My Dad Deserves More Than 1 Day!

Happy Fathers' Day to ALL the Fathers out there!

I wanted to post a list to why I'm sooo thankful for my dad (its faster, bit more fun, and I gotta get ready for my Dad's Cookout still)!!!

Top 15 (10 isn't enough..lol) reasons Dad should get more than a day of celebration:

15. He loves meeting people, making friends, and is quite social.
14. When something goes wrong, he is the person that can say the right thing to make me smile :-)
13. Is always honest.
12. Few yrs ago, he gave me HIS car, (so i could get back and forth to work/play practices) He rode his bike to work and back (he enjoys it too tho)
11. Best Sense of Humor!
10. He never complains, ever!
9. Growing up my Dad worked 6am-3pm at one job and 4:30-10pm at another.
8. Dad still managed to go to 99.9% of my performances
7. He is the least judgemental person ever, he talks to & helps everyone!
6. He is a pro at making doctors, insurance companies, & hospitals do what needs to be done!
5. When he has extra days left he can take off work, he uses them to work on the Farm (helping out Grandpa & my Uncle).
4. Even with all the stress from Medical bills, procedures,etc. People will still tell you he is the funniest and most sincere guy. (My friends call him "Da Man")
3. He helps neighbors with cutting trees, picking up after storms, taking out trash cans, etc.
2. When I was growing up, he'd save his Vacation days to spend them in hospital room, sleeping on a cot. :-(
1. I know I can always count on him, He'd do anything for my Mother, my Sister, and I.

Truely,  I am very thankful for my Dad, he is the most respectful, loyal, hard-working person I know!
Love you, Dad!

Today's BIG Appointment

 I discussed last week about my recent struggles & goals. I have been dealing with a lot all at once! Family planning (update on that in 2 weeks), my Grandma's funeral, lower lung function. Through it all I have remained very compliant with my meds! My health is VERY important to me. So this last weekend I took my vest machine, wabi sterilizer system , and packs of ensure to my parent's for the weekend. I wanted to make sure I did everything. While it was a sad occasion, it was still pleasant seeing almost all of the family together again. Actually 27 out of 29 of the cousins made it to the funeral. Grandpa is in the middle of the picture (can you find me?) LOL   On top of my medications I have been doing some dancing & walking, but no jogging or anything. I'm still counting calories on my fitbit (hitting over 3000) a day (& 40 grams of protein, 50 grams of fat at least). I knew I was feeling a bit better than before, but wasn't sure what to expec...

Post- Surgery Appointment

Post Surgery Appt: As you prolly know, I had Laparoscopic Triple Hernia Surgery last Tuesday. Here was a picture of me devouring a piece of bread so I could go home afterward the surgery (4 hours post surgery and 20 mins post waking up from recovery). I was ready to go home! Today I had my post surgery check up. He said everything in the surgery went well and besides the finding the 3rd hernia there were no surprises. He pointed out where the staples/stitches (they are holding the mesh in place) are in me. I have two on each side at the end of the mesh (so 4 on top) and two down farther in my groin. Apparently, I just have one huge piece of mesh that runs the width and length of my whole abdomen/groin area. Bahaha. I am Inspector Gadget after all. He said a few more weeks before I can lift stuff or exercise. Also, he said the area where the staples are will hurt when bending or twisting. However, I only notice really when I twist or turn too fast. Overall, it was a nice appoint...

The Stork Came!

It finally happened!!! The Stork came to our house!! We had 3 kids placed with us (on August 4th) Friday afternoon. Luckily, Andrew was able to take off Friday-Monday (Aug 4th-7th) to be home as we all adjust the first few days. He then worked 8th-12th, but we needed him back home more until the kiddos started school. So took a full second week off, because it was really rough ! Big thanks to Culvers & Phil for allowing us time we needed. I love having kids in the house, but it's a lot of appointments for these kiddos at first. . For privacy reasons, I will never use their names or post pictures of them.  I have made fake names for these posts. When they called I was a little nervous to take 3 kids at once, especially since I have Cystic Fibrosis. We had agreed on only 2 originally. But, the lady explained the 3 of them really needed somewhere. Most foster parent's don't take sibling groups and it is really rare to find one that will take three, so our hearts wanted to ...
