I'm proud to show off the wonderful new design of Optimistic Mommy! It's from the wonderful, sweet Christina of Spilled Milkshake Designs! Christina was absolutely fantastic to work with. She took what I wanted to include in my new design and just ran with it and did such a great job! The header fits me perfectly, I believe. From the book since I read every day, to the crochet hook and yarn because I'm a obsessed with crocheting now (I'll be sharing some of my creations with you … [Read more...]
Wisdom Teeth Removal
Hello, my lovely readers. I just got home about an hour or so ago from getting my wisdom teeth out. I just wanted to let you all know that it went well, my mouth is just really swollen right now and I'm waiting for my pain medicine to kick in because it's starting to hurt pretty badly. I probably won't post anything for a couple of days while I recuperate. I thank God that Miles is on vacation this week and he'll be taking care of me. I'm so blessed. <3 Have a great rest of the … [Read more...]
Ever Heard of Freedom Of Speech?
Apparently there has been a big stink about my post about Forgiveness with Church/God and With Yourself. The way I feel about the people who take offense to this is apparently if it hurts so badly, maybe it applies to you? Also, if you don't agree with what I write, then maybe you don't have to read it? I don't force anyone to read my blog. That's up to you, the reader. There's freedom of speech in this country - that's one of the great things about it. And calling people names because … [Read more...]
Really?
So my mom's doctor/surgeon sent my mom's file and information to a doctor at Cleveland Clinic. That doctor looked over it, and guess what he said? "Let the poor girl heal." Apparently they've been doing unnecessary procedures and just not letting my mom's body health itself. How ridiculous? I am not happy with that hospital/doctor at all! It's ridiculous! My parents should definitely look into possibly seeing what a lawyer has to say about all this. This is just outrageous. All the … [Read more...]
Tuesday Afternoon Update
They figured out why my mom is losing blood - apparently when they went to put the stent in to stop the bleeding where the surgery was done, they put the stent in the wrong place. Like, really? Needless to say, we're not very happy. We haven't heard anything about what they're going to do because they didn't put a stent where it was supposed to go while they had her under last night. They just took the stent out. I'm going up to see my mom and dad after I drop Miles off at work, so … [Read more...]
Update
My dad just called me. He should be getting released tomorrow, as long as nothing happens. My mom, on the other hand... they did an exploratory procedure today at 5pm to try and figure out where she's losing blood. She's had about 8 transfusions in the past 4 days because they have no idea where she's losing it from. My dad called down to her nurse, and the nurse hadn't heard anything from the 4 doctors that are trying to figure out mom's case. So we don't know if they figured anything out. … [Read more...]
Update On My Mom and Now My Dad
Well... you know how my mom is in the hospital? Well, she's still there. This Tuesday it will be a month since she's been in. :( The past 3 days she's had to have 5 blood transfusions because she's losing blood and they don't even know where from. They're going to do some procedure tomorrow to hopefully figure out what's going on. So please keep her in your prayers. And if that isn't all enough, my dad is now in the hospital as well. Today I got him out of the hospital and we went to … [Read more...]
Mom is Now in ICU
Hello, everybody. Well, to update you on my mom, she is now in Intensive Care Unit. My dad gave me a call yesterday afternoon saying that she is having trouble breathing and her pneumonia is back so they put her in ICU. We weren't planning on going up to visit because we figured she wanted to rest, but she had been asking about us, so we went up to visit yesterday. She looked so bad when we got there. But once we left she looked a little bit better - her breathing wasn't as labored and she … [Read more...]
