Rock on, Deb!! That's awesome!!

I talked to my brother tonight, and the dr had come in and talked to SIL today. He told her that if Blythe had to have a cranial bleed at stage 3, this is the "best case situation". He basically said that they could see clotting in the scan (which hopefully means it's stopping) and that he gave her a "75% chance of being just fine, with no developmental problems". He mentioned no other bad scenario as an option. There is another scan on Monday! Please continue to send prayers and pixie dust their way--it's definitely working!! Deb, I'm with you--my bestest buddies live in this box!!

Sounds like a "Good News" Afternoon!!

Deb got the shift she wanted, MM2000 got her extra hours and Drs say Blythe is one tough cookie!!!


Christy - the fair went OK. thanks for asking. DDs pig ended up weighing in at 222 which is lightweight. danged picky eaters! She was 5th in her market class out of 10 and 8th in the finals of junior showmanship. Auction prices were way down - but Grandma and Grandpa bought that hog to be sure she at least broke even on her project.

Next fair - September - she wants to try a market lamb. We shall see.

I give up on the office stuff for today. American Idol starts in 10 minutes and I'm beat. Very good day on the job front, DH is almost gainfully employed! Should be by tomorrow!!

And tomorrow is a new day.

I whole heartily agree that my best friends are in this box.

SIOH, continued thoughts and prayers for Blythe, her Mama, Papa, and wonderful auntie too. My heart just breaks for what she and you all are going through.

Deb, congratulations on getting the shift you want and a raise.

Joyah and Buffy

Tinkryansmom, congrats to DD for her little piggy! 222 sounds like a good size piggy to me. Now what are Grandma and Grandpa going to do with their little piggy?

Tough day on our home front. MomE's husband is getting even more difficult, told the dr not to tell my mother anything about his condition, demanded to talk to an attorney to change his living will (he just had one done two months ago), thinks he got up last evening on his own, sad part is he is totally immobile now. He will most likely be transferred to a hospice tomorrow or Friday.

My to do list:

Feed cats
write in DD's communication book
get DD up and ready for school
caffeinate
work - very unusual day at work
call vet
Meeting w/ Behavior Analyst
Check on MomE

My message blipped! Ugh!

Deb- congrats. I'm over the moon excited for you. I just knew that if you hung in there long enough something good would happen.

Christy- I thought about you most of the day. Hope you are ok.

Pixieflip. Good news about dh. Fingers crossed.

Awm how ya feeling?

Jennifer. Boo hiss on extra hours. But glad you can pick them up as needed.

Still keeping Blythe in my thoughts.

Trm thanks for the fair update.

Pbf is the job almost over? How did your ds make out with the test?

Stephanie good for you on the scrap job at work!! Lucky you!!

Nan is the work on the house almost done?

I hope I did not forget anyone if I did so sorry. It's been a long week and it's only half over.

And i agree my best friends are in this box!!!!

I'm so sorry to hear that Lisa. They say sometimes people that are really sick dont know what else to do but lash out on the people that mean the most to them. Please give her a hug from me. It has got to be soooo hard for her.

 

[party of 3]

And did I miss why and where Buffy went???
Dc????
With her family ??

 

[Lisa]

Thanks, Holly, I'll pass on the hug.

Buffy is chaperoning DS13's school trip to DC.

 

[joyah]

Lisa for you and momE. It is so hard. I'm sure the dr realizes where he's at and is ignoring his requests. It would hopefully be appartent to any lawyer as well. I saw so much of this when we owned the pharmacy, we'd be accused of trying to posion them, or god forbid the pills changed colors cause it was a different mfg. Hang in there I will keep you all in my prayers.


Holly I figured it was your strength carring me through the day. It's got to be someones cause I'm out. I need everyone one of those thoughts and prayers as we inch closer to the services.

thank you just doesn't seem enough for all the support/hugs from you all but it's the best I've got.

 

[PrincessNancy96]

Lisa, to MomE... it's such a difficult road she is on..but with you by her side she'll make it thru.... just remind mom he is talking out of his mind.... (Grandpa & Grandma did the same thing to us.. it really hurt my dad when my grandparents thought I was their daughter and wouldn't listen to their own children but only me...however, I did talk to the kids and suggested what they wanted not what I wanted)....


PO3: The entry way is one door frame short of being complete (minus hanging the wall decorations)... The family room is one door frame short of being complete...The hallway is still waiting on the flooring guy to return.. if he doesn't return tonight, Mike is taking a check down and paying for the supplies and the entry way (1/2 of original quote) and tellin' him to fly!! Me, I don't want to be so nice....but I don't want to cause a war either so I'll let the diplomat do the job.... The hallway is painted...but needs 6 door frames done... we can do that Friday night...

Thanks for asking...

 

[PinballFamily]

Holly - thanks for asking!

ONE MORE DAY ON THE JOB! Whew! People (supervisors) are getting kinda snarky at each other and the atmosphere is changing a bit - not so much fun with the crankiness and pettiness. Another guy (a retired gentleman) who started on the same day as I did is fed up too. We are both SO glad we're outta there tomorrow!

DS's reading evaluation got rescheduled for Monday - I'll let y'all know how we make out.

 

[ZeroToHero]

Hey - anyone who has Hartford Fox broadcast into their home - Lou and I are going to be on TV! You probably won't see much of either of us, but in the next few weeks, watch out for a clip on Codzilla. I'll let you know when it's supposed to air, and put up the link to the online video when I get it!

 

[Lisa]

I get Fox. Let me know, Danica, when it is going to air.

 

[ZeroToHero]

Okay! I should hear soon.
