Day after Christmas

I had such fun yesterday and did I pay for it yesterday afternoon.

Dh and I opened our gifts Christmas eve night and we had a nice just the two of us evening. It was calm and peaceful and then we watched Ice Age and Ice Age 2 togeather. i know it is a childs cartoon but it is just too cute. I like the first one better than the 2nd. And I fell in love with that squirrel and wanted to help him get the nut.

Yesterday morning we got up late ate just a quick snack/breakfast just to take my meds, (take with food) then went to my dds house. This was the first time that I did not have entire family at my house and it felt good to have some one else in the family do it this time. My daugter in law had been in the hospital for a week so son and his family could not come. My DIL had a gastric bypass, she has lost over 100 pounds in 5 months, she only takes in about 100 calories a day and she gets dehydrated often. She actually had to have it because the weight ofn her body restricted her breathing to the point of having to go to hospital to be put on oxygen.My dd cooked as good as I could have done. She fixed baked ham, rolls, deviled eggs, stuffing, brown sugar smokies hmmm hmmm good. green bean casserole, tiny ears of corn mixed with broccoli and beans, hmmm hmmm good. And she make home made banana pudding.

we opened gifts first and you know having a child around brings more Christmas smiles. The baby turned 3 in Oct and at that age nearly everything a child does or says is funny. And they are so easy to please. SIL had a shirt put in a pop corn box for easy wrapping. Baby saw the box and said "Wow daddy, you got pocorn can I have some too" He was dissappointed when he found out that it was a shirt for daddy and not a box of popcorn.

I over did the hugging and the standing up, but I resisted and did not pick the baby up and that is so hard to do when he says "pick me up, gan ma" When we got home it felt as if something was pulling the flesh in my tummy. I started running a fever and kept telling my dh it was 35 degrees in the house and he tried to convince me that it was 75. I was sitting there with a heating pad on my tummy, a thick housecoat on and a blanket covering me and was still shivering.I took and oxycodone and went to bed and this morning I am better actually feel really good.

BAD NEWS- just got phone call my mom is on her way to the hospital, dr. thinks she has pneamonia (gosh thats a hard word to spell) Any way I knew she was sick and when I called her this morning to check on her (she is 82)I gently berated her for not going to the dr. the beginning of the week and told her to get ready I would call Sis and Sis would take her to the dr. She finally has agreed to go. Sis just called. Pneumonia is serious at any age but especially at her age. Please keep her in your prayers.I have always heard things comes in 3's-Fist DIL in hospital for her breatheing, then me for hysterectomy, now mom. Hopefully we will soon be through with hospitals.
