Dad Update and etc.

Dad continues to be in the hospital today, but he will be coming home soon.  He has been working with both a Physical and Occupational Therapist.  Nope, we don't know what the difference is either.  His spirits have been up, but he knows that he has work to do to in order to be able to go home. 

On another front, Jake and Matt are off to their Dad's for 2 weeks.  They are heading to Kansas City for a week.  Matt was a little bummed that he was missing out on his World Series in Twin Town Baseball, but he is going to be able to attend 10 yr old State Baseball in Grand Forks.  It sure does get quiet when they go...........don't like it at all.

The Fourth was happy and safe, something I didn't realize I would be so thankful for, but 3 boys and fireworks scares me.

Dad's in the Hospital....

On Sunday Mom and Dad were able to go to church and out to lunch.  By Tuesday he was having difficulty getting out of bed and getting around.  His spirits were fine, he was just having a lot of swelling in his feet.  He even told us how the 1950 Ford pickup that has become a bit of a money pit to repair only cost him $125 to buy.  Crazy.

But, by Thursday we were at the hospital where Dad was admitted.  He has had many tests run and is resting comfortably and seems to be enjoying the nurses.  Lord knows he devoured his lunch in no time, so his appetite seems good.  As of Friday morning they haven't found much, just lots of little things.  They are continuing to test today.

Addison spent some of her time there looking for the doctor that tells the monkeys "No more monkeys jumping on the bed!"

Summer So Far...

 We started out again going to to the lake. It's been mostly cold and rainy but we manage to have fun anyway. We have been working on landscaping projects around the house (YUCK) and are getting ready to put in a fence. Nick is busy with a football work-out schedule and is playing in the Fargo North passing league one night a week (the knee is doing great). This week he is staying at NDSCS the site of Boys State here in North Dakota. He checked in yesterday and will be home Friday just in time to leave Saturday for football camp at NDSU. He will be well versed in dorm etiquette by the time he's home. Jake had a week of wrestling camp and is now free to hang with friends and help me with my daycare business and all the house projects. He and Matt are gone until the 21st at their dad's house. That really makes our house quiet. I hate it! Matt is playing baseball 3 nights a week and also did a short wrestling camp. We had Randy's mom's 70th birthday here the beginning of June. The whole family came and a good time was had by all. It was nice to see everyone. We spend nearly every weekend at the lake so if your in the area please stop by, we always have a cold beer for a friend.
