Hey Stace - Have been really busy between work and all the work we've been trying to accomplish at the house. Plus Bob and I took a trip to Florida to check on both Dads. But, none is really a good excuse for not keeping in touch better.
I have appreciated you keeping me in the loop on your progress. Those are some really nice pictures of you and the family (even the doggy members!) Reminds me that while in Florida, Greg showed me that he had put all the old family movies on CDs, and we watched all the ones having to do with Christmas. There was one Christmas while we still lived in VA when all of Preston aunts, uncles and cousins came. You were just a toddler and Mark was pretty little. It was fun to remember just how we looked so many years ago!
My dad was not in good shape while we were there - but is just as stubborn (and sometimes just downright idiotic) as ever. He is still on dialysis, and probably will be for the rest of his life, 3 times a week. He looks very old for his almost 76 years (which isn't so old by today's standards). He fell over the curb the day we got there and it took Bob and I both to get him up off the sidewalk. He then proceded to get 3 skin tears the next day - who knows how, but I ended up washing clothes, blankets, the kitchen counters, etc. He does not remember to take his medicines on times, can't do his blood sugars, or see to draw up his insulin. His diet is a nightmare - nothing like any diabetic diet I've seen, tho' I tried really hard to keep him on track while we were there. It wasn't unusual for him to sneak into the kitchen and fill his robe pocket with donut holes when he thought I wasn't looking. The rest of the time he expected me to fix his meals, and generally wait on him hand and foot. I feel sorry for Greg having to deal with him now that I am back home!
Anyway, the rest of us are fine. The Bryan and Christian are working hard and trying to squeeze in a bit of fun now and then. I manage to see them about once a week. My grandaughter is a beautiful 1 1/2 yrs. now, and I just can't seem to keep from spoiling her rotten (oh, how my mom would tease me about that!)
Hope all goes well with this next CT scan, and while I know you like your long hair, your short "do" is cute!
Hang in there,
Terri
