My Mother is still living with us, constantly in bed, in pain, really ready to have a break from it all.
AND
Monday my Father-In-Law suffered a very serious heart attack, you know,
the kind where the paramedics have to do CPR and "clear!" shock him back to life kind of heart attack.
He was then sent into the Chicago area to receive open heart surgery that included a triple by-pass.
While in route to the surgery, I got the call that the specialist for my Mom would only be able to do her surgery on Friday, yep. That would be the day after tomorrow.
This will include a trip to WI to get her surgery done.
Did I mention a roller coaster?
Oh, I guess I did.
Did you know that my husband is an only child? Yeppers.
Did you know that I have only one sibling who does not live near here? Yeppers.
Our oldest daughter made a trip (nearly 7 hours) from the great north to come and stay with us for 3 days to get us through this week.
Can you say "Praise The Lord Almighty!"
Our son lives 1200 miles away and just started a new job two weeks ago so he has had to endure all this from texting and messaging....poor guy.
Our youngest daughter is a school teacher for Head Start. We have been having the worst weather here and school has been cancelled the past two days....can you again say "Praise The Lord Almighty!"
She stayed with my Mom on Monday while we were with my FIL and was able to go with to the surgery yesterday as our oldest had arrived at 2am Tuesday Morning.
I received a call from my Mother In Law this morning that Lowell has had the ventilator removed, tubes pulled and they intend on getting him up to take a few steps early this afternoon.....all I can say is FREAKIN AMAZING!
I have to get blood work done on my Mom this afternoon, please pray that she will endure yet another car ride with as little pain as possible.
Ahhhhhhhh, is it vacation time yet???????????????
