It's been awhile since I have had a chance to sit down and write....let's see if I can remember all the stuff that has happen since the last time I did....
Heath was baptistized last Sunday night. All of the our children were there to see it and his mom got to come too. His dad had planned to come but he just wasn't able to.
The "to do" list was completed and the appraisal on the house has been done. My husband and children all worked so hard to get everything done that needed to be done and kept the house clean. The only thing that I hate was that laundry was sooo piled up and there was no place to "hide" it away...I hope that doesn't hurt the appraisal in any way....as a reward for all the hard work that they did we went to the water park (Geyser Falls) on Monday and it really wasn't all that crowded....it was HOT though but it has been hot all week long. There have been all kinds of record setting temps here in Mississippi this week. It is awful and it is only June 2, I can only begin to imagine what it will be like in the coming months.
Heath's dad has been in the hospital in Tuscaloosa since Monday also. He went in b/c he had so much fluid on his legs that when you touched him, it would bust open and start seeping out. Yesterday he was moved into ICU b/c his CO2 level was too high. He is on a c-pap machine to get the CO2 levels down. When he went into ICU his levels were over 100, this morning they were down to 70 but they have to get to 30 before he will be back in a regular room. The good news is that the medicine that they have been giving him for the fluid seems to be working b/c the swelling in his legs are going down. He was in better spirits today than yesterday. Please pray / continue praying for his healing and comfort during this time and for peace and understand for his children and wife.
Canon went swimming in the pool for the first time this year on Saturday - He loved it.....He doesn't realize he isn't as big as the other kids and he wants to play just like them. Grandma bought him a boat to ride around in and then Lala got him some floaties and he just has so much fun. Tonight he jumped off the diving board and went down the slide....if I had not been in the pool with him I would have taken pictures but I will get some next time.
Tuesday was Canon and Trace's last day at daycare. Things have been pretty crazy this week so I don't think either one of them have really realized what they are missing out on....Once Nick goes home Trace will begin to miss his friends and will start asking to go I am sure. I am just waiting on Canon to start asking for Ms. Rachel (his teacher) any day now.
Michael, the kid that wasn't gonna come visit and then showed up to stay for only one night and then decided to stay for two weeks, has decided to spend the WHOLE summer with us. He is going to be working and his mother has agreed to let him stay with us. Nicholas on the other hand is still leaving us for a couple of weeks but he will be back again on the 18th. He isn't real happy that he is having to go home and Michael getting to stay.
We are a few less pets around our house these days. Canon's rabbit, Dabbit, died last week from heat stroke. He was solid black and the day that we moved the rabbits outside to their new cage he died. Well tonight, Snowball, Nick's rabbit (that he got when Canon and Trace got theirs that had been living with him at his mom's that he brought with him when he came to visit), died. Heath was cooking supper and happened to look out the window and saw him fall over and ran outside and got him and did CPR / mouth to mouth / ran him under cold water....everything he could possible think of to save him but he did not make it. Now we only have Nibbles, Trace's rabbit. On the other hand we discovered last week that Wicket and Shadow (the cats) are BOTH pregnant so we will be over run with kittens in the near future....if you would like one please let me know....as soon as they are ready to go they will have to go and both cats will be fixed no excuses this time around. Both hermit crabs have also died. So as of today the total pet count is at 6 - 2 dogs, 1 rabbit, and 3 cats (soon to be who knows how many).
I guess that about catches my week up....tomorrow will be a sad day b/c Nick will be going home but like I said he will be back again on the 18th so.....hopefully tomorrow will bring good news from Heath's dad also.
