A stroke of bad luck

Last Monday my dad had a stroke. He was taken to the ER on Monday (where he remained in the ER for 15 hours!!!!!!! Because, they didn't have a room!!!! WTH?!). He was released on Friday.

He is doing pretty good, but he has some communication problems. He struggles with direct questions, names, and just finding the right word sometimes.

Overall, he is doing GREAT! Especially, since it has only been a week! However, we still have a road ahead of us. I have been doing everything I can... I even spent about 4 hours on the phone trying to get a CT scheduled today! Still, it is hard seeing him struggle through this. :(

Please, keep him in your thoughts.

Ugh

Wondertwins and hubby caught something. Some kind of thing that gives you the runs. I have changed so many diapers the last couple of days! Ugh

Then, last night frog woke EVERY HOUR! I gave her gas drops, changed her diaper (just wet), gave her tylenol, gave her a bottle, a new pacifier, everything! She didn't want to sleep. She just wanted me to sit up so she could talk to me.

I'm so tired. I need a vacation.

Yuck!

The Wondertwins have their 2nd cold of the season. I think that is pretty good, considering the average is 6 for the first year.

It has moved into the runny nose stage. The period when they go down to nap with clean faces and wake up with green coating under their noses (and sometimes dried all over their faces from moving around).

Whoever invented the aspirator should have invented some kind of holding device with it. You would think I was trying to suck out their brains! They fight and scream like crazy! Then, when I am done they breathe better, smile because they feel better, and go on their way. However, when they see that thing come out it is utter mayhem!

I'll be glad when they are well again. Where is Spring?
