Prayers.
He will be sleeping for a few days to re group but with big smiles...here is the latest.
Chris had his first long day out.
He is pooped.
Started out that 3 hrs to get up and out but I headed it off at the come home mode.
I had his bed and bath water care needs ect all set up so the unload was done in expediently.
He thought all Mom is going to do is give me this dumb balloon. That dumb balloon was like a clue to a treasure hunt that will last
for the next 2 weeks of activities.
Yes I am enjoying being innovative to keep Chrissy thriving socially without the over do it medical issues.
Prayers are being answered as everyone we encounter who is new to our paths are use to be medical careproviders/nurses/ect.
That is where I am drawing my strength from the unknown folks I am meeting.
Good Day with his Doc and shared education since the 12 day hosp exp is really helping us and others.
We will continue the quiet home life as it is really good for Chris’ aging needs but when he is doing well .....um I will be springing yahoo times of social contacts and living life.
We cannot commit to dates but I do have the beauty of getting him to events when “it” all comes together so he does not lose hope in his lifelong social life.
Great Serenade from three Gals singing Happy Birthday to him on a whim while out and about.
I am so grateful for Prayers and support but what is awesome is folks come up and visit and enjoy his huge smile but keep it “real” and not where he goes off into bronchial excited spasms.
I am carrying suction with us now and the is a real help when the flood gates open.
Other things are happening that are awesome with new staff and vendors that will make daily life calm so he can go out and still have the dayz of over stimuli for a few hours and fill his mind.
We never tell him what is coming as he will go nuts thinking and not sleeping in anticipation but now mums the word and when it hits he is home after smiling at all the after thoughts. Yes.
I learned so much at Medical Center and have things on track.....still have the blues here and there but could be my age and growing up to another phase in life.
God Bless. Thank You. Jo, Chrissy and the Pups

Tell KV we're sending him our best prayers and good wishes!

The cloak of Mary under me,
Come, young Michael the Archangel, and take my hand."

P.Chanzee Dyper (dawg)and Jo,
Happy Birthday a few days late! Thoughts and prayers are always with you!
Of course they did. Y'all are their world.
Besides, dogs are not dummies, they know what is going on.
Belated Happy Birthday to King Vanity! “Slow and easy does it” every time.
Was he rooting for Apolo Anton Ohno on Dancing? He and Julianne made a darling winning pair! I loved all three finalists and would’ve been happy with any of them as #1.
Hope you got to watch and listen to the patriotic music on PBS last night or elsewhere - all the stirring marches and John Phillip Sousa are so inspiring. Josh Turner was wonderful.
Thinking of you both every day and prayers still said to cover you!
Rest, darn ya, rest! You, too, KV!

Hi All,
The prayer request is for Me (mom) to be accepted by a new physician who works in the office where King Vanitys’ primarycare provider is.
My doc is great but with our pseudo homebound going to Waldport with King Vanity with me for my well checks won’t work.
The gal Doc (and I am not hip to female docs but she seems like one that is passionate about her Profession and has great common sense)
I would like to transfer to this internist who has helped/supported me when she has been on call for King Vanitys’’ doc.
So my big gift/prayer need is that Dr. ####### will take me on as her patient.
King Vanitys’ tummy bloated out again and she suggested putting him on chicken broth to keep his electrolytes level but no sugar as in the juice mode ( he is predisposition to diabetes since the last hospital stay)
So 2 cans and 12 hours later the area of his intestine that keeps shutting down cut loose and it was (funny) a long toot that made his waterbed rumble.
I would say he could have set off an earthquake richter scale. Twice /sarcasm
So his tummy is now soft and pliable and I started back on watered down g tube formula feedings..
He is having normal passage sometimes 3x a day of digested formula/food (trying to be delicate). With the reglan meds.
The only thing I can think of why he is bloated out again was we were getting back to him sitting up often in his wheel chair.
He is always laughing and joyful and he got a big kick out of hearing via the stethascope the undersea volcanic rumblings of the obstructed area.
(he loves deep sea Marine Sci)
I don’t expect ya’ll to get it all.
However he really needs (me too) an RN or medical advisor to come out for a consult on his healthcare needs.
Private paid or ins. company not Govt. issued.
The doc has to order this as we now have our blood work ******view Lab come to the house to draw on both of us.
If ya’ll wonder why I am sticking by King Vanity 100% you have to know that 28yrs ago when he was stillborn I asked God to give me my son and Promised to do anything it takes to love, care and protect my child.
I don’t ever make promises lightly and have never made one other than the above to our Creator.
Job had a rough time with human obstacles/ailments but he never once lost his faith. He did express anger, anxiety, and the whole array of emotions.
Job right now is my best friend in the strength from an icon mode.
King Vanity has enjoyed all the notes and cards from the local town folk.
He loves when I yell “mail call”
I imagine are young American Troops enjoy that holler too.
He has enjoyed those who have came to the home and spent time with him.
We are blessed but the roller coaster of life is becoming a more frequent ride.
God Bless all ya’ll for sending up petitions of Prayer for KV and
I.
As my favorite Priest/Father always says Persevere, Persevere, Persevere.
Thanks. OP(global), King Vanity and the pups (who btw got in big trouble they blitzed by me at the door and went up the street through an electric fence and into an open window to chase kitties.....the owner was kind enough to call me and not the L######## County Sherriffs’ Dept..
Other than scaring the family and their kitties no property damage was done. They almost took out a computer set up to find the kitties. It was Hunter and Porter I was able to keep Ya’ll from dodging out the door.)
BTW see above end of post on the labs/boyz.
Hunter who has not bedded up with KingVanity since the 12 day hosp trip has since he did the two long toots this early A.M. jumped from my lil twin bed and is now sleeping once again with his Master, KV.
I just wonder if he is not the one who went through the neighbor (acres away) electrical fence first. He seems very subdued.
The fence is set up to disable after it gets tripped.
She said that should have thwarted the boyz on the first tazor.
oh my Thank God once they entered the open window on the kitty chase to the now adult daughters room they did not “hunt” the kitties.
Thank God for gracious neighbors.
Oh - baaaaad dogs ;~\
Continued prayers for you and KV.
Gee, and I thought Hunter and Porter lived in CoCoCo,CA! LOL, you know what I mean.
My prayers are continuing and I hope they’re doing some good for mom and KV both to get some needed respite. I just know it will work out for you, I do!
God bless you both!
