Grandbabies in for the weekend

The grandbabies were here for the weekend. We had a wonderful time. We grilled at our home Saturday afternoon and then we were at Momma and Daddy's Sunday for a family dinner, which was so much fun. We eat, I washed dinner dishes (there were not to many) and then gathered in the den and watched family movies when we were young adults. And then movies of when I children were celebrating Chirstmas many years ago at out parents house. Some moments were light hearted and others that just tugged at your heart. These are the movies in which Momma was doing great. Walking, talking with great sense..and now she is confined to a wheelchair. And we are very lucky that she knows us on a day to day basis, The house was full of ooo's and aww's while watching these. And a few tears. My boys were so young and now they have babies...lol. It was so much fun watching the grands run around and play. Haley was on her bike the time that they got here. And she rode it all weekend long. Noah played with his "CARS' cars that he got from his Granny Thompson. I have pics that I will post later when I get a chance. I have one that is so good of my daughter in law and Haley.

News on BIL- he was in hospital for 2 days battling diabetes. Yes, he has diabetes. And was put in because the doctors could not get his sugar to go down. He has lost all of his hair and he is having a rough time eating. He has been nauseous and is taking meds for that at the moment. He is no having Radiation -5 times a week and Chemo- 3 days a week and going on Friday to take a Chemo shot. Then he is going to see his family physican on Saturday. Alot of doctors' appointments in one week.

Mom is having a good well. The knot on her neck is not giving he as much pain as it has been in the past few weeks. I hope that everyone has a great week. Take care...peace, love and happiness...

Saturday with the grandbabies

We decided around noon Saturday to go and see the grands. It was about a 3 hour drive but well worth it. Noah has learned so many new words since we have seen him. David loves that he can say "PAPA". We miss them both so much. BIL is having a rough time this week. He has been going for both Chemo and radiation and he is weak. He is not eating well. Although, we did have a cookout at Momma and Daddy's house Sunday and he did have somewhat of a appetite. I hope that everyone is having a good week.. Take care...peace, love and happiness..

On the lighter side....Lulu and the powdered dounts

Yes, this silly dog loves powdered donuts. I discovered this when I come home one afternoon to find the donut bag, ripped into shreads in the floor and Lulu licking her paws. She apparently jumped up and grab the bag off of the edge of the kitchen counter. Now, when we come in the house with groceries and she sees anything in a yellow bag, she gets really happy and the tail goes to wagging. Well, the entire hind quarter is wagging. She is wanting on the her donut. She is a rotten dog and she is a great dog...and we love her..

Long Day???

Today was rather stressful and it seemed like it we were getting no where. Me and Peggy, my sister were at the lawyers office for awhile today getting the POA on my BIL. The insurance company is driving us up a wall. So, I called my attorney and done what had to be done. So now the insurance company is going to have to deal with Peg. Hopefully, she can get something done now, concerning his insurance. Insurance companies are just a joke at times. I'm sure that we have all dealth with some crazy things when it comes to the insurance companies. Peg had to call all the doctors office and is tring to get a schedule set up for the radiation treatments. The doctor said Friday that he wants Burkett to have radiation treatments twice a day, starting this week. This is so sad. I was with them most of the day and the wind has been knocked out of Burkett's sails. I just don't know what to say at this point. HOPE....that is what I have. He is really fearful of the radiation more than he is of the chemo. He has not been feeling well at all today. He told me that he feels like that he is living in a dream. I can understand that. He said today that he is sick of ice cream and Jell-O. I told him to eat what he wanted to eat because there might be a day that he can't. He said that his daughter Jami bought 15 gallons of ice cream...I think that he was joking..take care and have a good week...peace, love and happiness

Better Days

The job interview went really well but I didn't get the job, needless to say I was really shocked. BIL is not having a good weekend. He has been really sick and he was at the doctor's today (yea, she is open on the weekend too, she says people have to work during the week so she has to be available to her patients on the weekend. wish there were more doctors' like her). My sister is taking the week off so that she call the insurance companies and try to get him on some medical assistance. The meds. alone are keeping them in the poor house. I hope that everyone has a good week. peace, love and happiness.....

?

I have come on, trying several times to post some happy thougths and to give update of BIL. I think that the only positive thing that I can post right now is..BIL is doing well with Chemo treatments but this was his only second treatment today..but he is in really good spirits..I hope that everyone is having a good week. Take care...peace, love and happiness

Just checking in

Sorry that I have not blogged in a while but it has been a busy week. Took Momma to the neuro Friday and they put her on a new med. for AD. Parkinsons' disease is still really bad. She is shaking all the time, which keeps her tired most of the time. BIL went to Jacksonville FL for scans of the brain. First chemo treatment is Tuesday, which will last 8 hours. He will go Wednesday and Thursday for 4 hour treatments. I will take him Wednesday. We are all going to take turns taking him to chemo and to the doctor. My sister is going to be on vacation in a few weeks so that she can be home with him. I have a job interview Tuesday, and I'm feeling really good about this job. Keep me in your prayers..I will post as soon as I know something on the job and on BIL. Take care and have a good week....hope to chat with eveyone Thursday night....
