I couldn't get anyone to look at the camera. They all wanted to watch Dora!

 


Emma and Clara were looking out of Rita's door when cows started going by. Clara started mooing and then Emma laughed and they were cackling by the time they finished. I think Mommy was trying to figure out what they were laughing at.

Yep! Tanner has the first round playoff game tonight! He didn't sleep a bit last night because he was so worried and nervous about tonights game. Its at Greenbrier East because West is under construction and doesn't have enough seating. It will be at 730!

Mornin All
Mommy slept good last night and is still asleep. She ate breakfast yesterday morning pretty good and then slept all day. We tried to wake her around noon and feed her but we couldn't get her awake enough. When she woke around 3, we tried to give her some hot chocolate (aka Ensure). For Supper I tried Broccolli and Cheese soup (which she usually likes) but she wouldn't have that either. Finally, I pureed a banana with mandarin oranges and tried to give her meds with that, but she vomited it all up. So she didn't get her antibiotic, her laxative, her heart pills...I gave her a Zofran for Nausea and waited a while, and then she was able to get some of the fruit down. She woke up last night and drank nearly a cup of water, which is good. Ya'll pray for a better day today.

Am I right that Tanner has a playoff game tomorrow?  Do they have home field advantage?  I am actually rooting for you this time, Tanner:)  I would wish you luck, but the way you guys have been playing, I don't think you need it.  Love ya! 

Rita, so glad you are back on line!!!!! We missed you and your colorful reports. Was good to hear that Mommy ate well today. Have a wonderful time in Pigeon Forge Rita and Blaine. You both deserve it. Just relax and eat all the stuff that makes you fat. You can always diet later!!
Teresa we are praying you get to feeling better.

Since I have been off the blog, it has gone to the dogs :)

Mommy is having a good morning. She ate almost all of her breakfast (grits, an egg and I added a little cream for calories!) and all of her meds. She seems to be more herself and is more alert and awake. She IS napping right now. She isn't voiding much, but we give her all the water she can stand, short of drowning her. The Cipro that she is taking dehydrates her somewhat...I'll try to get a picture of her soon.

I hear, through the grapevine, that Cindy and Timmy are getting married. Anything to that? Have you set a date?

Addy is having gall bladder surgery on Nov. 23rd. Ya'll remember her in prayer. It has been a miserable couple of months for her. Not to mention she has had the crud on top of all that.

Blain and I are planning to go to Pigeon Forge TN the week of Thanksgiving. Our kids are sending us for Christmas! Bobbie and Ruth will be staying with Mommy while we are gone. Talk to ya'll later

Yea, Sheeeeeeeee Back, Thank Goodness

I'm baaack! It was only a power cord so it only cost me $21 instead of $165. Mommy is napping right now. Waiting on her to wake up so we can go to work on lunch. Pinto beans, Yea! Hey, it's protein. Sally is working today because Teresa is under the weather. We thought she needed a day to rest. Mommy doesn't seem to be in any pain or distress. She was laughing at me this morning and she was smiling at Sally. You can usually tell when she is hurting by the look on her face. I DID miss the internet. We had to go back to the old fashion way of communicating, we had to CALL each other. O my word!

Talked to Rita yesterday and this morning. Her computer is still down.

Mommy has a urinary tract infection and they got her antibiotics yesterday and began giving them to her. It is so difficult to tell if she is sick from an illness or is just declining due to general health and age since she cannot tell you. She is getting weaker, thinner and does not walk as well. She had begun throwing up her food and medicines, probably due to the UTI. We hope to see some improvement with the antibiotics if they can get them down her. It took them two and one-half hours to get her breakfast and medicine down this morning.

Mom had a pretty good weekend. She ate and drank pretty good. Best of all, she laughed for a half hour of Scooby Doo!
