UPDATE: heart surgery

TJ had surgery last week. The hole was smaller than expected but the amount of blood that was NOT circulating to the rest of his body was more than expected. The hole was coiled (plugged) and he was released from the hospital the next morning.

He has had a few problems and visited the emergency room a couple of nights ago. He has a large hematoma in his abdomen that is pressing on his internal organs, causing pain and nausea. This should resolve on it's own but has slowed his recovery time.

I am a mother to three grown daughters who all graduated from homeschool. I baby-sit my two granddaughters and use "Before Five in a Row" with them. My grandsons are also staying here while their dad is deployed. My mother thinks I should get a "job" but watching the grandchildren grow is the most rewarding job in the world. Come along as we explore God's world together.

Grand-Kids

Ryan is the oldest of my grandchildren. He is 4 years old and is my Tom Sawyer. He's the quietest one of the bunch but if he's not careful, he can be swayed by Huckelberry Finn. He enjoys being outside and getting dirty.

Kaylee is 4 years old. She is a cross between Ellie Mae Clampett and a Disney Princess. She loves animals and all that is involved with their care but she also likes girly activities. She enjoys learning new things and is always eager for "school".

Rowley is a typical little boy. He is 3 years old and is my little Huckleberry Finn. He's the adventurous one and has to be watched every minute of the day because you never know what he might be up to.

Karsyn turned 2 year old on September 16. She is also an adventurous child. She enjoys cuddling as long as it doesnt take up too much time because she has a want/need to be on the move.
