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....

Happy Father's Day
To my Daddy,
To the first man in my life....Thank you for everything that you have done for me.
You thought me so much in life. How to ride a bike, how to change to oil in my car, to change a flat tire, to fix a busted water pipe, how to stand on my own two feet and make a life for me and the boys. I just wanted to let you know that I love you and I'm proud to call you Daddy...
Once again, I love you!!!!!

Thoughts
There is so much going on in my family at this time and it is just heartbreaking. I have noticed that when things are going good at work then something in the universe makes you home life difficult and when things at great home then work really sucks. Does that make sense at all?
Daddy is not doing good at all. He has good days and bad days and the bad days seem to come more often than not. I found out Friday that he has prostate cancer and the doctor is going to make an appointment for his to see a surgeon in Jacksonville Fla with the issue with his stomach. And then we will address the issue of cancer. So my mind is just cluttered and I'm trying to come to terms with this news.
And as if that was not enough bad news, my niece has cancer (started in her ovaries and has spread and wrapped around her rib cage). So, she is has started chemo and is staying sick. She is trying to work 3 days a week but I'm not sure how long she will be able to continue working. She is a brave soul. She has been doing to seed chemo.
I seen Momma yesterday and it was sad. She was talking really soft, like a child. Talking in broken sentences and forgetting where the conversion was going. She talked about her new car..yes Daddy went a bought a new car and told her that it is hers. She can't drive but she loves to ride. That is something that is new. She usually does not like to leave the house but she loves to just get out and ride and look. She wanted to know if I wanted to take her from a ride in her car. I told her we would go and then she said that it was too hot outside to go anywhere. It was 108 with the heat index yesterday. So it is really really hot here. Then 10 minutes later, she started talking about Daddy having cancer and we talked about Daddy going to Macon Ga to to see a doctor there that his brother seen when he had prostate cancer.
I left there feeling tired, sad and depressed. I really don't know what to do or think at this moment. Confused ... that is the right word I think.
All the grand babies are doing well. We are hoping to see them all over the 4th of July. We will be traveling to Atlanta to see David's family and then we will be going to see the grand babies too. David is trying to get the porch finished. It was originally built to be a deck and then he wanted to top it off and screen it in so now it is porch. I'm not sure what type of outdoor furniture we are going to put out there on it but I will be so GLAD when it DONE. We have been working on this project for 6 weeks. I guess that is not too bad when we are just working on it on Saturdays.
Work is work. I'm really enjoying being in the work force but I know that there I'm going to take some time off in the near future to deal with all the things that is going with Daddy and I will do it. I know that my job is secure and that gives me some peace of mind. I will go back to work after Daddy has his surgery and then I will take days off when he has to go and take his chemo.
I have to keep a positive attitude about this like I do with Momma and ALZ. I know that there is no cure but I know that in her heart she knows her kids and her grand kids and that her mind is just a bunch of stumbling blocks. To me, the only thing that matters is what is in her heart. I have always said.."her mind might not remember me but her heart will never forget me." And then the tears start flowing...
Have a great week my blogger friends..try to cool if it is hot where you are...and remember.. peace, love and happiness!

I'm okay
I am so sorry that I have not been online in a few weeks. It has been too busy. Work is work and at home staying busier than I am at work. But seriously, work is going great and I am mentoring a new staff member.
Momma seems to be having some really good days in the last weeks. And I was told at the doctor's office that Daddy has a anuisum in his stomach and we are waiting on him to make a decision on what he is going to do. I have been trying to talk to him about going to see a surgeon but I don't know how that is going to go. I have faith that he is going to be okay.
The grandbabies are doing really well. I can't wait to see the newest grandson, Stephen Todd Ursrey (Stu for short). We are planning a trip to be with them soon.
Take care and hope that everyone is having a great week. Peace, love and happiness

A new baby in the family
Stephen Todd Ursrey was born on May 5th around 6:15 pm. He came into the world weighing 8 lbs. even and was 20 1/2 inches long. He looks just like his siblings and is a wonderful addition to our family. Veronica and Bryan thank you both for a beautiful grandson and thank you for Haley, Noah and Bethany also. They are all wonderful grandchildren and I can not imagine our life without them. They are all blessings from the good Lord above. We love you all ..Momma and Daddy aka Nan and Papa.
