Checkin' In

Just thought I would check in to let the few of you know that I am ok. Ann-you are such a sweetie, I am going to try and email you, if not you can reach me at accordingtoty@gmail.com.

My FIL spent the last week in the hospital with a staph infection (not the serious one all over the news but still nothing to ignore). With his unexpected illness, JR has had to step up and take care of business. And he has but talk about stressed.

I have been helping with my father. He got very good news on the cancer front, so much so that he is getting a break from chemo for a bit. But he is so close to dialysis it's not funny. His kidney function is bad. He's not drinking or eating because everything tastes bad-a side effect of chemo. He became dehyrated and had to receive IV fluids, thankfully done on an outpatient basis. His not being able to drink is not helping his kidney function. I've tried, the doctor has tried to make him understand that he has to drink.

It's very hard to see him feel so badly.

The kids are well. Ally finished her season with JV field hockey, she will find out tomorrow if they will have her move up to varsity to help them play offs. She hopes they don't and in all honesty I hope they don't either. Trev and Abby will finish up soccer on the 27th, I'm looking forward to that.

Why, I don't know. It's not like I'll be doing anything once sports are over.

And that is something I will have to work on. I refuse to spend another winter, cooped up in the house.

I feel as if I've reached a point where I need to make some decisions. Some aren't going to be easy but need to be made anyway. Which is why I've backed off of blogging.

And just so you know, I'm still keeping track of all of you. Just because I don't comment, I am there in the background.

Shoot me an email, I'd love to here from you.
