Life Lately - Hospitals and Hurricanes

Sunday
It was a very scary day at the hospital - Dad's doctor told us that he would probably not leave the hospital due to everything he had going on - infection, seizures, fever, heart in a fib, oxygen dropping, etc.  Around 10:00 am he wasn't responsive anymore so it was a long night!

Monday
Spent lots of time with this boy - so thankful he is my brother!  He was a rock for our family! 
He's back - so thankful!

Tuesday
We took the kids to see dad - Caleb crawled right in the bed with him!
Happy boys right there! 
Ella preferred to snuggle with Mammy 
MeMe was a lifesaver - she came and stayed from Sunday to Thursday and did everything for me so I could be with dad - laundry, cooking, cleaning, homework!
Ella wasn't happy about learning her site words. 
Playing Crazy 8s before school one morning

Thursday 
I came home from the hospital and we ate Chinese late with the Boltons after they helped us rearrange some furniture at Mom and Dad's house.  Think this girl missed me!
Blowing kisses and sending a picture to Mammy

Friday 
Lunch with my girl! 
Lunch with Caleb and his buddies - they were supposed to be on a field trip but it was cancelled due to the state of emergency 
We got some things ready for Granddaddy to come home - but he wasn't able to due to late approval by the insurance company  
We went and ate at San Jose for Corey's birthday on Friday night 
And came home and made his birthday request - a cheesecake! 
The reason why they help me - to lick the beaters! 
Sharing a spoon

Saturday
It was Corey's birthday and Hurricane Matthew hit us!
Kent and Joey went to Raleigh to help get mom home but the transport team stopped transporting patients so dad didn't get to come home  - again!
They had a time getting back home!
The kids put on a puppet show and fashion show 
Kids were rafting in the ditches in the rain 
Corey's birthday dinner - Kent and Melanie stayed with us since their yard has a lot of big trees! 
Not Corey's idea of birthday fun  - stuck inside with 4 kids  - ha!  JK - We enjoyed being together!
Corey's Cheesecake - always his request 
Cousin sleepover - the littlest ones crashed first

Sunday 
Ella taking pictures 
Bacon and eggs for breakfast 
Riding around checking out the conditions after the hurricane 
The road right past our neighborhood was blocked off due to Silver Lake damn breaking and flooding Lake Wilson which flooded some of the yards right down the street from us

AND - Dad finally came home!

What a week!!!
