Hello Everyone
Family
Well everyone in family is doing pretty good. Ralph is having good days and bad days. We spend time together. Nikki is feeling so so days. We got a 3d ultra sound of the baby and pictures are on my profile. We also got a video and its cute. Joey been sick with migraines and out of school and the doctor gave him sample of meds so he got another appt in a month to see her. I'm doing ok and trying to spend time with the family. Rhonda and Alex is doin good and we stick together as a family.My son working at Wal-Mart got a promotion and now going to work at the service desk with 20 cents more a hour pay.
Health
I was having knee pain and went to the doctor and she sent me to a ortho doc and he did a mri on my knee I have arthritis in my knee and will need a replacement in the future. So I get a shot of cotozone and go back in November. I got abnormal blood results and my doc sends me for a ultrasound and then a ct scan and then I go to my doc that handles the tumor on my pancreas and its not growing. For all that dont know I got sick in 2002 with a tumor blocking my intestines they couldn't remove the tumor so they move my intestines. I have a ct scan of my pancreas every year and it got up to 2 years but when they did the ultra sound they freak even though they knew I had it. So now they have to figure out my blood work and why i'm losing weight so fast. I like to lose weight but I haven't really try to lose because I haven't change my eating habits.Because of all my depression I've not taken care of my teeth so now i have to have dentures on top and partials on bottom. I have to go to the VA hospital in Johnson City 3 hours away to get them pulled and go some where close to get the dentures and partials.So that about it on my health.
School
Well I withdraw from school because of all my medical problems and I'm not sure when I will go back.
Finances
Finances are still tight but on the 30th it will be three months without a overdraft.The two months without having to pay a house payment help get us out of the hole. I'm so happy.
Baby
I can't wait to be a grandma.We gave two baby showers and we got one more to go on the 14th. They clean out a corner of the apartment for the baby the pastor is giving them a stroller and crib for the baby they have 4 children. She has a lot of stuff and the only thing she really needs is a dresser with a changing table.If they dont get one then I been saving 25.oo dollars a week for the baby i guess we will use it to buy one for them. I will ask Joey if he wants to help with buying it because he gets a check a month for school and he's been saving his money. So maybe stingy uncle joey will buy his nephew a dresser. LoL
A lot has happen hopefully you can read this better. I thank God for all this especially my ct scan showing no problems and the baby being healthy and finances being good and anthony's promotion and joey being ok. Thank You Lord for all this.Love you all.

thanks for the update! i have an idea for the changing table and dresser situation. when i was caring for the motherless little boy i had a long dresser that came to just about my waist high. there is a curved pad you can buy to put on top of on of these types of dressers and you don't need a changing table. there is enough room on the top at the foot of this pad to put your wipes and stuff and you can put the diapers in the top drawer just under the pad. it was actually better than having two separate things because there were times he messed up his clothes and i could open the drawer and still have a hand on him to keep him in place. (just a thought)

Wow! Impressive - glad to hear someone's doing so well. that Pancreas tumor sounds very unpleasant though. Do keep an eye on it. I was going to ask you how you could afford all the medical expenses, but see you are covered by Vets. Lucky for you. I had to have upper teeth out (caused by Dilantin, a gum wrecker drug - very effective for epilspsy, but woeful for teeth. Had partial plate for lower like yourself, but it was made of metal - & I could never use it (I mean the clips that held the plate onto my own front teeth) - so my advice is - if you have to have clips, make sure they are not exposed metal !- I think it was titanium! Waste of money. I've had impression done for new lower, but awaiting Tax Rebate to pay for it. Eating is not much fun with uppers only. Cost will be 900 - Health fund rebate is mean - only about 200. Dentistry is not covered by the Medicare System here. Sorry you could not keep up with school, but health comes first. Fond regards, JaneD.

Wow, you have gone through a lot. I'll keep praying for you. Thank you for the update.

Glad to hear that all is well with you and things are looking up. Was on vacation last week so I am just now catching up with everyone here on DS. It was a wonderful week off and one that I really needed but getting back into the swing of things has been hard.
Take care and it is always great to hear what you and your family have been up to.
Hugs to you my friend--Debbie
