Long over due post.

Wow I cant believe it has been so long since I made a post on how things have been going!

So alot has happened the last few months. Some sad and some good. Where to start off?? well lets do the bad first.

Alyea and her Grandpa

On March 3rd Alyzea lost her grandfather after a month long battle in the hospital. He went in to have a cath put in and two days after that he had a heart attack. When he was in the hospital they also found out that he had phonmuna(sp) in one of his lungs. Two weeks later after they had done a heart cath to see the damage the heart attack had done he suffered from a stroke. It was then we also found out that he had Cdiff and they had to put a feeding tube in his stomach. After about a week in the hospital they moved him to carelink. For a bit there he was able to do the therapy they wanted him to do, but then his body stopped doing anything. The Cdiff wasn't clearing up, dialysis was making him weaker  and his food wasn't digesting like it should have been. When his family made the decision to stop dialysis and make him a DNR it didn't take him long at  all to pass. From what we have been told he didn't suffer and that make us feel just bit better. Both Rob and his family are taking it one day at a time. His mom is so use to taking care of his father that she hasn't known what to do. 

Bella not long after we got her

So a week later we got the family a puppy. They say they got it for Alyzea and that it was her puppy but I believe its for all of them. Her name is Bella and she is a 15 week old beagle/black lab mix. I couldnt have asked for a better puppy for the family. She does so good with Alyzea and she just loves Bella.

Because of what had happened to his dad Rob never went back to work. He has been taking care of his mom and at the time his dad also. So now he is a Stay at home dad. Around the time his dad had is stroke I started working at Allegiance Health Hospital as a Diet Aide. I really love this job, I help paitents order food and bring it to them when it comes up from the kitchen. It is actually a job I like going to everyday, and working here I found out that the hospital has taking to doing a pulse ox test on the all the newborns 24 hours after they are born to screen for heart defects. I was SOOO happy to hear this.... 

How big Alyzea has gotten
