Baby Brice

I just wanted to let everyone know that my sweet baby Brice is home from the hospital. He is 2 weeks old today and finally they are home and he is healthy. PRAISE THE LORD!!! Our wonderful God is GOOD!! Thank you for all the prayers on his behalf. I am a HAPPY Nanny tonight!!!!!!!!

God Bless~

Friday

Wow, what a slacker I am lately! I have had so much on my mind, that to write on my blog seems to be a chore...LOL.. I have kept up on all of y'all.

Baby Brice is still in the hospital. He is finishing up his round of antibiotics via IV. I think he will go home Tuesday. It's been a long 2 weeks for the parents. They have been staying in a courtesy room at the hospital. I know home sounds good to them, and to baby Brice, to be free of needles and sticks. Please keep them in your prayers.

I saw my endo Wednesday and my A1C came down to 8.4. Of course that no where near normal yet, but it's moving in the right direction. He wants to see me again in 4 weeks. I certainly would not wish diabetes on anyone. It's a dangerous disease that you have to fight everyday. It has taken away my ability to walk easily, some of my sight, etc, but I am not ready to go to the other side yet. I take 8 shots a day and I feel like a pin cushion, but shots are what keeps me alive. I have living to do and grand babies to meet and watch grow. With God's blessings, I will.

I hope everyone has a great weekend. It is supposed to be cool here and rainy. Possible snow flurries. Spring, where are you???

God Bless~

Monday evening..

Today my 2 yr old grandson Cooper had his surgery. He is home and doing well. He had his adenoids removed and tubes put in his ears. The surgeon told Carrie that he had some of the biggest adenoids he had seen. Glad that they are gone and will cause sweet Cooper no more problems.

Baby Brice remains in the hospital. They think he may have picked up a staph infection. The 1st blood culture they ran came back, growing something. The 2nd one came back OK, but he had been on antibiotics, so that may have caused a false negative, so this morning, they did a spinal tap on the little fella. My heart just bleeds thinking of my 6 day old grandson going thru this. The white blood counts are good, now they are waiting to see if the spinal fluid grows anything. He will be there until at least next Tuesday, to finish out the 1st round of antibiotics. If the spinal fluids is positive it will be 21 more days. Please keep them in your prayers. It's hard being 1st time parents, bring a healthy baby into the world and then this happen. My son and daughter in-law are exhausted of course. I will update if there are any changes. It's been a tough last week. To much happening to the ones I love.

I have a Dr. appointment with the endo tomorrow. I will find out my lab results then. I hope they are better than last time.

I hope everyone had a good weekend and Monday. Have a good week!!

God Bless~

Good News!!

Yesterday the urologist came in to see Baby Brice and did a ultrasound and some lab work. They think he has gotten a blockage and infection from being circumcised. They started a IV with antibiotics and at 3AM this morning he finally peed on his own. Praise God! He will remain in the hospital for now, not sure how long, but he is finally peeing on his own. I am wore out from worry. Not only that, but my grand daughter Sydney broke her ankle yesterday, she's 6, and her baby brother Cooper, who just turned 2 has surgery Monday morning, for tubes in his ears and adenoids out. Please keep them in your prayers as well as baby Brice and his Mommy & Daddy. I know they are ready to take their new bundle of joy home and be a family.

Thank you for your kind remarks. It helps so much! More than you will ever know!!

God Bless~

No News :o(

There is still no news as to why Brice is not peeing on his own. They have run a ultrasound of his kidney's today and are running some labs. Please continue to pray for my Grandson, and for his parents. They are 1st time parents and this is confusing and hard on them.

God Bless~

Prayers please.

Baby Brice is not being discharged, as he is not peeing on his own and they are calling in a specialist to see why. He is making urine as they cathed him, but seems to be a blockage or something. Jeremy is supposed to call me as soon as he knows. Please let the docs figure this out and Baby Brice will be OK.

God Bless~

Wednesday

Today was a quiet day. We didn't do a whole lot. David cooked us some delicious ribs for dinner, I made the side dishes and we ate a early dinner. The oxygen company came to refill David's tanks, and we ran to the grocery store for a few things and that's it. So not much to report, but I do have several new pics of Brice. They didn't get to go home today as Amanda's BP is doing some funny stuff but should tomorrow. Brice was circumcised today also. He's going well.

Love, Peace and Chicken (Bacon) Grease!!

God Bless~

Happy St. Patrick's Day and Brice born.

I would like to wish everyone a happy St. Patrick's Day!! Here is David at work yesterday sporting his hat...LOL



Now to the important news!! My beautiful grandson is here!! Born on St. Patrick's day March 17th at 9:17am. He weighs in a healthy 7 lb 8 ozs. I so want to be there and hold him, and kiss him. I am hoping to see him in a few weeks. I am such a proud Nanny!!!

I have lab work that has to be done today. This is when they draw like 10 vials. I am so tired as I didn't sleep last night, waiting on Brice's arrival.

Until later... Love, Peace and Chicken Grease!! Oh yeah, Bacon for Jojo.

God Bless~

Sunday's Thoughts.

I have slacked again this week on my blog. Seems I am having a writers block. Do I ramble or come here when I have something to say? Decisions, decisions...LOL.

This past Wednesday the people from Affordable Mobility came and put in a lift for David's power chair in the van. The VA provided this for him. It's awesome. now I need a ramp for mine. His goes in the back door of the van and I need a ramp for the side door, that's not to heavy that David can lift or I can lift if need be. Here are some pics of his lift. Please don't look at the garage. It hasn't been cleaned yet for summer. Once we get my ramp, which takes money, we don't have, we will be rolling and finally getting out of the house some. I look forward to that so much. I do not wish being disabled on one one. It's hard, very lonely and hard.







My daughter in law is due today with Brice. If she hasn't delivered by Thursday, they will put her in Thursday night and begin induction. So I should have a new grandson by Friday. I am beyond excited as this is my babies baby!! My son's son. Neat. I will have pics on here as soon as I get some. Please pray for a healthy delivery for Amanda and Brice and that my son will make it. He's a nervous wreck..LOL. The doc that delivers the Duggar babies, "18 kids and counting", on TLC is their doc also. They live in Arkansas, as my son works for Walmart home office.

Please say some prayers for Ness's husband Roger, as I understand he is in the hospital with cardiac issues. They are such a sweet family, with way to much on their plate right now. Please pray their issues will be fixed and that Roger will be good as new and Katie watching again soon.

I hope everyone had a great weekend. Leave me a note and let me know you were here.

Love, Peace and Chicken (Bacon for Jojo) Grease!!

Tuesday's treasures.

I went out to take the trash out to the road this evening early and guess what I saw peeking at me? Now mind you it's warm today but highs in the 30's the rest of the week. I hope they will be OK. Here are my tulips!!!!! Spring is coming!!!!





Also my oldest daughter, Aubrey's daughter, Briannah, my grand daughter lost her 1st tooth today. Here is the pic I got on my cell phone. So funny, her face all up in the camera..LOL. She is 5 yrs old. They live in Mississippi.



We have a busy day tomorrow. The oxygen company comes to fill up David's tanks, a company is coming out that the VA provided to put in a lift in the van for his power chair, and he has a pulmonologist appointment in the afternoon.

Love, Peace and Chicken (Bacon for Jojo) Grease!!

Daniel's sisters.

I told y'all a while back that I would scan the pic of Daniel's sisters but when I went to, my scanner, printer needed ink, and if it needs ink, it will not scan. Isn't that weird? I think so, and do not like that about this one. So, I had to ebay some cheap ink and we now can scan, print again...LOL..

So here's the girl's. Kirra is on the left, Miranda in the middle and Arryssa on the right.



Here is a pic of the family before Daniel was born. He was born Dec 31 and this is a Christams pic so he's in the pic, just not visable...LOL. This is David's oldest, his son Craig, and his wife Chandra and the girl's. A shadow makes it look like Craig has a long beard but he doesn't. Click the pics and make them larger and you can see better.



My son and his wife's baby, Brice Randall is due Sunday. I am getting excited!! Keep them in your prayers for a safe and healthy delivery.

Have a wonderful night and day tomorrow. David is off the next 2 days.. YAY!!!
Love, Peace and Chicken Grease and for Jojo, Bacon Grease!!!! LOL.

God Bless~

No title Friday

Well I really can't think of a title for this blog...LOL..

We went to the VA hospital on Wednesday for David's GI visit. His labs showed he is anemic so they ran a CBC again and the doc called on Thusday and said they wanted to do a endoscopy along with the colonscopy because he is still slightly anemic. He has that fun on May 5th. Keep him in your prayers that they can figure out the reason for the anemia and it not be serious.

It's been a sad week. My neighbor across the street passed away from lung cancer. He was in his 70's I think. I found out yesterday that the lady that lives to my left, Diane, has a brain tumor. I didn't get the full details from her hubby. The dogs were barking and it was terribly windy so we couldn't talk much, he said she was sick and had a brain tumor. She is 50 yrs old and a very nice lady. Please keep these families in your thoughts and prayers.

It was in the 60's here today!! So nice. Of course next week we are due highs in the 30's-40's again but I will take this 60's and maybe 70 tomorrow and enjoy it!! I even opened my window some today to air out our bedroom. Felt so good!! I can't wait till spring. To plant tomatoes, flowers and my confederate roses that Laura~Peach sent me. I so hope they thrive so I can share pics with y'all. A confederate rose from Ga, shipped to Ohio!! How cool is that?

I want to thank everyone for the comments on my blog. They help me so much!! What would I do without y'all? I love ya!!

I hope everyone has a great weekend!! Love, Peace and Chicken Grease!!!

God Bless~

Monday night 11:30PM

Well, I haven't blogged since last Wednesday, when it was 55 degress and now it's 14 degrees, going down to 7 or below tonight. It's supposed to get warmer as the week gors. I can handle that!! Warmer is always better.

Not to much has been going on in my world this week. My chest X-Ray was normal, which I was glad to hear. I will be having blood work done on the 17th of March. It's for both Dr. Randall, my PCP, and Dr. Kim, my endo. They are all part of the same company, called Prime Care. It makes it better so I don't have to give to each doctor. They take like 10 vials as it is, when they take..LOL.

David has 2 doc appts this week out at the VA. Tomorrow he has a eye appt, for a eye check up and Wednesday he has a GI consult for that dreaded colonscopy. He is 55 and hasn't had one yet. But then I am 53 and haven't either. I have had a endoscopy, but not the colonscopy. Ewwwwwwww. So we get to make 2 trips to the VA hospital, 2 days in a row. Yeah!! We tried to set them up for both the same day but it didn't work out.

Yeaterday was my oldest grand child's birthday. I can not believe Taylor is 14. She had my heart the day she was born. She made me a grandma (Nanny). I was present in the room when she was born, and I touched her 1st. What a beauty she is both inside and out. She is the oldest of 4. She belongs to my daughter Carrie. Where does time go?


Also our son out in California, sent another pic of Daniel. He's growing like a weed!!


I hope everyone had a fun and happy and healthy weekend and will have a great week!! Thanks for all the comments. It makes my day more than you will ever know. Also sign up to follow me!! PLEASE???

As we used to say down south. Love, peace and chicken grease!!!

God Bless~
