Going Home

We have decided that ten years in Alaska is long enough and we are ready to go home. Home being Florida. We are looking to find a place in North Florida where most of our family is. If anyone sees a great deal on a home let us know! We are looking.

 

PS Happy Ground Hogs Day!

Bye Bye Freddies
Well I finally gave my notice at Fred Meyer. I have been working there for five years and I decided it was time to move on. I have several opportunities I want to persue from home and I really just want to spend more time with the kids :)

Home Sick

I NEVER take days off sick. As a matter of fact for the last three weeks that I have been at work I have either had a cold or sore throat, but as long as I think I can work productivey and keep my germs to myself..I go in.

I went in to work yesterday and when I went to speak to my supervisor I realized I didn't have a voice at all! So they sent me home. Today I got up to say hello to Woody dog (to see if i had a voice) and it came out more like a "honk" kinda sounded like a goose. So I texted Cliff and had him call in for me as I don't think they would have been able to understand me.

It is hard to be home and not up running around doing things, but I know the whole point of staying home is resting.

Happy 18th Birthday Cody
It is hard to believe my baby turned 18 years old! We had the family over for pizza and cake. We had a really nice time getting everyone together. We had thought about a cook out but it is threatening snow already! The mountains are white and our temperatures dipping in thirties... brrrr

Back on dry land

We had a great time on our cruise. I still feel like I am moving though. I guess it is called land sickness. The ground keeps moving! The seas were rough, but I did fine on the cruise.

We are off to Dixie County for a few days to be with Mom and Dad as that is where they have settled in. If anyone wants there mailing address there, just drop me a line and I can get it for you.

It will be good to see all of the family and friends in that neck of the woods for a few days. Maybe we can get everyone together to play some music :)

Hurricane Ike

It has been a hectic few days. We drove down to New Port Richey and met up with as many friends and family members as we could yesterday. It was great to see everyone and I didn't want to leave as there were so many people we didn't get to see. We really just need to move back home!

We are off to chase Hurricane Ike in the morning, Cliff and I, Crystal and Ivo off on an adventure for a week! i will not have internet or cell phone connection. I am not sure how I will survive!

Back to Ocala

Dad is doing pretty good. He is settled in at Steve's house for now. Still no word from the VA on when he will start physical therapy. Hopefully they get the ball rolling soon or Mom and Dad will just head back to Cross City as the VA there said they have openings for him to be seen.

I leave today to meet Cliff in Florida for our pre-planned vacation. We are celebrating 20 years of marraige and taking a cruise.

Dad's Accident
Well I don't really have too much new information. I spent most of my day trying to work it out to get a flight to Asheville so the boys could get back to work without feeling like they are leaving mom alone. I wasn't able to get that worked out but Matthew will be there this weekend and Steve back there Sunday night. They say he will be in Asheville hospital at least thru Monday and that they won't really get an update from the doctors on what is next until then. His next move will probably be to a rehab center, just not sure where yet.
What they are working on right now is getting dad's medications worked out to where his pain is reduced without keeping him so sedated. He doesn't stay awake and will fall back to sleep midsentence at this time. What he says isn't making much sense either. Like he asked where Cliff went? Or who had surgery?? He asked mom to wake the little people up as it was time to go while I was on the phone with her. Then he said he needed to go check the bid on the Home Depot job and said he was ready to go.. stuff like that. She attributes it to the heavy medication.
Mom is there with him thru the night and one of the boys during the day to make sure he doesn't pull off his oxygen or pull at his staples, things like that. To help him try to eat a bit or get a drink. Mom says they are trying to keep him coughing and breathing deep to keep his lungs dry as if he takes off his O2 that he develops a temperature.
Also Mom said to thank everyone for calls and emails that she has received but not had a chance to reply to and for all the thoughts and prayers. She and Dad send their love..
If you have any questions or anything let me know and I will try and find out.

Dad's Accident
Dad's surgery today lasted longer then they expected. They were able to place two screws to help minimize pain and stabilize the fracture in his hip. Once he was out of surgery he was extremely tired but able to answer the questions asked him. (cognitive testing) Steve and Erica, Timmy and Matthew were there all day. Matthew brought mom back for her overnight shift and he went home to get some rest. When I talked to Matthew he sounded completely exhausted.
Matthew and Erica both mentioned that dad had another head scan this morning because he is seeing flashes of light and floaters in his eye. I am concerned about his retina and would like it if an eye specialist came in. They were waiting to hear from the neurologist who never did come by. But the nurse said that probably means the results of the scan were fine... Erica also said dad really wasn't feeling well at all and looked pretty rough. Matthew said he just thought he needed some sleep after a rough surgery. 
I am hoping for more detailed news tomorrow as by the time I get off work they are all resting and I hate to call them late, so hopefully I can talk to them in the morning.
Cindy
