I haven't been on here a lot lately..... I have been reading your thread though. Sorry to hear about all the problems that you have been having. I am glad you have not lost your mind yet, I am sure you will come through this part of your life doing cart wheels!
I am in North Dakota presently, baby sitting for my son and daughter in law. She is pregnant, due 11/6. The child has a brain stem problem, water on the brain and a heart problem. I am watching their two boys, age 5 and 2, so J and Lindzie can drive all over the country from one specialist to another. It has been determined that the child will have to be operated on for her heart problem immediately after delivery. We are pretty sure that the child will have to be delivered in Denver, a 12 hour drive from their home. I have not been the primary care giver for diapered kids for 30 years......... Wow! I had forgotten how much work children can be. How in the world do women have kids and work???? Oh, that's right........ I was in my 30's when I had kids. I am a lot closer to 60 now, no wonder I am ready for bed by 5 pm!
Today, for entertainment, we caught grasshoppers for their pet tiger salamander. Then we swang on the new swingset for about an hour. I was about to fall over from exhaustion and they are still running circles around me.
I worry about all of my animals at home. The landlord is taking care of my chickens, Mike is checking up on him for me. Mike reports that he is taking good care of my chickens. Mike is staying at my house and taking care of my 2 house dogs, the house cat, the snake and his personal chicken. When I left, he knew I would probably be gone for at least a month. I do not have the heart to tell him I may be gone 2 months........ Every time I talk to him he asks me if I know when I am coming home........
I think the worst problems facing J and Lindzie will be after the child is born. I am hoping that I will not have to move here to continue to help them. They don't have any family here to help out.......
You take care of yourself, Granny. You do not want to be back in the hospital again. I know you don't.
