October Birthdays

Can you tell I’ve been underwhelmed at blogging?  Sorry. I know you guys wonder how we’ve been doing.

Grace had her birthday the weekend before.  Jeff had a birthday this week.  It was his 31st, no wait, his 7th, no, hummm….  how many candles was it?

Well, it was a lot of candles!  He must be pretty old.

He got a Garmin GPS thing for his bicycle.  He and Grace have been doing a lot of bicycle riding. 

Happy Birthday Jeff!

Emily had an excellent weekend.  She was so happy.  We took her on an outing to Costco on Sunday.  It was almost 2 hours after shopping.  She was very ready to get out of her chair when we got home.

On Monday Emily went to school and lots of kids were sick.  I decided not to send her back to school right now.  She can’t afford to get any of the illness that are going around, especially H1N1. 

Emily’s PIC line was giving us trouble on Wednesday so we had to go in to Infusion Clinic.  It was flushing but the nurse couldn’t draw any blood back.  There was a fibrin sheath over the end, so they said.  It acts like a flapper valve and flushes can go in but nothing can come out.  A clot busting drug was given to get rid of it.  We had to wait one hour after giving it.  Then it was flushed and checked again.  When everything was working fine we got to go home.  Emily was very ready to be home, just about growling because she needed to get out of her chair.  Her hips are good, but she still can’t sit for more than a couple of hours.

Yesterday Emily wasn’t feeling very well.  This morning she is still sleeping.  I am hoping she is just tired. 

Well, all for now.  Next week will bring more exciting things, and one more birthday!  Can you guess who is next?

Thanks for listening ~
