The View from 221

I have been here for 6 days now and not much changes in room 221..maybe the visitors or the nurses but the view out the window to all the heating and cooling ducts has stayed the same. The patient next door got to see the helicopter..That's okay they say I get to go home tonight.

As I sit here with all the silence I have been able to ponder over so many thoughts,ideas, and pray like I have never prayed before. Obedience has been a huge issue for myself and my children. Learning to obey God's word and to have a reverent obedient heart towards discipline. not only for my kids but for myself. discipline over finances, raising my kids, being a godly wife and so many other issues where discipline will come into play.

You are probably asking yourself where the last paragraph came into play....well I am not sure. I don't think I have had this much time by myself so I think I am just bored and feel like rambling....or it could be that I know I have a 2 year old waiting for me at the door...So I prepared myself for what is to come in the next day.

Overall...I am excited to go home and see my family...Have no more pain when it comes to taking care of them. Loving on them and kiss them..

When Moms away Grammie will Play

Prunes anyone!???

Ella

Look who got to finally cuddle with me! I have not been able to hold her even though we got to be in the same hospital together for 3 days. She was able to go home today. I just loved holding her and Olivia did not get jealous at all She wanted me to have a baby. I told her we had Carter but she wanted a sister....

Day 4

I had some good looking visitors today. My Babies came to crawl into my bed with me and watch TV. Oh, how I miss them. I miss the way they smile the way the get excited. I just had to cuddle them...It made me cry when the Left and I could hear Olivia screaming all the way down the elevator. Who really knows when I can go home...soon I hope but then again I am sure this peace in quiet will still be calling my name.

Still here

I still have the remote all to myself...Seriously..Pain is getting under control. It still hurts a lot but they are trying different drugs. I am trying a steroid to help the nerve. My sister is still in here so she comes and hangs out on the extra bed in my room and takes a shower. What are the chances of both of being here at the same time!? Mom is going back & forth taking care of us and Jenn has been room hoping also.

I might go home tomorrow I am not sure yet...Enjoy the weather looks like it is going to be nice! Maybe I will get to be pushed out in the sun to breathe fresh air...Not recycled dry air :) I will keep up all updated!

Awww..Peace & quiet

Here I sit in the hospital no one yelling my name, no one asking where something might be, no bedtime routine, no dishes ,no laundry just me and my drugs and the TV all to myself. I am sitting here watching Big Brother :) and about ready to sleep.



Sometimes trying to find the positive in a negative can be challenging however tonight I am going to take the mommy time even if I have to go the hospital to get it...Have you ever tried to blog with drugs?

Another One!!!???

I am a bit disappointed and a bit relieved that the pain in my back and in my leg over the last 3 weeks was not in my head!! I went in Tuesday for an MRI and 9:30 pm the nurse called from the doctors office to tell me that I am going to need emergency back surgery Friday. Imagine my disbelief considering I just had one 5 weeks ago!!

I can't believe what a journey this has been....Most of you know that I was injured 3 years ago..I never ever imagined that it would be like this. This will be my 3rd surgery in 2 years. I am becoming a pro!

I will be admitted tonight with surgery taking place tomorrow. Jeremy trying to keep things on the lighter side expressed his joy for me as he knows I get to have at least 8 hours of good solid sleep while he is at home with all the kiddo's.

What an amazing man! I know when you get married that you take a vow for sickness & health...You think that is so far down the road and don't really give it much thought. Going through this and having days I just can't walk or shower myself,lift the babies, or even drive he has never left my side. Never tried to give up. He is an amazing husband who has given up so much of his life to make sure I am okay! I love you babe!

So with that...I have a mommy list 100 miles long! Okay not really but it is long! all the Laundry caught up (HAHAH IMPOSSIBLE!)...rugs and bedding...All the bathrooms, stocking the fridge with quick snacks to go , milk, juice all that fun stuff. Walmart , Costco and the banking...Paying all the bills...wheww...I better go get started looks like a busy day good thing my mom is coming!

Ella Jo

My Sister had her baby Saturday Morning...Tammy has been under alot of stress due to her husband leaving her and having 3 other kids to care for. She went into labor and drover herself to the hospital where they did an emergency c-section ( Baby was breech) Ella was born at 34 weeks and weighed 5 pounds 13 ounces and is 18 inches long....oh and she is super CUTE!!!

Tammy started to hemorrhage and lost a lot of blood. Monday they did 3 blood transfusions. She is doing much better now.

Ella is still weak and is learning to eat. She has had to go on oxygen along with feeding tubes,iv's...not a lot of fun.

In a situation like this Prayers are always needed!

We Love you Tammy and no matter what we are your voice and are here for you.

Labor Day 2008

We had a great labor day weekend...Busy but would you really expect anything different from me!?? We stayed in the big town of Sumas! Because we had our Montana Silversmith jewelry booth set up there. I came home every night to sleep...nothing like your own bed :0). Jeremy's parents have a home on Silver Lake so we headed up there Monday for a BBQ with some family.

Jeremy headed out Friday night to get a great camping spot (first come first serve) It was a great spot until Saturday night when we where in the trailer and all of the sudden we realize that the dance for the rodeo was 19 feet from our door and the walk path was under our awning! So the kids decided they would just dance in the trailer...Good thing the dance ended on the earlier side.

Here are some pictures of the kids being Kids..........

My Number 9

Matthew had a football jamboree on Saturday...I missed the game but he had his own little fan club! He is practicing really hard and is understanding the word "commitment"

He loves the number 9 and was so thankful that he got it...not so thankful that they spelled his last name wrong.
