The Egg Saga (part 2)

I had to break this into 2 parts because you cannot have more than 20 media links in one post. Who knew?

11:23 Sydney stops pacing and moves into box 2 while Hattie is in box 1.

11:25 Hattie vacates box 1. I do not know why.

11:26 Sydney looks over the divide to make certain that no one else is in box 1 and then moves over to box 1.


11:29 Hattie returns from wherever she went and Sydney leaves box 1 with no fuss.

11:36 Sydney is still waiting when Lilly shows up. Why does Lilly show up? To create more chaos or as she might say, because she can. Why else?

11:50 Dope that I am, instead of checking the running camera, I leave the house to go make certain that Phyllis' egg is not soft shelled. Lilly leaves to coop to greet me as i walk down the steps. Hattie was surprised when I opened the lid to the nest boxes.

11:51 Sansa Arrives to lay her egg.

11:53 Sydney informs Hattie that she can wait no more and she is "coming in"! She has been waiting 1 hour 10 minutes for "the" box.

11:56 Lilly arrives and enters box 2. Why? Because she can.

12:07 I cannot figure this move out. Sydney leaves box 1 and joins Lilly in box 2! WHY!

12:10 Lilly leaves box 2. Hattie is in box 1 and Sydney in box 2. Sansa is waiting.

12:29 Hattie has laid her egg. That is 1 hour and 24 min for Hattie to lay hers. Sydney is now in box 1 and Lilly has snuck into box 3. Sansa waits. EGG #3

There is a gap in the video record here. Somewhere between 12:30 and 1:50 Sydney lays her egg. that is a minimum of 1 hour 54 minutes for her. EGG #4

1:50 Sansa lays her egg and heads out. That is that is 1 hour 59 minutes for Sansa to lay her egg. EGG #5

2:34 Lilly leaves box 3. She has not laid an egg but she did spend 45 minutes alone in the coop on nest 3. I hope it was peaceful for her.
 
When it rains it pours...

I have been in the hospital since Thursday afternoon. Not for myself, I'm fine, but for Rich.

For the past week he has not been feeling well. He had diarrhea, fatigue, chills and shakes. His family doctor ordered some blood work and sent us home. Thursday morning he started vomiting. Vomiting for him is usual from his GERD and once he startes he can't stop without fluids and meds from the hospital.

When Thursday afternoon came and he couldn't even keep a sip of water down, I finally said enough is enough and got him ready to go to the ER.

On the way down to the hospital he was almost unresponsive and extremely pale. That is not normal for him. Hospital security had to get him a wheelchair and get him out of the car to get into the hospital. Once inside a nurse came out, took one look at him, and took him straight back. He keep saying he was in so much pain and freezing cold.

He had about 6 or 8 people all over him. Every one thought he was having a heart attack. Thankfully that was not the case. What did happen is they found a disection of his mesenteric artery. We were quickly told that a surgeon would be in to talk with us soon. We were told that rich would need to be transferred to a different hospital because they don't do that surgery at our local hospital.

About a hour later the surgeon was back and said that they were going to treat him with blood thinners instead of surgery because the tare in the artery is on the inside and very small.

He's been on IV heparin since last night and now they are switching him to Coumadin. He'll be in the hospital another night at least until they can get his levels shorted out.

He was still pretty unstable an in a lot of pain so I refused to leave him. I spent the night "sleeping" in a very uncomfortable chair. We finally were moved into a room and I have a lovely recliner to sit in but I can't stay all night today. They are making me leave at 9pm and that's probably not a bad thing, I am exhausted.

I have been laughing so hard at this. I haven’t watched all the videos yet but I can’t stop laughing. As you say, WHY? Just why?

Oh, I am so sorry. Give Rich all the best from us. :hugs
Thank you!
Oh my goodness! Hugs for you and Rich :hugs
my thoughts are with you, hopefully things keep looking up for his condition 💜
Thank you!
This is terrible! I mean, I'm glad you got him to the hospital and they figured out the problem, but holy cow!
Get some rest, sweet lady. Let the professionals care for him and make him healthy again. :hugs:hugs:hugs
Thank you! I was extremely hard to leave tonight and I cried on the way home, but I have trust and faith in the hospital and I'll be back in the morning.
Oh no - that sounds awful and scary. Give him best wishes from your chicken-friends and big hugs to you as well. I hope he recovers really fast.
For you both :hugs :hugs :hugs
Thank you! I'll show him tomorrow
What a week you've had. I'm so sorry. Is he feeling better?
It's been a wild one that's for sure. He is indeed feeling better. He actually had an apatite and ate all his dinner.
Thank you! We'll take all we can get.
 
Happy FBF!
Compliments of... RUBY!
