More News…….

Well my Dad is still being my Dad! He popped my collar bone out today by not standing. Now my collar bone pops out at times but not at my shoulder area where most do it does it in the area clavicle connects at the front. I know it is gross and even grosses out my Dr. when it does it. I now just get it to pop backin myself. So that hurt like heck today besides my back. We had to go to the hospital today for his pre-op since they have finally scheduled his surgery on his right leg Monday at 12:30 (heh he will be late because they get backed up in surgery.)
When we finally got home from that ALL afternoon affair my middle daughter had called to tell me the news about my Grand-daughter Arianna that is 4 years old. She is the one that has all the problems hearing and is "trying" to learn signing. Well they had done an EEG on her and found out she has Static encephalopathy – Unchanging, or permanent, brain damage . This is due to the lack of oxygen when she was born. Brandi was 10 1/2 months along and she kept telling the Dr. something was wrong and she would NOT listen to her. She was finally induced and Arianna was face up in the Birth canal and stuck with lack of oxygen. She was in the NICU for a few days in complete darkness and could not be held or anything. Still the Dr.’s would not listen atleast here in this state. She is finally getting things done and is being tested for a school where she is now that deals with children that are handicapped. The Dr’s told her she has mild retardation, problems with vision, hearing, as well as, several other problems. The Shriner’s still help her with the development issues with her legs and the braces she has to wear. They stated she had the mentality at this point of a 2 year old. Brandi is pretty upset but I told her Arianna was smart at alot of things and things will go fine.
My Mom is doing ok just totally exhausted as well. My older brother and his spouse will be here for Thanksgiving. They fly in this Saturday and leave the next Saturday.
I guess that about does it for now. I know I will be and am still to busy to read everyone. Again I apologize but things are way to hectic and I can’t see any end in sight. I post to keep those who want to know updated as well as my daughter when I can’t get ahold of her by phone. Also to keep track of where I have been and where I am going….lol and to not get deleted for lack of use. Take care all and know I think about you all often and miss you hugssssssss and love sent your way. Have a Happy Holiday Season

Poor Arianna. I didn’t think any doctor would let a mother go for ten and a half months without being induced.

It is so sad when doctors think that are so right. Women usually know when something is wrong.
