Good news...

Okay before I update about my grandfather...Yesterday was my birthday...JR and I have been talking about going to see a movie for two weeks now, but as it turns out we didn't get to. We couldn't get a babysitter. So he took me to Pei Wei...my favorite...MMMMM...and then we were going to try to take Logan to go see UP (A Disney Movie), but in the end we decided to come back home. Logan was doing great, but I was tired and stuffed! This is the second year in a row that my whole family was here for my birthday...technically they weren't here FOR my birthday but the point is that they were here ON my B-day!
This weekend has been hectic at best, My older sister and my dad came on Friday...Randi Beth stayed with us, my little sister got to Galveston late so she stayed with my mom at my grandparents house. The next day Everyone went to the hospital except me...I saw my grandfather on Friday, and was still a little shaken by it. JR, Logan, and I met up with my family for lunch in galveston, then stayed for several hours at my grandparents house. My sisters came over to my house and we went swimming with Logan....we had a pretty good day. My little sister, Vanessa, and Logan had some major bonding...it was so cute to see. She works at a daycare and has the early 3 year olds. She does a rotation, so she really works with all ages, but the early 3's are her main focus. On Sunday, we got up and headed to Galveston to the hospital. They had excubated my grandfather, he was having to work a little to breathe and his heart is still going a little fast...but removing the tube was a good sign. He still looked so fragile and was very hoarse but they also removed some other tubes which is very good. He will probably be in the ICU a few more days...the nurse said they would take it slow before moving him back to the floor, but he seems to be on the road to recovery. We all got to go in and see him, and he looked so much better..his color isn't all the way back, but at least he isn't gray anymore. I would like to go see him today, but Iwill probably have to wait until this evening, so that I can have a baby sitter. It is times like this that I wish he was in daycare! But I think we are going to make a trip to Galveston's Moody Methodist to see if they have a Mother's Day Out program..I am hoping they do...It would be nice to send Logan once or twice a week....if so, it will also become my "Errand Day" Ha! After we left the hospital, we went to my grandparents for lunch and then my sisters and my dad headed home afterwards. Depending on how well my grandfather is doing 3 weeks from now, we plan on going to Wimberley to visit my parents...but it all depends now. My mom is staying here for now...She has basically been here for 2 1/2 months...she goes home every once in a while, but usually she will go home on a Friday and be back on Monday...I dont know how she is still standing. I am really glad she is here though to help my grandmother.
I have some funny stories to tell but that will be another post! Thank you guys for all your support and all the words of encouragement...it really means alot! Michelle...look for another novel on myspace!!!Ha
