Hello everybody, what is up with you all today? I have been writing to

facebook the last few days and I really enjoyed seeing the pictures of

everybody, but would rather just chat back and forth here this way,

don't have all the gadgets to fiddle with.. Well Marty and I got the flu

shot today, and he got the pneumonia shot also. We took him over to

Riverbend Hospital to see his lung specialist for a check up, and the

doctor was really happy to see him well for a change instead of fighting

for his life like when he has usually seen him before. He also told me I

was doing a " phenomenal job " taking care of him, thought that was nice.

We took both cars because had to go and see his anesthesiologist

in the same building to get set up for his surgery on Mon. He got so

frustrated waiting though he called and told me he was going to cancel

it, but I told him if he cancels it who knows when he'll get another

chance and he needs the other knee done, so he needed to settle down. So

he saw his surgeon this afternoon and told me he would have to be there

at 5:00 a.m. on Mon. so it looks like he changed his mind back. I took

Marty out alone in his wheelchair so am getting in the groove to do him

alone again..all of a sudden isn't going to be there and I will

have to get him up out of bed and give him his bath shower and dress

him, etc. I asked Tara if she could come the first few days and help me,

will be in the hospital 3-4 days then home, don't know how much he

will be able to do at least for awhile, but they want him up and walking

right away.

Other than that the kids and I are looking forward to going to the coast

and staying at Driftwood Shores on Fri. through Sat. Jeff, me and the 5

kids will be going, it is right on the beach and we will be going to

the dunes to do dunes boarding like they do on snow only this is on

sand. I think it looks like fun, they also have sleds and dune buggies

and a nice heated pool at the motel when we get done. Hope and

Marty will be good at home overnight, it is just a 60 mile drive away

only takes about an hour to get home in case they need me in a hurry,

not like Disneyland where I was in Los Angeles and had to fly home the

next day. But I think they'll be fine and I will get a little break for

my birthday present.

Well that is it here, Lucas got well from pneumonia and went back to

school, praise the Lord! He is saying some awful things at school

though, told his teacher he was going to blow up the whole school with a

bomb, he gets a little dramatic and she understood because she said she

had a downs syndrome child who says outlandish things like that, but we

are sure working on Lucas to stop staying that stuff or he'll get in

trouble...shish.

Check in everybody...

Much love,

Carolyn OR ;o)
