He came through surgery fine! They removed a few clots and a couple others have shrunken with treatment. They're going to keep a close eye on him, and he's hopefully going back to regular hospital again later today!

We leave Sunday morning. We'll be at the airport at 5 am!!

I'm so glad you have the Disney trip now!! It sounds like you need it. Good news about your dad! Have they got him on blood thinners for the clot, or is that too risky with the Aneurysm?

Thank you sir. You were an inspiration.

Thank you for that. I hope you're right. She gets new toys a lot at his house and candy and cookies and fruit snacks, etc. So when she asks for it and I say no she says "I want to go to daddy's house" and it hurts my heart.

Dang that sucks. I know it doesn't make it easier at the time but I am sure as she gets older she will appreciate all that you have done for her.

I'm honestly not sure. We have received different answers from different doctors.

Ugh...frustrating. At least you get answers from the doctor. When my dad had his strokes, they couldn't give me any information without his permission because of Hippa laws or something like that. They hadn't realized I was the daughter he told them would be calling, so they HAD permission, but there's some specific code number you need and he didn't know about that, so hadn't given it to me. They've got so many things to do that they are run ragged...it's amazing when you can get a person to talk to you and tell you what's going on. Hang in there...I know it's scary and super frustrating, but I'm sure they are doing what they need to do, and my feeling was "Well, it's not like I could do anything for him....I'm not a doctor". Have you given them the information about where they can reach you while you are on your trip?

She is 3 and a half. She will one day understand why you do the things you do. He is trying to buy her love, and she is too little to understand. You can say to her that you love her and when it comes to candy and fruit snacks that you don't want her to get boo boo's on her teeth.

I'm so sad when kids act ungrateful. My niece does this and it makes me want to grab what I bought and take it back!

My granddaughter just had her 16th birthday. I was shocked by her lack of appreciation for what their family went through to make it a good one for her. First, they are the ones that are having a very bad time with a house remodel and are living in a tent in their backyard with only the kitchen of their house accessible. Her father baked a special birthday cake based on her favorite online thing, Minecraft. A very complex patchwork type design that because he was having a foot problem and he had to be on his feet for hours, caused a bad reaction on his foot with a lot of pain and finally a boot to prevent excessive movement. She didn't like how the cake looked or the texture of the frosting. Then they gave her an extra book with some type of Japanese connection that, simply, used the back to front method of writing, but, in English. She hated it and loudly complain about it, asking them what were they thinking getting such a lame thing and why did they think she was even want it. All of her other desires for birthday present started at $700.00, which of course she didn't get. She was a royal pain that embarrassed me, for her parents, that they quietly sat and didn't react to her snottiness.

Different times I guess, but, she would have been wearing at least part of that cake and, if nothing else, pointed out just how rude and obnoxious she was being. Actually, I might have mentioned something to that affect. Maybe I'm just getting old.

I can empathize with you there. It’s been a rough couple of weeks here.. I like my new job, I know that it’s better in the long run and I’ll eventually get to spend more time with T, but so far this week (outside of 2 hours on Wednesday) I haven’t seen him besides school drop off and then at 10-11pm carrying him to the car, asleep/half asleep, after waking him up to take him home.
Yesterday morning while getting ready for school, he says “I really want you to get married. I’d like to have a dad.” My heart shattered into a million pieces.

It’s not easy on kids or parents.. but overall there’s so many more good moments than the heart breaking ones. It doesn’t make those moments hurt any less though. You’re in my thought girl!!!

Kids do not mince words, do they? I wouldn't even be able to come up with a response to that one. Hope things are better today.

I really cannot complain about my kids. Mine would never have acted like that. Hopefully your granddaughter had some remorse later.

T came in second in the race. He was so mad, momentarily. lol. I have to share these two photos though.. these two were in such synchronization the entire time, the other kid was smart and stetched his foot farther than T’s at the finish line, beautiful leap.. It was fun to watch! All of the kids did great. :)
Best part- we raised a ton of money for the school!

Oh I was so mad at him for this. Not one smile!! Today is their run and 50 yard dash race. He’s mad because he wanted red UA sweatbands to embellish his look.. not the gray Nike. We had an argument on the way to school :(. I REFUSE to feel bad!! I’m not. I just wish he wouldn’t have acted like that.. like a brat, seriously he was acting like a brat over what I bought for him.

He was so excited and so determined to win the race, woke up in such a great mood, jumped out of bed. Then he saw the new bands on his bathroom counter. I knew he wanted red but I bought the gray because he could possibly reuse them in a sport, he wouldn’t be able to reuse the red. I’m angry that I even bought him anything at all after his reaction this morning.

so.. he asked for the red specifically and you knew it.. and you still went for the grey because he could "rehuse" it? :|
