2 of my daughters are helping at the church [serving food during a dinner] tonight & tomorrow. It was chaos trying to find the right clothes for them to wear.
My youngest was busy building with Knex. Some how she managed to get my neighbor in there to help her build.
Hope I made you smile. Until next time…

Thought I would share a picture of my adorable granddaughter. She is such a cutie. It bothers me that I haven’t been able to see her much.
I have been feeling terrible since I have been home. I guess I have pushed myself to long trying to take care of my brother and all.
Anyway:
Hope I made you smile. Until next time…

Well, I had to take my brother to the doctor today. He took a turn for the worse over night. The doctor sent him straight to the hospital. 4th admission since Jan. 12th. He is filling up with fluids again. They don’t understand why. 
I need a smile. Here’s a picture I took of my redheaded granddaughter when I saw her last:
Hope I made you smile. Until next time…

Thought I would share a picture I took of my newest granddaughter, the last time I saw her. With everything that has been going on, I have barely been able to see her. It looks like she is shocked & saying “Wow. Is that REALLY MY Grandma?”
I will be going home tonight. My brother & I THINK he might be able to stay home alone at night.
Hope I made you smile. Until next time…

My brother has a neighbor who has 2 cats (a.k.a. – “The Girls”) that he brings over to visit the fat cat here. Did that just make sense? LOL
The other fat cat:
and the little one. Boy is she a handful!
Hope I made you smile. Until next time…

My brother was released from the hospital today. Of course, we got hit with nasty weather. I still do not have my van fixed. So, thankfully our oldest son was around to give me ride to the city to stay with my brother. I’m back to living on my brother’s couch.
I took this shot through the windshield as we were going down the interstate. You can see some of the snow blowing across the highway:
I will post some shots of some of my grand kids soon.
Hope I made you smile. Until next time…

My brother is still in the hospital
Our oldest son stopped in for a visit. He’s on his way from Kentucky, heading home in New York. He was in Kentucky when the big ice storm hit & knocked electricity out.
Here’s a shot of my oldest granddaughter tormenting her uncle.

My brother is still in the hospital. They have drained fluids and hoping they don’t come back.
While he is in the hospital, I’m stopping in & taking care of fat cat. It’s been difficult without a vehicle. But, here’s a shot of fat cat being curious:
Hope I made you smile. Until next time…

My brother got worse this morning. Ended up needing to call an ambulance. He was weak, having trouble breathing & his blood pressure was dropping. They couldn’t risk taking him to the hospital he had been dealing with. He was bad enough they needed to take him to the nearest hospital.
He has massive amounts of fluid building up around his heart & in his lungs. The fluid is trying to shut down his heart & his is basically drowning in his own fluids. The fluid will need to be drained.
I’m still without a vehicle. My brother’s neighbor got me to the hospital. I ended up calling a friend so I could come home tonight.. he was kind enough to drive the terrible roads to bring me back to the town I live in.
We got hit with a snow storm today. It’s nasty outside.
My brother had a terrible night breathing. He insisted on keeping a window open. Here’s the result of that…
Yes that is a pile of snow on the inside of the window sill.
Hope I made you smile. Until next time…

My brother got out of the hospital today. Wouldn’t you know it, my van is messed up. I’m back at my brother’s apartment, taking care of him and my van is back home. Once we figure out the money for the part & my husband finds a whole day to fix it, I’ll have a vehicle. For now, I’m stranded & my brother has numerous doctor visits & lab tests he needs me to get him to.
My youngest really didn’t want mommy to leave again. Poor baby.. I miss her [& the other kids & my husband] so much.
One good thing, fat cat was happy to see me again.
Hope I made you smile. Until next time …

Well, ended up taking my brother to the doctor again this morning. He was sent from the doctor’s office to the hospital by ambulance. He has fluid in his lungs, fluid around his heart & his heart is stuck in A Fib.
I’m so tired. I will be spending tonight back at home. I snapped this photo as I was going down the interstate tonight. I seem to be seeing alot of this view lately; not to mention the chaos of the traffic seems to kind of represent the chaos of how my life has been…
Hope I made you smile. Until next time …

Fat cat must have wanted to do a little reading this morning. He climbed under the end table. Maybe he’s planning some woodwoking projects? Just a guess since it looks like he’s reading woodworking type magazines.
Well, I’m off to take my brother to the doctor. This is his follow up from surgery.
Hope I made you smile. Until next time …

After 36 hours at home, I’m back at my brother’s apartment. Well, I didn’t actually get 36 hours at home between my dad’s surgery & running kids to Youth Group. But, at least I was able to see my husband and kids for a little bit.
I took this photo before I left home. It’s a bud and blossom on one of my Key Lime trees.
Hope I made you smile. Until next time …

Got home at 2:00 a.m. this morning. My little brother is going to stay with my other brother. I have to take my Dad for eye surgery today. Took a nap in my own bed, before getting up to see the kids & heading out to get my dad. My bed felt good after sleeping on a couch for last several nights.
Surgery went well. Ran my dad home & headed back home. A couple of the kids have Youth Group tonight, so they were busy getting ready. Here’s my 15 year old daughter curling my youngest daughter’s hair.
When I came in, I found out that one of my grandson’s was here for awhile. He wants to take pictures like Grandma. He may have to work on his skills. Notice his finger over the lens. LOL
Hope I made you smile. Until next time …
