Sunday, November 1st

Matthew and Steph had fun on Halloween.
Glad her mother is here to help out.
Steph was at the hospital bright and early as usual.
Such a trooper. Much stronger than me right now.
She's watching me type so I had to say something nice - just kidding.
OK, so today.
They did a scan of the neck.
Can't find any blockage.
Did I mention about his neck??
Can't remember...
It's closing shut around the breathing tube.
That's why they are doing the trach.
The are afraid if they take out breathing tube - it will close shut.
About the water on the brain.
Have to wait until he's better to do an MRI.
Not too worried about it right now.
They are doing a cat of the stomach to see if there is a blockage.
But not today, not strong enough.
He really hasn't woken up.
Honestly, I like when he is sedated.
It scares me when he starts to wake up - he gets "nuts" - restless, moving, unfocused, scares me and of course this blog is all about me right...
That brings up another thing.
Many of you think I am doing this blog to keep everyone posted..
That's what I should say.
But you know I made a deal with God that if Gary got better I would be a better person..
So i have to tell the truth.
It's to keep me sane.
Are you listening God??
Oh, one other thing...
Brought mom's rosary to the hospital.
Then, I brought out the big guns today.
Brought holy water that Kate and I bought while we are in Italy.
I know, I know.
Your thinking, what?? You bought holy water in Italy.
Yes, I did.
And, when the nurse left - I took it out of my purse and splashed it on his forehead.
I haven't lost it, honest.
If you see me with snakes and start chanting, feel free to call the police.
He just moved his legs.
Flashing us.
No modesty at all.
Bouvier all the way.
Thanks for your prayers.
Need ideas for fundraising - Stef can't go back to to work yet and that's there main source of income. Steph needs to meet with hospital about trying to get him on medicare. Seems they have two vehicles and they can't get on it...
I am so tired of the "system"
We can sell his jeep.
Need cash flow.
Going to bank Monday to set up account.
More to come....
