November

What a month
first Ty's ruptured appendix
then sometime last week my aunt fell and broke her ankle in 3 places

then this week my grandpa had his second massive heart attack
how he survived I have no idea
we had been preparing for about 8 years for him to not make it through another one
but somehow he is home after 4 days in the hospital
he does have to wear a defibrillator called a life vest for a few weeks to months
and do a lot of nothing for a while so his heart can gain back some strength
so now there is a week and a half left of the month lets hope it goes better

I have a lot to be thankful for!

Finally something interesting

Wednesday night Ty started having crazy lower abdominal pain. He did not sleep much that night. At 4am when he needed to be leaving to go to work he decided he needed to call in sick. Then he started dry heaving because he had not ate in about 18 hours. He tried to sleep for a while around 10 the pain started to get worse and move around. He slept off and on until about 2 when he started talking about going to the hospital. Our insurance for his new work was suppose to start last Monday but we did not have the medical card yet. He talked to his mom (he is a mommas boy) she thought he probably had a hernia and needed to go to the hospital but he was hesitant because the medical card had not come yet so my grandma went to check the mail. While she was gone he decided he needed to go to the hospital no matter what so while I was on the phone telling this to his mom my grandma walked in the the medical card! So we got the the ER at 3:45 they were very concerned it could be something a lot worse than a hernia, so they got him checked in right away (the ER was really busy) by 5:30 he had a blood drawn and a Ct scan which showed that he possibly had a perforated appendix. They got him into surgery by 8:30 he was out at 10 the doctor told us it was perforated, black with gangrene, and it was about 4 inches long when it is suppose to be the size of the tip of your pinky finger. He was settled into his room by 1. Everything went well and he should be able to leave by 2.

It has been nice to have my brother here, although he is not here under good conditions, Our mom's dad ( who I dont know but my brother lived with for a few years ) is not going to make it. But he has been stopping in for visits and that is nice.


I will stop rambling now... no sleep
