The Grand Kid's names on the blog!

I have decided that I am tired of calling 1 yr. old, 1 yr. old on the blog, and the baby, baby. So, from now on 1 yr. old will be called "Pinky" because that is what grandpa calls her, and the baby will be called "Fred" because that is what grandpa calls him.

My Sister

Boy, did I have a fun day yesterday. NOT! My younger sister had surgery on her neck yesterday to clear some bone spurs that were bothering her, and they also did some fusion work on C5 and C6 in her spinal column. She did very good during surgery, and then in recovery! They got her back to her room, and she did fine for a little while. I was talking to her, then noticed that she wasn't moving her right arm, so I asked to move it for me, and she did not do so well with that. She was also looking for button to push to give herself some pain medication. I don't think she got the meds, because then I noticed that she was just not responding to anything that was going on. I called to her a couple of times, then I started pushing the nurse button. The nurse came in and asked what was going on, and I said I don't know for sure, she is not responding to anything at all. So then the nurse started in saying her name and trying to get some kind of response out of her, nothing. So the nurse got on the phone and called for critical care nurse to come up immediatly, which she did, and we are all trying to get her to respond to anything, NOTHING! She didn't even respond to a finger prick. I do believe that she had a TIA ( mini stroke), because I also noticed a facial droop for about 10 minutes. The gist of it was she had gone into a coma, but they transfered her down to ICU while I went to pick my husband up from work, and I guess almost as soon as they got her down there, she snapped out of it. She still doesn't remember much of anything,even from last night, but she is doing much better today.

Sorry it's been so long!

Sorry it's been so long since the last post, but I did say that I probably would not post much. In fact, I have been considering shutting it down because I do not post much and I don't think anyone looks at it.

Baby boy is growing like a weed, up to 10 pounds now. What we thought was left over cord that was having trouble coming off, is actually a cyst that needs to be surgically removed. We see a surgeon next month. And the poor baby also has a double ear infection and thrush. So we are trying to get rid of all that.

I still don't know how to put up any pictures, so that's why there aren't any.

If I do end up shutting down, I will still look at the blogs that I look at every day and comment on them when needed.
