grandpa is healthy and back at home! he was in the hospital for a full week and each day he has gotten better and stronger. he ended up having a quadruple bi-pass. they even used a vein from his leg and put it in his heart! so amazing, the things they can do to fix us these days! i must admit though, it was pretty tough to see him the first day, directly after his surgery. he was hooked up to a ventilator and was out cold, hooked up to a ton of machines. he's a tough guy though, he was off of the ventilator that same evening :)
THE FOLLOWING SHOULD NOT BE READ BY THOSE WITH WEAK STOMACHES!!!
on a completely unrelated matter...we are in the middle of moving. it seems like everything that can go wrong IS going wrong. my morning sickness has been pretty bad lately and i've been having nearly unbearable headaches. my doctor told me the other day that i will need to get checked out for a rare brain condition, because of the types of migraines i have...fun, huh?! besides the lovely moving, morning sickness and brain pains, my poor little girl is really sick. she started throwing up yesterday about every 20 minutes or so. eventually it stopped and she began to be herself again, but then she started having some seriously explosive diarrhea. last night she seemed like she was getting better, but this morning when she came in to my room after waking up, following her was a very putrid odor...i made the mistake of taking a few minutes to get dressed for the day and brush my hair, rather than changing her immediately. when i picked her up to lay her on the leather couch, i noticed her pants were wet...her diaper had leaked pretty bad into her pant legs. i slowly took the pants off and began to change the diaper...the best description i can give is melted peanut butter...there was so much that when i tried to move the diaper it oozed on to my calf! let me remind you, that i am already having a hard enough time NOT puking all the time...this was definitely a test for my barf reflexes...i tried to wipe the warm mess off my leg, but as i rubbed, it just got messier and messier! i then noticed that in my frenzied clean up efforts, more had oozed onto the couch! it was terrible...i finally gave up, grabbed a few grocery bags and discarded the nasty diaper mess and took Chloe into the shower with me where i proceeded to scrub as if i had never showered before. OH THE JOYS OF PARENTHOOD! in all seriousness though, Chester took her to urgent care about an hour ago. hopefully we will be able to get this thing figured out, poor baby!
PS....had a baby doc appointment the other day...heard heart beat for the first time! baby is growing healthy and strong...may even be a little further along than 12 weeks! wahoo!!!!
