Being Part of a Miracle!!!

I have so much that has been going on in the past weeks but I will have to catch up on that after my surgery on Monday:)

But yesterday was an amazing day. Yesterday I got to go with my best friend for her to be induced and to be there for her through the whole thing and see her deliver he precious baby boy!!! It was sooooooooooooooooo amazing. To see a miracle from GOD enter this world is such and awesome experience and it reminds you of how big he really is:)

She was induced at 7am and then the labor began and she did well till about 2 and then the big contractions started and then when she needed the epidural another patient had and emergency and was rushed to the OR so they did not have anyone that could do her epidural so for the next hour and half she had to just work through the pain which she did like a champ:) Then they got her her epidural and things started to be better for her but then two hours later her eye was bothering her and then her arm went numb. I guess this is very rare but they had to shut off her epidural because if it continued it could have caused her to not be able to breath. So as it started to wear off again she had to do it all natural. She did amazing!!!!! Then when it was time to push I got to hold her right leg while her husband held her left leg and she pushed like crazy!!! They did not know the sex of the baby so when dad got to announce it was a BOY!! Lots of tears were shed around the room and the bonding began for mom and the baby:) Baby Boy was

9lbs 13 1/2 OZ 20 1/2" long and a 15" head. We all got a chance to hold him and say our hellos. Then at 11pm-16 hours after arrival I headed back. I will see them one more time before I have to leave back to Colorado. I will miss them VERY MUCH!!!

Just so thankful that all turned out well and that baby is happy and healthy:) And even more grateful my best friend of 21 years is happy and healthy!!!

so much been happening

A lot has been happening but I haven't been able to get online. So I will have to get back to catching my blog up after my surgery on the 30th. I will be having my right arm repaired this time so it may take a while to be able to type. But I will get back to it then. Hope all is well with everyone, I need to get caught up!!!

Hanging on by a thread!1

that is what the doctor said about my bicep tendon. I will have surgery on the 30th to repair that one now. Today Kohanna is in getting his first treatment for his heartworm so praying all goes well. Not much else for news right now. Thanks for all the thoughts and prayers!!!

News On Kohanna-Not the best:( But hopeful!

So Kohanna hasn't been quite himself lately and has been having some breathing issues so after rescheduling him a couple times this week for emergency doc visits and MRI we got him into the vet yesterday. They did blood work and x-rays. We looked at x-rays yesterday and they looked really good, actually better than she thought for an old dog like him. Then today she called with the results of blood and it is heartworm:( that is NOT good. But she said it is probably early in the stages so she thinks we can do the treatment and he will be ok. So next week he will go in for his treatments. Two days in a row. He will get an injection deep in his back muscle so he will be on pain meds and then they will monitor him all day. Then we pray he is able to shed the dying worms without any issues and then no activity for the next month, not even walks. For Kohanna that won't be an issue:) lazy boy!!! She said other than this his bloodwork is awesome so he should have an even longer life:)

Now to get our other boys tested soon and make sure they get on prevention. Didn't know it was around here but I guess Grand Junction has quite a bit of it. So praying theirs comes out negative and we can get Kohanna better!

This just made me laugh:)

This was a big window down town that had gotten broken:( But what someone wrote on the boards. Funny:)

MRI today

So on Wed at my physical therapy appt my physical therapist was working on my right arm, which is my good-bad arm. The one we haven't done surgery on. She was just trying to slowly straighten it and all the sudden I felt a bad pull-tear feeling and then severe, severe pain. It didn't go away with ice and heat or time so I made an appt to see my orthopedist yesterday and he thinks the bicep tendon tore more and will need surgery but they need an MRI to know for sure. So I go up to aspen today for the MRI and get the results Tues. Praying everything works out for the best!!

Hope 2012 goes better than it has started

Well I really hope 2012 goes better than it has started. Yesterday Eric's groin area and leg started having really sharp pains, and then at 2:30am this morning he woke me up in excruciating pain, this man hates hospitals and such and he was saying he needed to go so I knew it was bad pain. So we loaded him up and took him in and Dr says he thinks it may be a nerve sewn up in the mesh or something. Gave him a shot of pain meds and upped some meds and sent us on our way. It is off and on now so hopefully no more BAD pain. Then as we pulled into the driveway this horrible rubber smell came through the vents. Checked it today and the line for the oil pressure to the turbo broke:( We did finally after most of the day get the parts to fix it. Then get home and my old dog Kohanna isn't feeling well. Got a fever and the chills and just not himself:( I am going to watch him for a little while and see if he will be ok through the night and into the dr tomorrow:( Just hoping it gets better from here.

Hope everyone has had a better start to their new year!!!
