An update on Dad

This little man has kept us busy :) Dadda is doing well, and was discharged Saturday, January 31st. He did, however, have to be re-admitted due to A-fibrillation's (his heart rate kept racing up to 140 beats per minute. Just for comparisions, Becca & Miguel's in-utero heart rates were 154 & 157!). Dad is home again and is staying at Jo's house; CarCar is helping him with his IV medications (Dad has a P.I.C. line in his arm and will have IV meds for 6 weeks!) His Home Health nurse is "lacking," but she draws blood well...good thing our family is blessed with Registered Nurses and Nurse Practitioners!

Meanwhile, Becca & Miguel have been LOVING their Auntie CarCar! CarCar drove up the night before Dadda had his heart surgery, and having her here has been such a blessing to us all.

And we invited Mom over for supper Friday night. Can't remember what we had, but the girls wouldn't let Mom go potty without being right there with her. We love our Grandma!!
