Newsy Post
I know, I know, I haven't updated in months! Life is crazy busy! So where have we been?
Well, for those of you who don't know, my Gpa got sick at the end of October. He ended up having Ecoli that went into his blood. Yeah, no good. After a week in the hospital, he was transferred to a rehab/nursing home facility to recover. After a week of being there, he fell three times in one day, the last fall putting him back in the hospital. He was very out of it in the hospital and not himself at all. We found out later that it was an effect of all the heavy meds they had him on. His primary dr found out all the meds the ER dr had him on and got him off of them right away. He slept for almost a day straight, but when he woke up, he was back to himself! :) My family said "miracle", I say GOD! :) So, he went back to the nursing home to regain strength. As you can imagine, he had lost almost all his strength. Praise God the Ecoli is gone!
I tracked out during all of this and was dying to see him. My family and I took turns going down to spread out the help, so I finally got my turn and we headed down the weekend before Thanksgiving. We got to bring him home from nursing home the day after we arrived! Every day we were there he got a little stronger, and by the end of the week, he was getting up on his own and trying to walk without a walker! :) He is still battling weakness and low blood pressure, so keep praying! Gma has an infection now, so pray for her too. She's at home and on meds, so pray the meds work. The first set didn't do the trick...
We've been back about a week now and have been running like mad! I went back to work Thursday & Friday for workdays and get to see the kids again tomorrow. Tis the season for lots of parties, too! Fun stuff! I was so excited that in between events yesterday, I got to stop by and meet little Zoe. She's absolutely beautiful and the tiniest baby I've ever seen! She's so alert! Dan and Casey are SUCH good parents!
And now for the big news of the week!!!! Jeremy got his official acceptance letter into the PhD program!!!! SO proud of him!
Sorry to bore you with a newsy post, but now that everyone's caught up, I'll try to be a better blogger! Gotta run...I have 6 pound of ground beef to fry. Hehehehe
