Blogging in bed . . .

-

There is nothing better, than laying in bed at 9:30 with no cares and a blog to share your thoughts.  (Well there may be better things, but this is pretty good right now!)  I never convince Justin that it is ok to go to bed before 10, but tonight I got my way.  Well, it helps that we have become 65 year olds.  At least that is what I tell Justin, with his morning, noon, afternoon, and night medicine box; blood pressure cuff by the bed; and still using the heater in April!  So, tonight we added going to be at 9:00!  I love it!!  We watched “Horton Hears a Who” tonight. Even though we are a few weeks late in keeping up with the new releases, it was a very cute movie.  We were hoping to rent Marley and Me, but it was not at the Redbox.  If you haven’t tried using Redbox, you should!

Speaking of heat (I bolded it above – in case you didn’t follow), the cold weather can go now.  I actually did something today I’ve never had to do.  This true country girl covered her recently planted hydrangea trees with garbage bags and covered the strawberry plants (which already have blooms) and periwinkle (which may have already died) with sheets to keep out the cold.  I had to bring in some pot plants too.  Wow, I had no idea I could actually take care of flowers!  I hope my mother-in-law is proud.  She is the best gardener, and did a great job of teaching her son!

Enough rambling . . . The back of my eyelids are calling.  Thanking the Lord tonight for a warm bed and a wonderful husband!

Abigail...we have aged, but at least together. I too go to bed with the chickens...like 8:30 most nights. Also last night I raced to get sheets on my azaelas and my ornamental cannas. I did make sure they all matched. We may be country but at least I kept my style, I draped my plants with lovely, purple sheets. Thought you may want to know I am aging with you!

Room Service

-
Justin has been moved to a room this morning!  He is doing great!  All of the doctors and nurses are very excited about his progress.  Before leaving ICU, they removed most of his “stuff” (except for one IV).  This allow him to move around more freely, which is the next step.  Justin will be getting up and walking around this afternoon.  He is also just starting to eat again.  If you think about it, he hasn’t had anything since Monday night supper.  So, it will be like learning how to eat after the stomach virus.  We are praying this doesn’t make him sick.  They will also be giving pain medicine by mouth, so we are also praying that his pain continues to stay under control! He is making such great progress!  I think he is far ahead, especially with moving around, than he was this far out of last year with his surgery!  That is exciting!  Praising the Lord for this! Loving your comments, I read them to Justin as he is dozing in and out.  I can’t wait to read them to him when he is

Update and Welcome

I know that many of you are new to our blog, so welcome! Justin and I enjoy blogging about our lives, but I know that many of you have just joined us for surgery. So, please stay tuned for the rest of our lives as well! Justin is doing well. He has rested most of the day. He also sat up in a chair for an HOUR! He said his chest pain was fine, but he couldn't get his neck comfortable in that chair ( because he wanted to SLEEP!) He has been a great patient and has his normal humor. He also has comments that make little to no sense and probably won't remember most of this! Funny Comments from Justin today - Mrs. Anita was talking to Justin and finally said, "I think you're sleeping, so I'm going to leave you along. " to which Justin replied (With eyes closed) - "I can multitask!" Mom was cracking jokes by his bed and said, "I guess you don't think this is funny." And I said, "That's ok , right Justin, that is how we tal

Congrats to . . . 1. Suzy, my cousin, for guessing the name before the last letter was released!  She was the first to send in the correct answer! 2. Chris and Paige; Chad and Ashley; and Lindsay for sending in correct answers on the blog!  Great job to Paige for being creative in her posting! 3. Ashley V. for texting in the correct answer! 4. Mrs. Donna for knowing before the last letter was posted and just heard the letters during choir practice! 5. Larry Swords for correctly guessing through a verbal guess! Charles Elliot McMillen will be joining us in a few short months!  It sounds even closer when you count it in weeks – 15 more weeks to go! Charles – Justin’s father and grandfather both had the first name of Charles!  Charles means strong, manly; valiant one. Elliot – Jehovah is my God – When we first talked about the name, we were still talking about other options until we found the meaning!  We love the meaning of his name! Thank you for playing along in ou
