small update

Quickly...my papa is still doing OKAY...mediocre at best, but is still on the road to recovery. He is still in the ICU and they have but him back on the ventilator. He had aspirated several days ago (look that up, I dont want to have to explain it) they had to clean out his lungs and now he has pneumonia...but they cultured the bacteria, days ago because they kind of knoew this would happen and wanted him to have the most proactive antibiotics. Anyway...doing well, its just a waiting and watching game.

Some funny stories...My grandfather is a very strong headed man. He does things his way (the same way he's been doing it for 70+ years and sees no reason to change it, nor does he understand why people ask him to! After his surgery he was moved out of ICU and into another room. He was still on pain meds and a little disoriented so my mom and aunt were taking turns staying the night with him so he would see a familiar face. At one point, my mom was talking to my little sister on the phone...it was 9 at night....He turned and told her to "Get off that DAMN phone" it was past curfew! Ha. He also yelled at her for knocking over his wine glass because she was running in the house! Mom tried explaining that they weren't at home and she wasn't a little girl, nor did she knock over a wine glass..but it was only making him more irritated so she finally just got on her hands and knees and pretended to clean up the mess. He has been a pill...there are so many other stories I have heard from my mom and aunt...but I just thought I would share a few.
I was supposed to go shopping today....We are in the market for a twin bed for Logan, but I dont think it is going to happen today. See, when you have kids...and are pregnant...well, it turns out that little outings are more difficult than you might think. See, the thing that in order for me to run errands it has to be done first thing after we get up because by the time 12:30 hits....it is lunch time, and by 2:00 its time to lay down for nap time. So ifI wait until after nap time it means we will be in 5:00 traffic. He usually gets up around 3:45-4:00. Getting anything accomplished after JR gets home is impossible...because he has been on the road for 1 1/2 hours and wants to relax when he gets home...there is no getting him up once he gets down! Ha...
