Monday 10/17

I'm really missing my Dad today. I worked at the office today and it seemed like every time I turned around I could hear Dads voice. This really sucks..... There is no other word to explain how I feel. It has been 25 weeks since I've been able to talk to my Dad. I can honestly say I don't think I've ever gone longer than a week without talking to him. I will be with him tomorrow and I can't wait.... I haven't seen him since Thursday. I can't wait to tell him all about Gracie's birthday party! I hate he missed it. I hate that all of this has happened to MY family. I am angry. I know it's very normal to have these feelings. I am usually the "strong" one in the family, but at times I start to break. This is one of those times. I know I'll feel better tomorrow after I see my Daddy (and because of the fact that Monday will be over!) If you could, just say a little prayer for me and my family for strength on these rough days. I know we will make it through this, even though it doesn't seem possible at times.
Since I've had to stop writing this post 3 times to go dry my eyes, I'll close now. I'm hopeful I'll be posting a "happy" post tomorrow! =)

Mom is with Dad today. She said last night she told him she loved him and he never responded. She told him he was hurting her feelings cause he wasn't saying I love you back. He looked at her and said, "I love you back!" lol lol
They were on their way to therapy when I talked to her earlier.... Will update more later. As you see the posts aren't as frequent. There just isn't much to post right now, so please know that no news is good news. I will try to get in an update once a week, at least!!

Also............
Happy 2nd Birthday Gracie!!!!!!!! I don't know how 2 years has passed!!!!! It makes me so sad!!! My baby isn't a baby anymore.... She's a little girl!!!!!
I'm getting things ready for her party tomorrow. I hate it soo much that Dad won't be here. If you know my Dad, then you know how MUCH he loves his Gracie Kate! I think everyone that has come in his office over the past two years had to look at Gracie pictures on his computer and watch videos I'd sent him! He is crazy about this girl!!! (but can you blame him?!?!)
I sang Happy Birthday to Gracie this morning when she woke up. She told me, "No Mommy" and shook her hands! Lol. Here are some pictures from our morning. I'll share more after the party tomorrow!!!!






What Birthday morning is complete without donuts and chocolate milk?!?





It's my birthdayyyy!!!!











Mom, I'm trying to watch Barney here!





Happy Birthday to ME!!!!!!!

Wed 10/12

There hasn't been much to update everyone on lately. Dad is about the same. I'm sitting beside him now and he's watching ESPN. Two of his high school buddies came by just a bit ago. I know he enjoyed seeing them.... He even put on his Razorback hat!! =)




These past few days have been pretty stressful for me. I can't tell you how much each and every one of your texts, comments, Facebook posts, phone calls, etc means to me. I can't believe we've been doing this for almost 6 months now. It still seems like a dream.....

Yesterday was my hubby's 30th birthday and Friday Gracie will be 2! Where does the time go?!???!!!!
Happy Birthday to my two loves!!!

Sunday 10/9

Dad had a fever of 100 degrees (under the arm) last night. Mom and I could tell he didn't feel good by the faces he was making. They called the DR and did some blood cultures and a chest X-ray. I just got here this morning and they don't have any results yet. His temp is down to 97. We are watching Turner Classic Movie channel..... Too much excitement for me this morning! =)

Monday, Oct 3rd

Happy Monday. It's a "blah" day around here!!!! Dad says he feels "so-so" and I'll have to agree the same! Guess we are having a case of the Mondays. PT came in a bit ago and he sat on the side of the bed and did a few exercises. We are watching ESPN right now.... Well Dad is atleast!
Caroline came in for the weekend. She and Dad sang some songs together Friday night. (of course it included ole miss fight song and some James Taylor!) Mom watched the Arkansas game with him on Saturday. She said he raises his fist when they did something good. She told him this was the quietest he's ever been during a Razorback game! Lol. She told him she loved him, then asked if he loved her. He said yes. Then she asked him how much? He said, "More than anything!". Made moms day. She really needed to hear that! =)
Caroline, Mom and I celebrated Moms belated bday Saturday afternoon with Mani/Pedis and salad and Pizza! We enjoyed our girl time together!
I'm with Dad all day today and tomorrow, so I know he's going to have good days since his favorite daughter is here!!!!! (sorry Heff!!!! Lol)



This is just a portion of the cards Dad has received. I think this is just what he's gotten in the past couple weeks!!!!! I figured we should decorate the room with them! =)
