Great and Not so Great

Great

Cousin Emerson got home on Saturday. He was in the hospital since February 2. He had jaw surgery and a herniated diaphragm fixed. He went home without O2, free of the ventilator and no NG tube. He was happy to see his brothers once again. Now he's a silent sleeper, which makes Aunt Terra nervous. Nervous because she can't hear him breathing. She'll get used to it. I'm glad that he can breathe clear.

On the 28th, I signed my boys and their cousins Evan and Elijah up for a Super Hero Party at the Y. They are going to spend the night that night. I thought that would be fun.

Not so Great

Great Grandma Kent that has Alzheimer's disease is getting worse. She now forgets to eat. It's sad to see/hear about someone going downhill that once was on top of it all. She used to make us home cooked meals, she had cookies in the cookie jar, played card games with us and took us garage sale shopping.

Grandpa Spiehs is having Atrial Fibrillation/Pulmonary Vein Ablation Procedure. It's a 3 to 4 hour procedure. He's had fibrillation issues for a long time. The meds he's taking are not working as they should and the side effects are horrible. I'm hoping this surgery helps him!

Surgery is Over With

Cousin Emerson got out of jaw surgery! The surgery went well. He was in surgery longer then expected because the doctors decided to fix his diaphragmatic hernia. It was just too big and was something they wanted to fix. They also removed his NG tub and put a g-button in.

Lots of stuff done to Emerson in one day.

Now it just another waiting game; we have to wait for him to come off the ventilator.
