My Mom and Les are in the ER with Jeff, he fell out of the bed again and can't walk straight, he doesn't seem to have a bruise on his back but may have messed up insidee. Took the kids to church this morning, Ames came with Gina and was good sitting through church, he usually has to go to back. Charli is excited about her birthday party at te Fire Dept. Seth will have his Saturday, I am not sure about the details.

THEY SENT JEFF HOME WITH PAIN MEDS, THINK HE JUST BRUISED SOMETHING. HE IS SLEEPING NOW.

It turns out Jeff had a broken hip, he didn't even remember when he fell! He will have surgery the first of the week.
I went to the DR and I must double my Prednisone 5 days and use my inhaler But my inhaler was dead so I guess I will see if I can get one Monday, it is the pollen. Again I was asked about going to Duke to get on the list for lung transplant.

Exercise times, 18 min New step 6 min arms and 5 min on treadmill! Will add pictures from The Entertainers concert from last night

I had a rough night last night with crazy dreams! I still have so much congestion in my lungs I wake up to cough it up but at 3 I woke up thinking about my brother. He is still so weak. I can't imagine having the scariest thing to happen in your life and not having the one person who loves you most with you. He spent 2 days in ICU and our baby sister stayed as much as she could, I couldn't even go with being sick and Les was working, his friends Roy and Foots were there but Mom was in Florida. We softened everything because we knew Mom would want to come home. He is supposed to lie down as much as possible and he has been pretty good but mostly he sits in his chair or on the steps. The bleeding in his brain is in the center which the Dr said was unusual, if it would have been me I would still be in the hospital but he has no insurance and is an alcoholic and heavy smoker so I guess they needed to release him ASAP. I have to say Roy and Steve are good friends! They met him in the ER and stayed with him. I don't know when he will be checked out or even IF. I have not done too good a job taken care of him since I was so sick and trying to keep the kids and Les has tried to work, take care of me, Jeff and his Mom who has pneumonia. I have to say it made me realize how much I love my brother, it has been scary, he was terrified and ready for me to call 911 with his head throbbing, he almost cried and said Why do things like this happen and brought up my lung disease.
As much as I complain about him I was glad I was with him Saturday and glad he is here today!

Jeff has fallen twice today, he fell out of the bed trying to cover up and hit his head and then his knee twisted and he fell and he just scooted toward the door. He fell 3 times yesterday so that is better! He is not as wobbly today but still is very pitiful! Les and I are wondering about leaving him alone. I had to go to therapy but Jamie stopped by and brought him lunch. She told him he was supposed to stay in bed as much as possible while he is still bleeding. I want to go to church tonight but may not, I hope tomorrow I can get our neighbor or his friend to check on him so we can go to the first Alive After 5 uptown.
My exercise times: 15 on New Step 5 arms, 4 on treadmill. Heart rate is still up on treadmill but not as much as it was.
Ames started clapping today!

Made it to exercise today made it 15 min, New Step, 4 minutes threadmill (which was not too bad because my O2 drops and heart rate jumps on this and did 8 minutes arms. She didn't make me do laps since I was recovering from being sick.
Ames had his check up and the Dr put him on antibiotics for his cough and said he was tall! In the 90%, He weighs almost 18 lbs.
Jeff is still in ICU, they were running another test to see where blood is coming from. Dr Lal feels like it was a seizure like he has had in past.

How could I not be in love with this face! Tuesday I put Gina's headband on her and she grabbed her lamb and started showing out, I don't know who has who spoiled, I have been taking her picture every month near the 20th with this lamb and when she wants me to take her picture she goes to the basket, pulls it out and goes through her poses.
Tuesday and Wednesday she didn't take her morning nap so after I feed her and we play a few minutes I say "are you ready to nap?" She climbs on the sofa with me, gets comfortable and she is asleep in less than 5 minutes. I kind of hate that she takes a good hour and half nap but I do love holding her and watching her sleep! Trey has been getting home early so we haven't had as much play time.
It makes me feel good that she would rather stay in my lap than even play with her Daddy, who she adores, she starts whining when I leave some days.
One of the women at work was talking with me, when you are a parent there are so many things on you that you can't enjoy and see how wonderful your child is like you can as a grandparent. I look at Charli at 14 months and she can point out her head, hair, eyes, nose and other body parts, she can follow 2 step directions, "pick it up and give it to MeMe" and is saying two words together, "Daddy Gone" "Hi, Tye" (my dog) I am sure my kids could do these things but I was too young to know how truly special it was!
I am sure it helps that I am trained to work with kids now and know how to play so they learn more and am very laid back and enjoy her.
Jeremy sent me another link to a video he made of Seth if you want to see it, Les said it didn't look like the baby we saw 8 months ago. There is a shot of the Army Build a Bear we sent him for his birthday. I am going to try to save the pictures off the video if I can.
My brother painted our bathroom and he and I plan to put a border up after work, It is a pretty blue and looks nice.
Well have a Super Day!

POP

Quick post today as it's time to leave for work but this page is Les with Charli. She called him Pop the other day. I used Hippity Hoppity that I put the link to yesterday with Connie's new Pretty Pastel Paper pack try saying that 3 times fast, LOL!
Trey is getting some chain to lower her swing but right now it is perfect for her POP POP to play with her!

Today is my brother's birthday, Les fixed his favorite foods last night since we have church tonight. He is 41.

Have a blessed day!
