The Worst Spring Break EVER

OK so let me try to explain my last week to you. Joe and I left Friday, March 16th for Wisconsin. That's right Wisconsin. There were 7 of us in an 8 passenger SUV for 18 hours. I was in the very back with no room AT ALL and all the luggage around me. I have taken MANY road trips...that was the worst! So we get there Saturday afternoon. I meet Joe's 94 yr old grandma and other relatives. Sunday was ok...a little cold. I got to see Green Bay and see where my mother-in-law grew up.
Monday morning at 7am I got a call from my mom. My grandma had a heart attack and is unconscious and in ICU. She is in ICU because she went without oxygen to the brain for 20 minutes. I try to go on with my day without crying. Try to do a little shopping. I get a phone call Monday afternoon that Joe and I need to fly home things are not good. So I call the airlines and get a red eye out. Joe did not come(LONG story that I'll explain later). So I get on a plane Monday evening, trying to hold myself together. I arrived at midnight and went up to the ICU. Things were looking bad.
Tuesday same as before, not good. The doctors were asking my mom/aunt about a living will. Tuesday night my cousin, aunt, friend and I were in her room. We all got together and prayed over her and sang hymns to her.
Wednesday morning we were still at my aunts when the phone rang. The neurologist called. They are getting a few reflexes out of her. We get up there and she opens her eyes. We are all starting to feel a little hope.
Thursday she is moving her right and left arms and wiggling her toes. She even smiles at you.
Friday Joe arrives in from Wisconcin. She slept all day long b/c they say she's worn out and breathed all day on her own.
Yesterday(Saturday) She is smiling, moving a lot, even trying to take out her breathing tubes. Doing very well.
Today they said she's breathing 70% on her won. If she can maintain it for a few more days they will take her breathing tube out.
I am SO EXCITED!!!! This has definitely renewed my faith and thought on prayer. The doctors say that they have never seen a patient go with out oxygen for 20 minutes and do the things she is doing. I am feeling hopeful about her recovery and ask that you all continue to pray for my grandma.

A New Attitude

OK ,so I had 2 job interviews and I heard nothing back from either one. I decided that there was a reason that God has me at my current job and I should look for the best in it. So....I am now trying to find the good in things and actually doing some"sprucing up" of the center and my classroom.
ON a happier note. In the 6 weeks since I started back to the gym I have lost 13 inches total. When you start there they measure like 8 different points. (Upper chest, lower chest, waist, hips...........) I was SO SO SO excited when they told me! I knew I would have a few b/c things are fitting differently, but I never would have guessed 13. I actually have to go bra shopping next weekend b/c my"boys" are disappearing.:0(
Anyway, not much else going on around here. I am BUSY BUSY BUSY with school. I decided that since Joe will be gone for 7 weeks this summer(Drill Sgt school) I am going to do summer school. I know! Call me crazy!:0)
