A Little Prayer Please

I have been up for most the night, my Papa is having exploratory knee surgery this am. To you and I, no big deal, but to an 80 year old man....it's kindda scary! They will put him under around 8am supposedly. I worry about intubating at his age, but he is in great health and I know God will keep him safe. Grandma will be there by his side as well.
My Mom and Uncle are taking him this am. Good thing my Uncle called and said he didn't want my Mom to go alone.....I would have called into work for sure! We won't know what is causing him so much pain until after the surgery, and depending on if they find something and take care of it then and there, he will need to be basically immobilized until it heals.....if you know my Papa at all...this will be the ultimate task!! My Mom is going to stay the night with him tonight, and then my Uncle will be with him on Thursday and Friday. I will take the weekend shift most likely!
So if you have a spare minute...just say a little prayer.....for this man means the world to so many of us!!! Thanks!!

Belly Button Be Gone!!!

Goose had her hernia surgery done last week.  I was a complete wreck.  I know it isn't invasive, however it's still your baby going under anesthesia.   We had to be at Children's at 1:30 for check in.  Goose had no idea what was going on.  She was just as happy s can be.  It was just Goose, myself and Daddy, Nana picked Bird up from school and was keeping we busy until we were home.   When they called us back she got all her vitals checked and was a champ.  We changed her into a gown and she got to play while I spoke with the nurse, anesthesiologist, and the surgeon.  When the nurse told me that they would most likely intubate her, tears just rolled down my face.  In my line of work...intubation is never good, it's a way to sustain life.  I know that in this case it's just a way to know for sure they don't stop breathing during the procedure. The Surgeon came by to see us before and let us know what would be happening.  We work...

Baby Bird turns 16

I'm still not sure how our first baby girls is 16!  I remember not only her birth story, but I remember loving being pregnant with her so much.  Except the heart burn, I could have done without that!   Beautiful Bird you have become such an awesome young lady.  One that I am blessed to be your Mama.  Your love of life truly shines through in any and all settings.  People are drawn to you for your huge heart and understanding ways.  You make friends easily, and teachers and coaches adore you for the hard worker you are, but mostly because you are a true team mate.   I love how close we are, and how close you are to your sisters.  The moments when we just get to hang out and talk life or not even talk at all and just enjoy each others company are some of my most favorite times.   I love when you get excited about things or when something really makes you laugh, I wish I could bottle that joy up and keep it forever.   We are ...
