whats new

Well, mom and dad are hanging in there. Dad has been in a lot of pain due to his 3 broken ribs he aquired during his fall. The pacemaker went in really good and all looks good there. Mom is doing fine. She is tired and triing to adjust to all the liquid they got off of her last weekend, (about 30 lbs), I wish I could loose 30lbs that easy. It has been difficult for her to get her blood levels back in sinc since then, but I think she is well on her way. Thanks to you all for your prayers and thoughts.

update on mom and dad

Ok, Mom got out of Hospital today. She is with me. Dad is schedueled to have a pacemaker put in tomorrow at 9:30 am. Hope he will go home on Wednesday. Rumor has it he will not be able to drive for 2 weeks. I will find out more on that tomorrow. He did break 3 ribs in his fall, and he has some heart damage as well. Also, he is working on congestive heart failure. I beleive they have it pretty much under control though.

mom and dad

For those of you who do not know, Mom went into the hospital today with difficult breathing and a UTI. She is on anti-biotics and they have done a culture to find out exactally what the bug is. After Dad got her checked in, he was sitting on a stool next to her bed and fell off the stool. He hit his head and stopped breathing. His heart did not stop. They bagged him, got him breathing and with the head injury they took him in for a CT. They found no bleeding. They were keeping him for a couple hours for observation and he started to complain about chest pain.
They did an xray and decided to admit him as well. They want to get a better xray tomorrow as well as an MRI. Thank you Scott and Russ and Carl and wifes for being there to take care of them. We will keep you posted. Thanks for your thoughts and prayers.

messed up

Ok so I think my blog is messed up. I have no idea what I have done with it. I do have a blog that will not post. And the one that I just posted, well, it would not let me tell my story.
Here is my story, maybe it will let me post this.
We had to go to the Library today. We had a couple books on request that had come in. The girls decided they wanted to ride out bike there. After much thinking, I decided that it would be ok. We did have a couple busy roads to travel, so I had to figure out how would be the best way to get there. I finally figured it out. Oh yeah, It is about 3 miles to the library and there was a big black cloud hanging around. We decided to go anyway. And we took pics to prove that we actully made it. While we were there we put a couple more books on request that should arive tomorrow. The girls had such a good time today, that they think they want to ride bikes there again tomorrow. We will see what tomorrow brings. We also rode home past Wendy's mom's house and did some yard work while we were there. Karley was not very happy about the yard work, but she survived.
