Yesterday was a beautiful day out. Today was a dreary day. Cloudy, raining, and COLD!
October 25, 2003
The plans were to have a big birthday party, but the kids got sick. First Austin was sick so the party got cancelled. He has a viral infection now. Last night Noah started running a fever and is not feeling well. So we had a little family party here at home. Just me, Don, Austin, Noah, Grandma J, Papa W. Even though it wasn't a all blown out party we still have a nice time. Noah got his gifts from us and he was as happy as a sick little boy could be. Actually he found one gift hours before the party. Little stinker! He got clothes from us, a drum filled with music toys, a car wash and from papa and grandma he got a talking teddy bear and some clothes. Last night Jen D. brought him his gift, a Elmo tent. It is the cutest thing! Even has a side that he can draw on with crayon. He loves all his stuff. He still will get his hokie pokie elmo from a friend of ours, gifts from my mom and dad, and from my sister. So all in all the day went ok. Now he is resting. As I was driving home from the store with the birthday cake I started thinking about him being sick, and something came to me. When Austin had his 2nd birthday party he too was sick. And another thing, on Austin's 2nd birthday I had on the same dang shirt I was wearing today! Hey, it's a comfy shirt!
Austin is still kind of weak. He is resting alot, but no fever since Friday. He can go back to school come Monday. Now I don't know if Noah is going to be able to go to the sitters if he is sick. But boy Austin was a sick little guy this week. I have had to sleep on the bunk beds in the boys room with Austin 3 nights this week. My back is letting me know it doesn't like it either. But when your kid wants you close to them cause they don't feel good, you just do what you have to do.
Time to talk surgery
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Friday Don had a appointment with his cardiologist. Yes, it's time to talk surgery! Scary thing to talk about open heart surgery. Especially at the age of 32! Don knew that eventually he would have to have it done, but now that it HAS to be done we are both a little freaked out. He wants to wait 6 months. I say we shouldn't wait that long. His heart has enlarged some more, his heart beat is weak, especially for his age. He is having massive amounts of weight gain. And the dr. said to talk to me about when we want to do the surgery. Don wants to wait till at least after the holidays. I think it would be better to do it now, than later. But he says that he would rather wait till after christmas and all that way if something bad happens I wouldn't have to try to explain to the kids why daddy isn't around for christmas. Good grief! That was the last thing I wanted to hear! I don't want to even think of that. Just want the dr. to fix the leakage, then let Don recooperate from surgery. I want life to get back to normal. Or as normal as it gets around here.
We are praying that everything goes smoothly with the operation, when ever that may be. Please keep us in your thoughts and prayers. I would not know what to do without Don in my life or my boys lives. Don is my bestfriend, my lover, my life. I love him and don't want to lose him
Christa
