Thanks Laura. I hope that hurricane Jeanne was nice to you!!!! Ready to move yet? :o)
Now for the update... my grandpa seems to be doin ok. They put the catheders in for dialysis, its in his neck area. Well they did that on Thursday of last week. He went down for his first dialysis treatment on Friday and his doctor shows up and says hang on dont do anything yet. He was hooked up to the machine just waiting for his doctor to show up. His doctor comes over to him and says to the nurse unhook him HE IS NOT GOIN TO DO DIALYSIS YET. His doctor said that his kidneys are functioning well enough that they do not want to start dialysis yet. On one hand I am thankful that they have not started it, once you go on dialysis you never come off. So as far as that goes I am thankful.. BUT on the other hand... they said he had COMPLETE kidney failure *he gained 15 lbs of water weight in ONE day* So they completely stressed everyone out and now they are not even doin it. Then yesterday he was having a really bad day and slept most of it and is really really tired. Then the doctor tells the NURSE to tell my grandpa that they are goin to put in a pacemaker for his heart... ok, we all know he has a bad heart... BUT this is NEW. WHAT ARE THEY THINKING??? This is the first we have ever heard about this and then the freakin doctor has the NURSE tell him???? I have to say I am not a happy camper. It is a minor surgery and can be done with a local but STILL, HELLO!!!! They are also goin to go in and drain fluid off his lung today. So we will see how everything pans out. I hate seeing my grandpa this way and just want him back to the way he was. My happy, everything is ok, STRONG grandpa, and I know that that will not ever happen and I hate it.
Other things are goin well. My dads business 1st yr anniv. is tomorrow. So we are all goin out to celebrate on Thursday. I had a great time at the 12 hour crop on Saturday. I got 13 pages done. Some for my grandparents album and some in my own. Then on Sunday I did 5 more for my grandparents album and watched the CRAPPY football game. Then over to my parents for my birthday dinner :o) I got a gift certificate for a scrapbook store from my parents and another one from my best friend!!! YEAH!!! SCRAPBOOK SHOPPING HERE I COME!!!! :o) My hubby bought me my Pooh canisters from the disney store I have been wanting and a few other things.
Well, I dunno what to do about my other BLOGGERS... Rich has a woman now and does not have TIME for the lil ppl in his life. Odie is busy with work... though he does come and READ the blog :o) Jen... not sure what Jen is up to. Her baby is keepin her on her toes... and now that Laura has been hit with yet ANOTHER hurricane she is goin through CLEAN UP.
