WE ARE ALWAYS PRAYING AND ASKING GOD FOR THINGS BUT SOMETIMES I THINK WE SHOULD DO WHAT HE COMMANDED.

HONOR YOUR FATHER AND MOTHER

WE ARE ALL BUSY THIS IS TRUE BUT WE COULD START TAKING TURNS SPENDING A DAY A MONTH WITH HER WHETHER IT IS AT HER HOUSE OR OURS.

RICK IS GOING TO THE GROCERY AND COOKING SO HE IS HELPING.SHE DOESNT ALWAYS LET HIM KNOW WHATS GOING ON .

SO THESE ARE MY THOUGHTS

IF I GOT HER THE FIRST FRIDAY ,DAVID THE SECOND ETC.,. THAT WOULD GIVE HER SOMETHING TO LOOK FORWARD TO , AS FOR HER HEALTH I THINK SOMEONE SHOULD BE CALLED AFTER EACH VISIT TO FIND OUT WHAT THE DOCTOR SAYS THIS WAY WE DONT HAVE TO DECIDE IF SHE IS EXAGGERATING OR NOT.

I'm always on here by myself too!

News on Mickey today - he was groggy and slept most of the day. They took him off the pain pump and are giving him IV dilaudid plus Lortabs. Still a lot of pain meds which is why he was so out of it - plus I don't think he got much sleep last night. I got him a chocolate milkshake at McD's (doctor told me it was ok)for lunch and they let him have some chicken noodle soup for dinner - he ate about 1/2 of it. Said if he tolerated those he could have more tomorrow, and he did pretty good. Still a little indigestion but not as much. I also got some rolaids and "snuck" those to him a couple of times. They said getting up would help also, and he got up twice and walked to the hallway and sat (slept) in the chair for 1 hour each time. They had the back brace for him today and put it on him when he gets up. He didn't like it much, but I think the first time they had it too tight. He didn't complain the second time when they loosened it up. Otherwise - day was pretty uneventful.

Sorry about your Mom. I know it's hard to know what to do and it gets frustrating. I think someone should really talk to the doctor so I hope they call you back Vicki. Maybe she needs to have someone explain to her what the doctor says. She may not be understanding what he/she tells her. I would pursue that. What is her doctor's name? It might help her to get out more, but I think that is also hard on her too - she is usually not well for a couple of days after going out. Once we get Mickey well maybe we'll try to get her to go to church with us. If Sunday mornings are too hard for her to get up maybe on Sunday or Wednesday nights. Visitors always cheer people up. I think everyone should just visit as often as they can and call when you can't visit. I know that Alan Matthews at church visits her occassionally. Schedules usually don't work very well.

OK - that's my 2 cents worth - I'm off to bed now!

Cara Patterson (Short) Sarah - I'll have to tell Mickey your joke. He's always complaining the doctors/nurses take too long to do anything so he'll think it's really funny!

Sherri Short (Chappell)

Lisa, thanks for calling Mom today. I know that I am 1,000 miles away, but atleast I can occupy her time by talking to her on the phone.

She said that she wants her house back so I told her that I would talk to Rick and politely ask him to leave. I told her that she had to be sure that that is what she really wants and that she has to be able to take care of herself or let someone know what she needs. She knows that she will have to call 911 if necessary, even if is a false alarm.

I told her that she has to do her part and that she cannot upset me 1,000 miles away and then be okay when someone else calls her. She is afraid and doesn't know what to do. Haven't we all been there (afraid) at one time or another.

She brought us all into the world, (like it or not) and I don't think that she ever complained about it being too much for her. GOD knows that it was too much. If she ever went insane over the years, it would have been justified....

Love you all very much!!!!! No saint, just speaking from the heart.

hey all!! went to lung doctor today.he said it usually takes 6 months for clots to go away but to keep doin what i do.
thanks for all the good wishes we will be celebrating next weekend because scott has to work saturday and sunday.the kids and i will be braving a road trip all alone so wish us luck.
cara thanks for your thoughts ,visitors are good and so is her getting out and you are right schedules dont work but there are enough kids and grandkids that if all of us visit once a month that would be more than enough visitors. we just all need to step up and do our share .

Hey all - Mickey hasn't had a good day, but I've been sick today and went to the doctor. I've been having migraines and was achy all over - probably stress but I wanted to get my migraine medicine filled. I had a lot of swollen muscles in my neck and some tingling in my back - so he sent me to get an x-ray. Gave me some new migraine meds and muscle relaxers. I was only at the hospital for a few hours today, and we both slept most of that time. Mickey got transfusions today, so hopefully that will make him feel better. Pain seems to be better, but he was complaining of his chest hurting so they did an EKG. He didn't feel like visitors today. Alan Matthews was up when I was there. Don't know much else. I'm at home and am going to just rest tonight and go back up early in the morning to see if I can catch the doctors.

Have a good trip Lisa and be careful. Give Johanna our love - tell her we're sorry we can't be there.

Cara, You MUST take care of you too! Stress can cause all kinds of problems. And wearing yourself out is not good. I am glad you all got some rest today. What did Mickeys EKG show and what did your x ray show??

What about Mickeys next surgery? Is it still this next week? What can I do to help you and Mickey? I can stay the night on Saturday, or next Wednesday if that will help at all. But anything you can think of, please let me know. We will pray for your migraines and your new meds. Thanks for keeping all of us updated.

David Short quote of the day No kind action ever stops with itself. One kind action leads to another. Good example is followed. A single act of kindness throws out roots in all directions, and the roots spring up and make new trees. The greatest work that kindness does to others is that it makes them kind themselves.

03/27/09 10:24 PM	#3948
Debra Lou Short (Dissell) So true, David! I love that commercial that shows that exact thing. 1 guy sees someone do something nice and so he does and someone sees him and so on and so on and so on and so.....
