Good Times

-

This week has been a great week!  It didn’t start off too well, but it has made up for itself.  For anyone who doesn’t know, our dog (Ty) has been taking beginner training classes for a few weeks now.  We have been going every Monday night to PetsMart for an hour to learn commands such as: sit, stand, down, up, leave it, take it, drop it, and STAY.  He is passing with flying colors with the exception of STAY!  We thought he would get to graduate last week, but unfortunately STAY did not go well.  I understand that he should not pass if he doesn’t know the commands, but still disappointed.  Monday night was not a good night.  Tuesday morning, I took a deep breath and decided this would not ruin my week. 

The week began to improve - - I like to sleep, I need sleep, I’m a happy person when I get to go to bed early, I get up on time and not in a rush, when I go to bed on time.  This week, Justin had a busy week at work and he was pretty exhausted when he came home each night.  So, we went to bed by 9:00pm every night this week!  Loved it!  We were on time for work and not rushed to get there! 

Tuesday night – I am taking IC3 training at school.  It’s a basic computer certification.  I did much better on my practice tests this week!  Wednesday night at church, the Bible Drillers made me smile!  They are working so hard and I get so excited to see their improvements!  Friday night, Justin and I had an indoor date night!  We ordered a pizza and watched a movie (Oceans 12).  I always enjoy watching a good movie, even if I’ve seen it a few times!  Saturday morning, we didn’t have to get up early (1st Saturday in about 6 weeks!)  We got up, made it Starbucks by 10:30, did a little leisurely shopping (had a blast, laughed a lot!), came home, visited with his parents while our dogs played, went out to eat, and once again went to bed early!

Now, nothing about this week made Ty learn to STAY any better, but we are working on this and will continue!  Hopefully, he will graduate tomorrow night and we advance to INTERMEDIATE classes!

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

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

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
