. I'm in a daze. I just keep asking my papa to come take her home. I cry at the drop of a hat and sometimes it's hard to breathe. I pray it's not me shes waiting for......if shes still here in the am I'm going to ask mom to put the phone to her ear so I can tell her one last time I love her and it's okay to go.

on a happy note we've added a new 4 legged family member Jewel is a treeing walker coonhound. I will eventually post a pic or 2 of her. Since she is an outside dog she's hanging out in the barn

I'm headed for bed and hopefully will sleep.

thank you all for your thoughts and prayers it's going to be a long week at this rate.

Hugs, Christy! Sleep well, my friend.

Christy, that would probably be the best gift you can give her, as hard as it for you.

MomE (and Lisa) survived her surgery so well, she MAY get to come home tonight!

Yeah, that didn't happen. The dr and I knew she wouldn't be up for going home today but Mom was determined until she woke from the surgery. Bless her. She will be discharged tomorrow.

We left the house at 5:00 am to be at the hospital at 5:30. I got about two miles from my house and said, "oh, sugar, I am driving". I am not supposed to drive in the dark. oops. So I pulled over, we switched drivers and went on our merry way. We all were so distracted this morning that none of us realized what was happening as we left the house.

Mom's surgery was text book. The doctor was pleased on how it proceeded and he feels her recovery will be a couple of days. She has until next Thursday to rest so she can get on the plane for the sunshine state.

So besides hanging out at the hospital all day, we also had Special Olympic swim. Yes, we finally had swim since before Christmas. I had the volunteers Christmas gifts and told them now it was Merry Christine Day!
