Home is behind, the world ahead, |
Thank you SuziQ - I love what I have seen of the Usborne books. Chik-fil-A apparently has some kind of set up with Usborne and DK publishing, because when Erin would get her Kid's Meal, they would usually have a booklet of various topics in with the meal (instead of a goofy toy) and I loved the way the books were set up.
speaking of which, Erin just had her Dad download some music from Yo Yo Ma and Bach to listen to...she loves the cello
Everyone, please pray for a speedy recovery for Ramius!
He's been admitted to the hospital... it turns out it wasn't a hernia like they thought, but rather is an abcess. Apparently yesterday at urgent care he saw a nurse who diagnosed it to be a hernia and he never saw a doctor. The surgeon today was not too pleased about that, because it has of course had time to get worse now. Hopefully antibiotics will act quickly to reduce infection and pain... they are taking it pretty seriously.
Right now he's sitting in a hospital type room watching TV... He's tired, he's been too uncomfortable to sleep much. We're planning to go up there in the morning.
Prayers up!!
How long is he going to be there?
Oh dear!! Will be praying for him!
:(
Glad the Doc caught it and got him into the hospital right away!
Oh dear...prayers up!
Oh, Hair, I'm so sorry! Please tell him to rest up and get well from us. OB's whittling wood in Marshall, but I'll be sure and tell him tomorrow when I drive over to visit him and meet the g'nads.
Prayers up for Ramius, and for the surgeon!
He doesn't know.... He hasn't seen the doc again since admitting. They're kindof waiting around for him now.
~fret~
Finished up our field and labwerk around 2:00....then went to 2 wineries to taste some wine. Needed a nap after that. :)
Oh dear! Should I cut the trip plans short?
Would have been a little picnic, I imagine.
No - I don't think so, he could be out by tomorrow, I don't think he'll be in there days, unless I just don't have a grasp on the situation. When I asked him, he said it was too soon to decide about Sunday, but if he's up to it, we can still go up there. [he just won't be able to play beach volleyball] ;~D
I think we'll know more tomorrow. I'd like to think we'll be fine to go do all our sightseeing and such as planned. Do you have limitations on your ticket?
Bests to the Keptin.
I dunno how much they'd charge to change them. I guess I should check it out. I don't think I got a discounted fare to begin with.
We're still looking forward to you coming! We have the house all cleaned up, would be a shame if no one came to see it :~D
Okay.
They charge a $100 fee just to change a reservation....jerks!
Hope Ramius will be feeling chipper soon!
I do too... Abcesses are painful, but if they can get it drained it and some antibiotics in 'im, it feels better immediately. I think he's hospitalized because it went a day longer than they should have, and they're very concerned about him moving around and causing it to break up and spread infection throughout the body.
I hear they gave him Morphine... so he's out of it now.
Lets do this.... we might have to ad lib about Sunday if he's still hurting, but I think we can still do what we planned.
Okay....that sounds good. Don't want to put any strain or anything on Ramius if he isn't feeling well.
