Taking it Easy !!!!
Hi Everyone,
Just wanted to write a few words to let you all know that I am fine and to thank you all for the blogs and many Thanksgiving Day cards i received. You are the best !!!When we said grace on Thanksgiving Day i was most thankful for my family and all of you wonderful friends that cheer me on and check in on me. It is wonderful to hear from you and picture you in your homes on the holiday with oyur families. Donna C. a 31lb. turkey!!WOW! That has to be a record. Betty a healthy new grandchild to be thankful for. MaryDay a fullrecovery from your injuries and you still cooked dinner. Marianne, your trip to Breckenridge sounded like fun. I love snow and can't wait to see just a little. Cousin Mike, sory that Matthew was not home but your Christmas plans sound cozy. Bev sorry about the cold, what a differance from Louisiana... Cousin Eileen, do you eat the meat from the Doe ? We have many deer in our backyard. In fact, today Michael and i spent a half hor watching a big buck (we think 8 point) feasting on leaves.
We had a wonderful Thanksgiving! Mom and Dad stopped up before dinner for a visit and brought Joe some really good wine. Jess and Walid arrived around noon with the kids so they got to see them. The babies are ssssooooo cute!Christian is talking in sentences (he is 2 1/2) with the most adorable voice. Emma is a differant baby since i last saw her in July before the transplant. She smiles all the time (as long as mom or dad are in the room). She was sick with a cold and a very wheezy cough. Jessie had her to the doctors on weds night, and the doctor said she should stay home because she shouldn't be around me with my weakened immune system. I hadn't seen the kids in quite some time (4 months) and I thought it would help give me a boost in to see them. And it sure did. I tried to limit my kisses and really the kids did most of the work. There is nothing like babies giggles to make a person under the weather cheer up. So I had much to be thankful for to have all of my kids and grandchildren together. We mostly just hung around here with a few trips to the park because I wasn't feeling perky enough to go shopping. I am still nauseated and having some problems eating. I wish that would pass but we know that it just takes time. Back pain is still there keeping me up all night, but I am limiting sitting and anything that will iritate it. I will see an ortho on friday although I think i need a neurologist. I'm home with my family so I should not complain. I do not see Dr. Porter again until dec 13th and have bloodwork tomorrow. Hopefully, all will be well. So many many thanks again for all of your love and support. I don't think you can imagine how much it means to me. Love to you all,
Debbie
