Prayers Please

Things haven't been going as well as we were hoping for with my grandpa. He has had a mild heart attack and the cardiologist doesn't know what is happening yet. His heart looks ok, no damage done that they could tell. He has been in a lot of pain and they are trying to keep him comfortable. So please pray for comfort for him. I don't know what direction things will go, we just want him to be out of pain. Thanks a lot and I hope things will be better the next time I blog!

Good News

Surgery was successful on my grandpa's hip! He is recovering and we will take it day by day. When he leaves the hospital he will go to a rehab facility for maybe 3-6 weeks. Thanks for the continued prayers and I will update all if there is any new news. Other than that Zoe has been great these past few days. She is talking so much now and putting about 4 words together. I cannot believe how fast she has grown!!

Update

My grandpa will be having surgery on his hip tomorrow morning at 7:30. I just pray that it goes well because he has been through so much!

Time Away

This weekend Corey's parents kept Zoe over Saturday night so Corey and I could have a date night. It was a good time and we really are thankful to have them so we can enjoy some time away. She has been wanting to be more and more independent, which has been causing more meltdowns! I never really knew what the terrible two's were until now! It is a whole new learned experience. She will be great one minute and then on the floor so upset the next. And I never know what is going to trigger her! The funny thing is she is so good around others, but when she is with me or Corey it happens. I just pray that we can get through Disney without any major meltdowns!! On a sadder note, Saturday night as my grandparents were getting ready for bed, my grandpa fell. My family decided to get him to the er and we found out last night that he has broken his hip. I just feel for him so much, after all he has been through! He can't catch a break. An orthopedic surgeon will be in today to discuss what will need to happen. He has a broken hand from the last fall and they wouldn't operate because he hasn't been in great health. So please say a prayer for him. I don't know what is going to happen. I will update soon.

Been a While. . .

Well, it's been a while since my last post because there is not much new going on with us. Which I think is a good thing, not much stress! My grandpa is doing very good at home. We are still currently thinking about assisted living care for them. I am just very thankful that he is better! Zoe is doing well. She has been having a tough time with a cold and her 2 year molars are trying to work their way out. I know it's painful. When we can get tylenol in her she feels much better but she says she doesn't like it. So it's hard to give it to her! She has been calling my father in law Doodad which is hilarious to hear her say it!! He is actually Grandad and she was saying it already. I have no idea why she is saying this now but it's cute! Here is a pic of her tonight while we were playing. Oh, and we have about 4 more weeks till Disney!! We can't wait!

Good : )

Things feel like they are getting much better! My grandpa is doing very good. His MRI came back good and his foot is healing. Hopefully he can go home tomorrow and begin his road to recovery. It's so hard to watch your grandparents go through this. Going from being so independent to having to rely on your family to take care of things. I hope I can take it well when Zoe is trying to deal with us!!
We are loving her new daycare! They are so good to her and she seems very happy. When I pick her up and ask her how school was and she says "Good!" I think it's neat, they have a Spanish teacher that comes in 2 days a week and teaches them. She also is doing the Tumble Bus and they say she plays so hard on it! It is the best feeling when you know your child is in good hands while you are busy at work!
Friends of ours just had their adoption pass through court so they get to go get their little boy in a few weeks. Then we have had 2 other great friends give birth to healthy boys! Lot's of babies!! It's all so wonderful! Not to mention, we are going to Disney World in less than 6wks!! Here is a picture of Zoe goofing around with my Halloween headband!

Fun Weekend!

On Halloween night we all went trick or treating at our friends Rick and Cheri's house. Zoe and my nephew Parker love their son Matthew so they wanted to go with him. We had a great time, Zoe would walk right up to the houses and say trick or treat then thank you. It was really cute! Here are some pics of them that night.





We also dressed up at work that day. We got some cute halloween head bands with spiders on them. So we called ourselves funky witches. It was fun, and the puppy is Shadow, Tiffany from works dog. The dogs were so cute, we had a baseball player and a football player!




On Saturday we had our families annual soup cook off. It was a great turn out and We had 9 different soups to taste! The winners were Cheri and her chicken noodle soup and my uncle Doug's spinach soup. It was really good to get to see my dads family. There are so many of us that we just don't get to get together much.





Later that night we went to a friends Halloween party. Corey made his own costume as usual and he was a breathalyzer. It was quite amusing! Tiffany from work came with us and we had a good time. All though I do feel like a mom! I can't hang with everybody so late like I used too!!




My grandpa was put back in the hospital on Friday by his doctor. They had taken him down to his office to show him how my grandpa was acting. He took one look at him and knew that something was wrong. It was such a relief to know that he finally believed us. It took several days to convince his doctor. It was so frustrating! On Sat we found out that my grandpa had a urinary tract infection which is what was causing him to act so different! I can't believe something like that can alter a person so much! Towards the end he had no idea who anybody was. They started antibiotics and by Sat night he was coming around. My mom , Zoe and I went to see him yesterday at the hospital. It was so nice to see him getting back to normal! He does have a broken hand from falling one night and they found a brain bleed, so we are now waiting to hear what will happen from this point on. The slow road to recovery. What a long few weeks!



To top off our weekend my parents surprised us with our Christmas present. They are taking all of us to Disney the week before Christmas!! We just can't believe it and are so excited! It will be so much fun! I haven't been since I was 9! I can't wait! It's only 6 weeks away!
