Good bye! I hope never to see you again but thank you for the high quality of care and respect you gave my dad and my mom in some of the darkest times we have had.

the final sopranos.........

what, huh...... how can you have a cliff hanger.........wait a minute..........I dare to say, no, maybe, naaaaaa, well, a movie?

dad update

wow what a day! I had to take pooh to the airport this morning. I missed her the second she went through the security line in the sand. I waited and we did great very little tears but as soon as she made it through the gauntlet and only a wall of glass was between us........... man! sooo popo. felt like a movie, with the wall of glass, us on cell phones, her walking away, popo I say! anyway enough mush! sorry about the turbulence sug. (what movie did you see?) I knew you could do it without grabbing your neighbors arm.

dad had a early operation to sewn him up (thank god) he has had an open wound for almost a month, crazy. he had some sort of fungus infection maybe a form of yeast throught his body that was giving him such a hard time with fevers and fits. he still is in and out of making sense. the more tired he is the more he acts out his dreams. he said some funny stuff about squirrls yesterday. he is still hooked up to a few things but when I got here he had around 6 or 7 tubes and drains in him. now we have to wait and see if he gets any infections now that he is back together. now he has to eat real food and build up his strength. a good case of the mind is hungrier than the belly. he ordered a pizza, egg salad, chocolate ice cream, a bagel and cream cheese WITH cherry jelly, cream of wheat WITH lite sugar, and TWO cookies. he ate some ice cream in the cream of wheat, looked gross and he said it tasted like it was made with bleach water! him eating drives mom nuts. speaking of mom. mom is beat today. she is a little loopy and is almost a walking zombie. at first when I got back she was doing back flips but this afternoon, sleeping sitting up in a hospital chair. I have to find away to kill her cell phone! rings off the hook all the time. now comes the hard part for us. dad has to exercise! does he want to, heck no! or he thinks he has already done it and he gets so mad! I think his frustration level is through the roof, and mom gets the most of it. He did have a long day today so lets hope he gets some rest tonight.

I can't believe I am going to miss wee's second set of pics and heart beat! "it"(wee) isn't even here and I love "it" big time! I better get a video!!!!!! you at home take good care of sugar for me, make sure she takes her pill and NO pooh NO cleaning of the liter box! nub pooh and I miss my athens and Ga. family.

effective immediately........

my missing pooh level is a super through the roof high!

warning

Pooh is on her way home!

muxico bandwagon

from old mexico to new mexico

well I have been givin my first life curve ball. I guess it is my dad who is really swinging. I am just a first base coach at best. for those who don't know my dad is in the hospital here in santa fe nm. he has been in icu for 13 and a half days and now has been moved to pcu, and has had a tough time. his colon ruptured and he had to have emergency surgery. his highest white cell count so far has been 41, normal is 10 to 12. right now he is at 25 to 31 depend on the fevers he is having. I got to see the wound today and it is in the shape of south america but reversed. I had gotten used to the way he acted with all of the drugs he has been on, but today he was coming down from a 103 fever and was in a state of delirium. he has always been proper and and aware of his surroundings in the past and today he was jerking around and in a state in between dream and awake, acting out his dreams, very unsettling. in the past he had said funny stuff like there was a radio in the air vent that was keeping him up at night, and he asked mom if we killed the yellow bird on the fence outside.
mom is doing good she has her weak moments as do I but not as bad as before I got to see him and talk with him. pooh is my rock I really lucked up with her in my life she always can read my mental state and gets me through the hard times. pooh got to see him for the first time today. he had stated that he didn't want to see her because of all of the bugs in the hospital might hurt her and the baby. but now that he was in a new room he said it was ok (no bugs in this room he told me). on a side note....
pooh is ok ,I am scared sometimes because she has a hair grumpy trigger that puts my life in danger. she is good though other than the nausea and getting tired quickly. sooo cute dangit!
dad is going for his 5th ct scan today to look for pockets of infection and drain them when they find them. I just want him sewn up. having that big of a wound really is scary to me. it is probably 10 inches wide and from his breast bone to his waist line.
2 steps forward one back is the saying, I know. thanks to everyone in athens (team leggett, lauren, and big creeses)looking after the house and pets and to my other parents (the w's) for letting me have pooh out here and keeping our children safe and over treated (dog cookies). and thank god that I have a job were they let me be with my mom and dad out here and not worry about getting fired or getting in trouble, they are my family too and I am thankful for them as well.
I am ready for dad to be well and to be at home. we miss home. we got to smell georgia air (in the airport) for around 4 hours and came out here. we had a around an 18 hour travel day that day from mexico to santa fe. we got a jeep liberty with one of those gps tom tom thingys (really cool haven't gotten lost yet)(also it is a garmin where2) they are really good on gas too. gas here is $3.47 fyi.
I know I am having a lotus knits blog entry so I will end it here. thanks for all of the kind words and prayers.
