Mom Surgery Date

I have found that I don't "proofread" my own typing just spell check...I need to do more proof reading. Anyway......Mom is having her surgery on Wednesday March 10th @ 1 pm. Again, they are going in & suppose to replace 2 of the 3 leads for the defibrillator. We will be going up there to be with dad & to see mom. Hopefully this will be just an over nights stay. Which was suppose to happen when they put it in the first time, but one of the leads came unhooked! Recovery is very minimal. There's not much pain...how would I know, I'm not having the surgery!:) She did really good when this got put in back in June of 2009.
Keep mom in your thoughts & prayers. Please let others know. I told mom awhile back, that I needed her to get to the age of 60. She wants me to throw her a BIG party. You got it Mom!!! She's got about 16 months or so left to get there. Which means I need to get busy!!

Mom's Surgery

When mom has her surgery for the defibrillator, they will be going in a replacing 2 of the 3 leads. It's amazing to think that they can do all this in just a 2 to 3 inch long cut on her chest. It is actually right about the place where you put your had to say the pledge. Once again, lets pray that they are able to replace the 2 leads & things will be working right. We sure don't want them to have to take everything out & replace it all. This is suppose to be just an over nights stay. But when mom had to defibrillator put in back in June of 2009, they had to go back in the next day because one of the leads weren't working. So,,,,,,let's pray everything will work & mom will get to go home the next day!!
Mom wants to get this taken care, have her tooth taken care, have a yard sale, & be able to go to Branson the first week in May! We all need to be praying really hard then!!! But there's plenty of time.

Love Ya'll

Oh

Mom has to go back into surgery again. This time it is to fix the leads in the defibrillator. Mom thought that it might happen this coming week, but she remembered she has a abscess tooth. So they are not going to let her have surgery until that gets taking care of. So the surgery won't be this week but maybe the next week. Mom is looking into getting a dentist. I don't know if she will have anything done w/the tooth before or after surgery. She is taking a antibiotic for it right now. Actually this is her second round. Hopefully she can get the tooth healed up enough to have surgery for the defibrillator, then do the tooth. I told her she should ask the doctor to take of the tooth while they were taking care of the defibrillator. Might as well get it all done at the same time right?:)
Tonight we are going to a Wild Life Turkey Federation Auction/Dinner. This is Jason's 6th yr in being the auctioneer. So we'll have a late night, again. But it is always fun to go to.

Later!

Surgery for Mom again

Mom went to the doctor today. This is one that deals with the defibrillator she had put in back in June. She went last week to this doctor & he upped the defibrillator form 70 percent to 80 percent. So as they are leaving, she notices that she is alittle out of breath. Mom just thought it was because it was a long walk back to the van. Well, mom was out of breath just walking 6 ft. at home.
So, Monday night mom & dad went to the hospital & mom got a chest x-ray. Today she got the results of that x-ray. Two of the wires for the defibrillator are not working. Which means they have to back in there & fix them or replace them. Mom was not looking forward to that news.
Mom doesn't know when this will happen. She's thinking that it will probably take place some time next week. So as soon as we know, I'll be blogging it. Mom wants to get this done & get better, because they are having a yard sale in April so they can go to Branson with us in May!

KEEP MOM IN YOUR PRAYERS!!!

Love Ya'll

Out of Shape

I am sore!! Last night we went to the Family Fun Center in Bonne Terre. We ate, bowled, golfed, arcades. All in about 3 hours! And I am sure paying for it today! My legs are telling me, I need to get back into shape. Jason & I haven't been bowling for about 8 yrs. Joel & Justin, this was their first time to go bowling. Oh my God, it was so cute! They had a blast. I actually came in last in bowling. I got beat by my husband & my 2 kids. That's not right! We figured out it's much easier to play bowling on the Wii. You can always start over on that. Real life bowling was a bit different. The boys were very upset because we had to leave. Joel cried as we're walking out the door. So of course, today that is all they have talked about. They want to go back, they want to go back.
Then tonight, we went to a home basketball game. Justin loves basketball. He so wants to get out there & play. Joel would prefer to stay home. Basketball is not really his thing. He would rather play a game like golf or bowling, that requires thinking. I have to put cotton in his ears every time we go. He says the buzzer hurts his ears. Yeah, so does popping your gum...at least to him it does. Tomorrow night there is an elementary basketball game. That is really cute. We went to one for the first time last week. It's the cutest thing watching 5th & 6th graders play basketball. And some of them were really good!
Jason has an auction this week-end. Things should be pretty calm this week-end. I'm going to write another blog about mom. She's going to have to have more surgery.

Big trip to Mom's

Me & the boys went up to mom & dad's on Saturday. Jason had a huge consignment auction & I was not about to stay here all day, w/2 boys. Yes, I stay home w/them, but on consignment auctions, that is different. Jason leaves at 5 am & doesn't get home till about 9 pm. We left here @ 8:15am & didn't get home till about 9:30pm. Boy, that was a long day. But we had a lot of fun! Aunt Barbie & Uncle Rudy came by with the Michael, Madison, & Maria. So there was a full house. It was a good visit.
Mom had gone to one of her doctors Thursday afternoon. This was the doctor that works with the defibrillator she had put in back in June of 2009. He upped her heart rate from 70 percent to 80 percent. And now she's have trouble walking 6 ft without being out of breath! She said that happened when she left the office. That she was out of breath walking back to the car. HELLO!!! Go back into the office & tell them to change/lower your heart rate. "Yeah, I should have" was her response to me yesterday. The Doctor seems to think that one of the wires aren't doing what it's suppose to do or has become disconnected. GREAT! So, tomorrow she is getting an x-ray & has an appointment on Thursday back with that doctor. We shall see.
Over all, mom was doing great Saturday. She even got on the floor to play with the boys! Which she hasn't done in about 4/5 months! After lunch, I put the boys down for a nap & mom took one too. By the time we were leaving, she was starting to feel pretty worn out.
Plus, mom is also dealing with an abscessed tooth. By afternoon, her left jaw was looking pretty swollen. She is on an antibiotic for it & pain medicine isn't working. She's looking into finding a dentist. Hopefully she can find one & get it taken care of.
Boys are doing good. Thankfully, Justin didn't get sick this time. We have a busy week ahead of us, so I guess I better get to bed!

Love Ya'll

Justin's better!

If anyone read the blog before this one, you'd understand this one. But Justin is feeling much better. He was still running a little fever on Tuesday. So if he wasn't any better by Wednesday, I was going to call the doctor. But on Wednesday, he never ran a fever or anything else. Thank God for that!!!
As for mom, she is still doing good. Again, it's wonderful to be able to really have a great conversation with her over the phone! Me & the boys are heading up there Saturday to spend the day. I hope it's another great visit.
Sorry this blog is short & sweet. There's really not to much going on here. Thankfully everyone is feeling good & doing good!

Love Ya'll
