Bill got some news on his lump. The radiologist said it was a fatty cyst. After careful consideration we have decided to do the watchful waiting game. Bill really doesn't want to be cut open right now, who could blame him, and the Dr thinks we are just fine leaving it alone. If it should happen to change we will have it taken out then. Thank the LORD for that bit of great news.
Gramps got put in the nursing home. 24 hour care for him at home was getting a bit difficult with not enough hands to go around. Everyone seems to want to put in their two cents about what should be done with him, but not enough people would help pitch in to actually keep him at home. It was really starting to wear on grandma, so I am now happy with this decision. He really seems content more there now, than he was at home. You would think for a man with 7 kids and their spouses, 13 grandkids and their spouses, we wouldn't have had such a hard time finding people to volunteer to come sit with him? It kinda makes me sad. I guess you really do see peoples true colors when things get tough. He enjoys company, and sometimes he's a tad ornery. He's so out of it at times he would just die if he knew some of the things that come out of his mouth. He's not this way, but it's the dementia setting in and it's only gotten worse and will only continue to get worse. He has started to throw things across the room when he's angry, not at anyone, just toss things away from him. He also cusses more now than I've ever heard him. Grandma looks like the weight of the world has been lifted off her shoulders, and this makes me smile. She was really looking pretty wore out there at the end of him staying at home.
Brody has been a pistol for 3 weeks now. He's had fever, cranky, whiny, miserable and making all of us around him miserable at times too. We first thought he was teething, but then Thursday night he was uncontrollable so I took him to the ER. He vomited on me the second we walked in the doors, and the Dr checked him out and said he thought he had strep. So he gave us a ZPac and sent us home. We gave him the medicine daily and then Sunday he was covered in hives, by Yesterday (monday) morning it was a full blown rash with hives on top. Poor kid was miserable. He also woke up with a new tooth!!!! FINALLY! When it rains it pours around here! Took him to Dr to make sure it wasn't a drug allergy, and we are now waiting on them to get ahold of us when the labs get in wether it's scarlet fever, Mono, or a viral rash with hives? Poor kids just miserable. He was up a lot in the night and went back to bed at 7:30a.m. and slept till NOON today! Geesh! He is so tired from not napping or sleeping well for three weeks now. He was playing catch up today.
Tonight is Boy Scouts for Cole. He's all excited for that! Life as we know it is crazy busy, and things are tough some days, but we wouldnt' have it any other way. Bill's been working in the fields as much as they can get in them. Some days are too wet. Some days they have more important things to get done. He's just been super busy all the time. It's okay, because that means we are making money! We did all spend Sunday evening together and we had a nice time. I love my boys! Hopefully things will slow down a bit soon, but I am sure Christmas will be here before we know it. Ugh. I am NOT ready for all this business of the holidays!
