5/10/10 - Still Celebrating...

Today we were still celebrating Mother's Day...I didn't get a chance to stop over this weekend to visit with my stepmom, so I headed over after work for a while. I hadn't seen her, or my dad, for a few weeks now, so it was nice to catch up. Olivia had TONS of fun running around, taking over the house. Climbing on all kinds of new stuff, showing grandma and grandpa everything she can do. It was pretty entertaining. And, I'm still just amazed by how much she adores my dad...I keep thinking she's going to start being scared of him, but she isn't. He got home after I'd gotten over there, and she ran over to greet him, so excited. I just can't believe it!

After some playing, dinner and catching up, Olivia and I were on our way home. It was another VERY rainy day here...again, all day and night, so the drive was a little slow..but at least I missed rush hour! Christian's sister gave him their surround sound system when they moved last month, so he had been working on hooking that up while we were gone. He's been driving me nuts about that, so I'm glad that's done! Olivia spent the evening reading...she's really been getting into her books lately. She reads to herself, brings us books to read, she just loves it. But, she keeps bringing me the Spanish books..she just doesn't get it :)
It sounds like my grandpa is holding up pretty well, considering. He's still in the hospital waiting to meet with the surgeon so they can figure out the best route to take. It sounds like he's in good spirits though. He's still on oxygen to keep his blood flowing and get that fluid out of his lungs, and he's still not really up to walking around and all that, but it doesn't sound like he's getting worse, which is great! My grandma is having a really hard time though. Her heart attack around Christmas really took it out of her...she hasn't been herself since, and from what my dad tells me, her dementia is really bad with my grandpa being away. It's been a rough couple of months for the family...all we can do is pray for them both and hope everything comes together and they start feeling better...soon!
