Lots has happened in the last couple days. My good friend had a baby girl. We took her oldest daughter Rhyan for the day a few days after baby Kacy came home to give mom and dad a bit of rest:) We had fun!!!! Pool time, movie, crafts, bath, lunch and dinner. The girls had a blast together. The worst part of the day for everyone was dropping Rhyan off:( Ty started on the those little biter nubby things....he isn't the brightest crayon in the box cause he can't figure out how to get it into his mouth...lol. But I hear boys are slower and so I am giving him a break cause of his wang. Apparently, most of the blood flow is to that area in boys instead of their brains:) Then Lex and I made brownies one day. She used to call brownies "poop...uck" and wouldn't try them....so we just call them "brown cookies" and she liked the batter more than the cooked stuff. We have ourselves another thumb sucker. Ty just started this week. Lex sucked her thumb at 10 weeks old. Ty is 6 months old tomorow on the 11th, school is gonna be rough for him;) But he is cute, so hopefully that will carry him far. There was a massive storm here and it was so intense for 5 mins. Almost scary. Trees were uprooted, cars damaged by hail, power lines downed, some roofs destroyed....it was crazy!!!! Lex had a blast and I let her go out after it calmed down. As john's grandfather said it best "she doesn't walk anywhere does she?"....no Pa she doesn't
My dad is trying really hard to stay positive in the hospital but its hard cause his heart rate is so high that they have him on bed rest. My father does not do well being told he can't walk around. He can't even go to the bathroom without telling someone. Obviously, this is for his saftey but it still sucks for him. His heartrate is still high so they are trying a beta blocker called Metoparol (sp?). His blood pressure tanked yesterday...90/48 so they said he couldn't go home yet. He has been referred to hospice but has not been given a terminal diagnosis. This just means that while my dad is at home, for 90 days he will get a nurse to visit him and make sure he is comfortable and fill prescriptions if needed. If they feel he still needs hospice after the 90 days he has to reapply. He will also have a nurse available to call if he has any questions or just doens't feel right. Hospice is actually a rockin deal!!! You get all the amenities the hospital has to offer but get to be in your own home!!!
He did get to see his parents brother, and nephew yesterday. He said he had a nice visit filled with lots of sarcasm and laughs. Those poor nurses and cna's on duty when they were there:)lol. Anyways, the picture of me and my dad is just my dad being silly. He still has a hell of a sense of humor. I love his wit.
