Bloggy Absence

--
Sorry for the absence over the past week! We've been a bit busy it seems. The girls and I drove home to Anniston on Friday, October 17th to see my dad who was in the hospital. It was a nice trip but it is a lot of driving for one person - especially when that one person happens to be 8 months pregnant! We came back that Sunday and it was back to reality getting ready for the school/work week, etc. Luckily - the girls and I had cleaned the house the Thursday night before we left - so there wasn't much to do as far as cleaning goes!

When we were on our way to supper that Sunday evening (just after returning home from Anniston) - we got a call that they had decided to do a heart cathedar and a "start and stop" procedure on my dad on Monday morning. They did the heart cathedar and found that he had 4 blockages; therefore, he was scheduled for open heart/quadruple by-pass surgery for the following Monday, October 27th.

We all drove to Anniston again this past Sunday and came back on Tuesday. He is doing well and was moved out of ICU yesterday. He is having to undergo another procedure in the morning as his heart as gotten out of the regular rhythm it had gone into after the surgery (he had an irregular heartbeat prior to surgery) - so they will be doing the "start and stop" procedure to try and fix that. In addition, he is being treated with medication for congestive heart failure.

Between travelling the past two weekends, working full time, having 2 very active little girls and having another baby on the way - blogging had to take a back seat! I will try and get back on track with posting on a more regular basis! For now, I will leave you with some random pictures taken within the past couple of weeks!
