can you believe this one: Sean and Lisa are having a boy! Jeremy and Mindy are due any day now and we do not know what it is but out of 10 grandkids 7 are boys and 2 are girls and one undetermined. Isn't that funny how that works. I guess good thing dad didn't raise any prissy girls :).... It's just wild to have all that testerone running around we are all together - poor Olivia and Lydia they have no chance of growing up prissy.
Dad is having just an okay day. His blood suger is high, so he isn't feeling 100%, they are keeping a chart of his suger counts so we can take to the doctor on Thursday. Hopefully they can give him something to take so he doesn't feel so bad. He has visitors over there now, which he enjoys and it gets your mind off things. He did have a great day yesterday and mom said they went to church last night and he did really well. So it comes and goes. He did change pain medicine for a couple of days until we see the doctor because since he started taking his other one every three hours he was running out, so the doctor prescribed him some morphine. He hasn't taken it yet, and hopefully he doesn't have to but whatever helps him with the pain.
It's very hard to watch someone you love and especially your father, who has always been this big strong guy to be in so much pain and not be able to do anything about it. It's like when your baby is sick and he cries and cries all night but you dont' know how to help because they can't talk and you just pray to God that everything will be alright and for the child to be out of pain. That is one of my many prayers at night, is just to not have dad be in pain and to suffer, what fun is that. No one likes to be in pain.
Just a little humor from Jeff Foxworthy: " You may be a redneck if you have to go outside to get something out of the 'fridge."
Enjoy this weather, hopefully it isn't a teaser and winter is over - I am ready for Spring and for new beginnings.....
Much love to all, (Keep on hoping)
Michele- We saw your Mom and Dad at church Monday night. Uncle Tom, Aunt Joy and Aunt Diane are going Wednesday to visit. I had gotten the blessing for the sick at Mass on Sunday and had promised to rub the oil on Bill's forehead when I saw him. At the Sign of Peace, we bumped foreheads; let's hope it works! Thanks for your continued updates. We always check for them. Aunt Diana oxoxo
ReplyDeleteCongratulations to Lisa and Sean!!! Lydia can be the big sister to him just like you girls were to Sean and Jeremy! Since Jeremy and Mindy don't know what they're having yet, just maybe Olivia and Lydia could have a little girl cousin! Keep the updates coming and tell your dad we are sure Captain Chemo will be tackling all the bad cells they come across!!

Hi Michele,
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for keeping the blog updated. Just wanted you to know Lisa and I are going to Florida to see Mom and Dad. We're leaving this Saturday and will be there until Friday, 2/20. I'm hoping between the nine kids, they'll always be at least one of us down there with them. Dad's not having a very good day today. He's in lots of pain and is still having trouble walking. They removed fluid from his abdomen on Monday morning but not sure that's helped much. He's also on pain pills and just received the other medicine today so hopefully that will help shrink the tumors. Keep your fingers crossed and say an extra prayer!
Love,
Theresa
tTheresa & Lisa, Have a safe trip. Tell mom & dad we are all praying for them.Hope to see them sooner than later. cookie
