WOW, I am not sure where to even start, I can't believe that is has been 6 months since I posted a blog! I was blessed with two beautiful grandbabies in October, Mylee Rayne came to Ty and Katie on the 19th and then surprise!!! Bryson Michael came to Nick and Tawni on the 20th. We were all so shocked, they were supposed to be about 2 weeks apart but obviously they had their own ideas, Katie was going to be a c-section, she went natural, Tawni was going to be natural she needed a c-section, babies have their own minds. I have had so much fun hugging and squeezing babies the last few months, I m so lucky. I have been feeling better all the time, nothing really to report on the cancer scene so thats good news.
We had a great Thanksgiving at Ty and Katies, most of the kids and grandkids were there. Of course it is hard to get everyone on the same meal plan, due to other families and distance etc. We miss those who arent able to make it. I didnt have near enough time though in one evening to enjoy all those grandchildren and new babies. Right before Christmas I had a horse riding accident, and broke a couple ribs and bruised my butt and back so bad they stuck me in the hospital for like 5 days and gave me 3 units of blood, but once again I am strong and recovered enough to get out of the hospital the day of our family Christmas party, barely made it in time, whew. So anyway the doctor says no more horses, but I say I am not living that way. Kent and the Kids say no more young horses for me to train, so I gave in kinda. Now I only do ground training and ride my well trained mares. I don't think I would be a very nice person without my horses.
In January on the 20th, like 2 weeks early, Adalynn D was born and chose to live with Tony and Emily, she is so precious ! They are so far away that I had to wait until my planned trip the end of Feb to get to see her. The end of February I had my normal appointment at the cancer clinic. We then went to Charleston Mnt resort for Tawnis birthday, umm good food. Shaylie had asked me "when are you ever gonna stay at my house?" earlier that day, it was so cute. I stayed with her that night, all the parents went to see a movie or something, and I watched the kids. The next day I drove down to Mesa for 2 weeks to see Tony with his family and new baby. The 2 weeks went by really fast, we had Kennedys birthday while I was there and Adalynns blessing, and I spent some quality time with Carter. I think this is the first time that I have spent so much time with Tony at once in his adult life, we are always so busy with different things in life, I really enjoyed it. And if was fun to see him with his tiny baby, he is soooo in love with her. I was totally impressed with his relationship with Kennedy and Carter, he has truely taken them to his heart as "his". I got to enjoy time with Emily and understand how she and Tony and so right for each other.
I followed Nick and Tawni back to Nevada, and took Kennedy with me to spend some Grammi time at the farm. Nick and Tawni had signed up for a half marathon, thats like a 13 mile run....crazy kids. Anyway Kennedy and I stayed at their house Friday night and got to babysit Bryson the next morning while they ran. I think I had WAY more fun than they did, they were moving slow when they got home, but I am SO proud of them for getting out there and doing it. Bryson is so funny he laughs all the time and trys to talk,,,,,,,,,,,,Kennedy got to be the "big" girl and help me watch Bryson and play with him......so cute
Well after church on Sunday we all started making fresh squeezed orange juice (yummy arizona oranges from Elggrens) and Sylvia calls because Darold is back in the hospital and his bladder is leaking into his abdomen which will cause septic infection, they aren't sure if he will make it through surgery if that is what they try. It was very scary and a lot of things happening and going thru my mind. The next day he wasn't any better, kinda going up and down, so I flew to Oregon to be with him. He was intubated, had iv's everywhere, bags to drain everything, machines to keep his lungs going and moniters for everything, and was drugged so he couldn't fight it. It was very saddening, he has fought a hard battle for most of his life. Finally after a week of prayers, and sitting and watching him go in and out of consciousness, and seeing him struggle to talk and pretty much living at the hospital, he was doing well enough I felt like I could come home.
This morning, I got a phone call from my brother, he said "HI SIS" in a very deep voice (from the trac and tubing) and what a thrill that was to hear his voice for the first time since March 14. I know this blog is supposed to be about how I am dealing with cancer, but really right now I dont seem to have time for cancer, there are too many more important things going on.
Oh almost forgot, in January, Kami announces she is pregnant. Two weeks later KJ and his girlfriend, Cricket announce they are pregnant....Kami is due Sept 5, Cricket is due Sept 20....is this like deja vue ? Tawni and Katie ? ....who next? I dont know, we will see, but there is no time for cancer in my world !!!!! Love it, Dont you ?
