Another doctor appointment

We are hoping to get in to see the oncoloist and urologist August 3. This has been a roller coaster of a ride with him too. And it is amazing how a family physican will drag their feet when it comes to making a referral. I'm trying really hard not to call them and ask them what is the problem..are they so busy that they can't make this appointment? They have a nurse that does only referrals. So hopefully this will get done this week and we can get into the see the specialist next month.
Nancy, you hit the nail on the head. Just when I thought that I had it figured out what is going on with AD something else happens. Momma seems so depressed this week. And nothing that you say or do helps. She just sits and stares out into space. Saying nothing just looking, no emotions, nothing. Sad as it is, knowing that there is nothing that no one can do.
I hope that everyone is having a good week...take care and as always.. peace, love and happiness...

Doctor's appointment

We went to Savannah Friday to the surgeon and he told us that the aneurysm is 4 cm in diameter and that he is not worried about doing surgery at this time. I told him about the family physican telling him that about having prostrast cancer and he said that he needs to take care of the immediately. I am hoping to get him in to the see the Urologist and the Oncologist next week. Daddy is in really good spirits with everything that is going on.
Momma is having a really bad week. She has moments that she just gets in a little world of her own. Sad. All week when I have been there, she has been in a zone and I have to call her 3 or 4 times to get her to answer me. I just don't know anything any more. I thought that she better and in reality, she will not get better. There is no miracle drug for ALZ. I try to remain positive. I try to keep a smile on my face especially when I'm around her. I just hope this is a phase. I wonder sometimes, she is going into another stage with ALZ? It seems like a puzzle and everytime you think that you it completed, then something or someone comes along and takes it apart and you have to start all over again. Does that make sense? It breaks my heart to see her like this. Nothing that I can do but watch and pray that she knows that I am here, no matter what.
Me and David have been trying to finish the porch. It started out to be a weekend project that has turned into a 2 month job. We are hoping to put the top on it tomorrow. David has worked really hard, trying to get it completed. It is 16 x 16 ft. It has been a job!!!
Well, Scoot Noodle is just as sweet as he can be. He is laying here next to me while I am checking e-mail and posting. David calls him our mini horse. He is just as cute as can be. He is so spoiled. And funny thing is, he barks and bays like Lil Bit. He is too funny. And the girls get along with him until they are ready to go to bed and then they want him to leave them along.
I hope that everyone has a great week ...take care and always..peace, love and happiness!!

Ummmmmm....and a new Scoot Noodle

Sorry that it has been so long since my last post. It has just been crazy. Back and forth to the hospital with Daddy every other day. He is still having alot of problems with his lungs and we finally got an appointment with the surgeon in Savannah for the aneurysm in his stomach. We will be traveling there next Friday to see the doctor. And then hopefully we will be seeing the doctor for the prostrate in the next few weeks.
Momma is doing really well. I really don't know how to explain it. The doctor put her on some medicine that just did not agree with her and I had to call and tell him that it just was not going to work. Momma did not even know that she was in the world. Now that she is off of it, she is so much better. And her mind seems so much clearer.
We have Noah and Haley over the holidays and they are both doing great. We went to Atlanta to suprise David's parents for their anniversay. His mother was so suprised and even more suprised when they seen Noah and Haley. They had so much fun at their Mawma's and PawPa's house. Haley is ready to go back. Yes, they spoil them too. Noah is talking so much now. He is just too sweet. Bethany and Stephen are growing up so fast. And Ms. Bethany aka the Princess is so adorable. I will have to post a few pictures of them when I get a chance.
Okay to explain the Scoot Noodle. Scoot is a new puppy. I found him in the middle of US 23 when me and Daddy were headed home from the hospital 2 Sundays' ago. He was walking down the middle of the highway and I was so scared that he was going to get ran over. When I stopped and called him to me, he was whinning and thin. I give him a Milk Bone dog biscuit and I become his NEW best friend. I picked him up and brought him home. David was not too happy that I was bringing home another animal. Keep in mind that we have 7 dogs already. But he was not too mad when I told him where I found him. Now, it is like he has been here all of this life. And he is too cute. He is solid black with a small patch of white on his breast bone. He has long legs and his tails curls. Strange huh? And he got him a new red pawn print collar. The girls were none too happy with this addition to the family but they have grown to tolerate him. And I use the word tolerate, cautionly. Some days they like him, some days they done. He loves to aggravate them when they are trying to sleep but then they will get up and play with him. He is a sweet noddle.
Work is going good. Staying busy.
I will post when we find out what is going on with Daddy next week. I hope that everyone has a great week. Peace, love and happiness....
