Sunny smiles, and special thanks! :) Hi angel friends! :) my family, Holly, and i hope everyone is doing well, healthy, enjoying a nice day, and we hope everyone enjoyed a happy Easter holiday :) Thank you all for sharing your Easter with us, and for all of your wonderfully heart warming comments :) We're very happy everyone enjoyed our Easter pictures :) You all made our Easter very special :) it was a bittersweet day with all that was happening with my dad having to go into the hospital, but you all kept us in the spirit of the holiday, and keeping us focused on moving forward each day, with good health focus, and making the most of each day :) i want to share some new updates on how my dad is doing, and how we're all chipping in around the house, helping my mom and eachother :)
my dad was admitted to the hospital yesterday, my mom brought him. he hadn't been feeling well, and experiencing some pain in his right side from moving a tractor mower. my dad was diagnosed with bacterial pneumonia in his right lung. he's being treated. they began him on oxygen level 1, and later on moved it up to oxygen level 3. my mom talked with the doctor. his doctor said, that his lungs are vulerable more, due to the covid he had last september. he's recieving good medicine. my mom came back home here during the evening yesterday, and picked up some of my dad's items, slippers, and his cell phone charger. my dad was able to call my mom last evening, shortly after 7pm. it was very comforting for us all to know, he was ok to make a call :) we're hoping and praying that he makes a full healing recovery. my mom's been frazzled, and isn't feeling 100% herself, but is taking good care, and we're all chipping in around the house. Kayla came home yesterday, and Taylynn is here, on spring vacation from school. Holly and i took care of the trash, and also continuing to take good care of our health. Holly's been taking a steroid medicine to help her get well, and i'm back to about 90%, i don't feel 100% yet, but i'm getting closer.
my mom went to visit my dad today. my dad's doing better today, responding very well to the treatments :) he's eating, and also standing up too :) there's a good chance he could come home tomorrow :) We're so glad, and thankful he's making good healing improvement, and will be home soon :) he's responding well to medicine, and my mom said they were able to turn the oxygen treatment down a notch today. it's very good news, for his oxygen level, and his lungs doing better. i'll keep everyone updated often, on how my dad is doing. Things are definitely looking up :) my mom, Lisa, and Kayla went to see my dad this early evening :)
We all hope to be back to 100%, very soon :) it's been a rough stretch of weeks with our health, but we're determined to get better :) we're all doing our best right now, and allowing ourselves time to rest up, getting good sleep at night. We're motivating my mom to eat well, and she also having some hot tea, and took a tylenol this morning. We tried our best yesterday to enjoy the Easter holiday as much as we could. my mom did cook ham and potatoes, which is so nice of her, and we have leftovers :) Through the worrysome moments of dealing with our health, we're keeping on with our daily routines best we can ,and focused on being back to 100% :) You all are helping us keep focused on the positives, and keeping hopeful :) Thank you angel friends, for all of your comforting care, warm well wishes, prayers, and support :)
We're keeping positive, and have lots of spring adventures we look forward too, from car rides to Captain Scott's in New London, CT, to car rides to Bess Eaton's, shopping at the dollar tree, gardening, and lots more :) We're very thankful, and blessed to have you all in our lives, and to be able to share in the season with you all :) You all comfort us, through all times, especially when we need you all the most :) We'll always be here for you all too, our dear angel friends :) You all have always been like family to us :) We're with you all, every step on good health, and healing journey's, and sharing in lots more times with eachother :)
