I stopped at the Lab at the hospital the other night and got my pre-op testing done. I should know the results of that this week and be told what vitamins and minerals I will need to start taking now, to get my body built up before the big surgery. 10 vials of blood is what that whole workup took. The lab technician looked at me like I was nuts when I handed her the orders. She took 20 minutes looking them all up and seeing what color vials to use and if they were send outs or in house tests. It was comical watching her through the window, scrolling through book after book! Then come to find out they had to send them all out except for ONE test! Ha!
Grandpa Trone has been in the hospital since Monday. He has pneumonia in his right lung. He's full of fluid and can't breathe well. Dr. McKenney is pretty uncertain what the outcome will be. He's came out of bad situations before, but how many times can he rally and pull through his own death bed? He's knocking on heavens door, but then he suddenly takes a turn for the better and shocks everyone around him. Dr's, nurses, and us his family. It's pretty touch and go with him. Is he really getting better, or is this the calm before the storm? It's so hard to tell what is exactly going on with him. We just keep praying and showing him our love. It's been so hard because I don't want to take Brody out to the hospital. So I can only go see him in the evenings when Bev or my mom can babysit the boys. It makes it hard on me not to be there for him like I want to be. Last night he just squeezed and squeezed my hand. It just melts my heart. He still spouts off ornery things to the nurses and us. It's his cute way of being "gramps" ha ha.
Last weekend was the big Halloween weekend. Trick or treating, working at the bar. It was a full weekend. Then to top it off it was the finale of the 6 week karaoke contest. They crowned the $500 winner and that was a BUSY night! I even dressed up with the boys on Saturday night. We went to the nursing home to see Grandpa and he got a kick out of all the kids dressed up!
Last weekend was the BIG Halloween Party for the kids out at Jeremy and Cassies. I forgot to mention all that FUN. They all had a blast. They played games, Painted pumpkins...
Designed their own mini pumpkin pies... they all had a ball! Cole dressed up as Yoshi this year ( the dinosaur off of Mario Brothers) and Brody was a Garden Gnome, but he wouldn't wear his hat or booties so he ended up looking more like a scarecrow! ha ha ha!
The boys got way more candy than they needed through the weeks! It will take us to next Halloween to get it all eaten! They had fun and that is all that matters!
Tonight is Coles school fall carnival. He's excited to go. We took him last year and he had fun! Theres games, prizes, haunted house, book fair, and his friends of course! I hope Brody's a good boy so we can have some fun. He doesn't do well with crowds.
I will update more after my BIG meeting on Monday night. I hope to learn a lot and will be happy to be one step closer to surgery.
