I haven't blogged in about 2 weeks. There's been a lot going on and I just didn't have the time.
On Tuesday the 13th my grandfather fell at the dentist. He went to the hospital in Indy. My mom, sister and cousin all came to Indiana.
We all visited him in the hospital on Wednesday. He was conscious, but on sedatives and had a breathing tube in so he couldn't talk, he was trying so hard to say something to my aunt. On Thursday we visited him again, but this time he was not so good. We stayed for a while that day and the family decided to take his breathing tube out on Friday so he could try and talk. As my mom and I were close to home we got a call to turn around and go back to the hospital. His heart, kidneys, and liver were failing. His blood pressure was getting so low they had to pump him full of meds to keep it up. We got there in time for them to take out his breathing tube. He passed away quietly.
My only regrets are that he didn't get to see Vallerie again, and that we will never know what he was trying to say to my aunt on Wednesday. I also wish I would have listened to Eddie more. He was always suggesting that we go over to my gpa's house, but I never wanted to. I always had some stupid excuse.
Today is the first day I have been back to work in about 2 weeks. We had a "normal" Thanksgiving. Eddie made his first turkey and we had his sister, her husband, and their baby over for lunch. Everything was delicious. We got our dining room table the day before, but when Eddie was assembling it we saw that there was a huge ding on the side. The furniture place is supposed to call us to schedule getting a replacement. Thanksgiving night Vallerie and I went to my uncle's house and had dinner with the rest of the family.
Yesterday Eddie and Vallerie put up the Christmas tree, and I decorated it. I think it looks pretty good. Eddie said that this morning when Vallerie got up and walked in the room, her eyes got really big and she said "WOW"... or something to that effect. I wish I could have been there to see it.
We also took Vallerie's crib apart and she is now in a big girl bed. She has been doing good so far. We haven't noticed her getting up in the middle of the night. There is a baby gate in front of her door, so if she does get up, she won't get out. Normally she will open her door in the morning, and yell "Good Morning" or yell for her daddy. (It's pretty cute) My mom bought her a super cute bed set. It's got candy on it, and it matches her room really well.
That's all I can remember. I know a lot of other things went on, but really they don't seem too important at this point.
