Well today we are at days 4 post-surgery. And Breann is finally doing a whole lot better. We got to take the wrap and guaze off this morning. Then we got out the saran wrap and wrapped her leg up and we had a bath. (this is the first time I helped her take a bath in like 12 years.) 
This grey thing is the ice pack. It is the most amazing machine ever. It has a cooler that you pack with ice and it filters cold ice water through continuously.
This is what her leg looks like, but it is minus the ace wrap around her foot. We were able to take it off this morning, and we can keep it off unless her leg begins to swell.
catching some zzzzzzz...................Michael and I have been married almost 19 years, and this is the first time I have been give the job of "surrogate Mom" Lucky as I named him is now my bottle calf. This poor little guy had quite a terrible start. His little tongue froze, and his Momma stepped on his front leg. So of course my husband has to get out the roll of duck tape and we proceeded to make a home cast for Lucky.
So far so good.
I get "slimmed" almost 3 times a day, because he has a tendency to slobber. Wow I feel like someone off of Green acres. LOL
Hello there, it seems like it has been forever since I have posted anything, so I am going to try to change that. I have gotten into "trouble" from a few people about not updating. There are so many things to post, that I do not know where to begin.
Breann tore her ACL on the skiing trip, so we have been working on that. We finally had the surgery April 2nd. She is doing about as well as can be expected. Sore, but she is quite a trooper. We begin a 3 a week physical therapy regimen. She is sort of nervous about that. We are praising the Lord that he healed parts of her knee that we thought was going to have to be surgically repaired. God is great!!
March 19th we found out that my Dad has melanoma bone cancer. So Michael and the girls and I went to Illinois to see them. We left on good Friday and Michael and the girls came back on Monday. I stayed for another week and came back on the Amtrack train Monday morning. My Daddy started the chemo pills on Sunday. He is feeling about as well as we can expect. I will be truthful it is very hard to be here when part of my heart wants to be with my family in Illinois. Sort of like I want to be in two places at once.
Our biggest prayer request is that the chemo will begin to work and that we see a shrinkage in the tumors.
So that has been my life in a nutshell. I will post some pictures of Breann's 15th birthday, and of our visit to Illinois.
Thursday Brittnae was involved in Honor Band. They went to Culbertson and had practice all day. Then they had a wonderful performance at 7:00. I was so proud of her. She did such a wonderful job. It kind of gives her a definate idea that there is a chance her music will take her places.
The conductor came from Hastings, he was wonderful, and Brittnae really liked him.This weekend I got the pleasure of playing with Olivia and Sonya. And of course when we went to Imperial on Friday we had to go to Alco and get a new toy. So both of the girls a polly pocket. I love to play polly's with them. They have such a wonderful imagination.
A typical lunch of mac and cheese, hot dogs, and cheese balls. I try to offer them something else, but we always have to have mac and cheese. lol
I loved this Sonya decided that her baby needed a candy:) notice the green sixlet .
While Sonya was taking a nap Olivia took all of her polly pocket stuff and climbed on my bed and played for an hour or more.
Sonya helping with the laundry!!
Where is Sonya--notice the hands peaking out.
Olivia decided to get in on the action.
