Holidays, Kids & The Grinch

Ok SO I have my share of fun at work playing the Grinch who stole Christmas. It started out by telling the clients I canceled Christmas and were all going to work right through it. They all laughed and said I couldn't cancel Christmas. SO a couple days went by when last Friday I went and took the 25th off the big calender on the wall and you should have seen the look on their face. You would have thought someone died on the spot. One client said "Oh come'on Santa is coming. So the staff in the room got together with the clients and posted a note on my back that said the Grinch that stole Christmas. I acted like I didn't know it was their and every time I walked in the room they just laughed. On Monday was the Christmas Party for them and I just had to play it up. Santa came in and I said who let him in here. It was so funny they thought they fooled me. I just love my new job it is so much fun to see how much they grow with you. Needless to say as they have left for home this year for the Holidays they all have come to tell me they won't be here to work on the 25th and I act as if I am going to be all alone on Christmas working.

For Christmas I will be going to Boise to spend it with Mick. He is still in the hospital but doing so much better. He still has a couple of weeks to go but who knows. The hospital has dragged things on with getting his Trech looked at. He can do most everything for himself and all his test look great. The only hold up is is trech.

Jeffery and I will do his Christmas on Christmas Eve. He has opt to stay home his best friend Chris is coming home from the military. Jeff can't wait to see him.

THANKS Janet for bringing Dylan home for the holidays. I owe u so much. I think it would be good to have him down for the week.

I hope to make it over to see Judy and her family soon but well see what happens.

If I had one wish for CHRISTMAS it would be that us as sibling could become closer..........

Oh one last note THANKS Dad & Darlene for all your kindness!!!!!!

Great News!

Mick Update: Mick was moved to Meridian to a Acute Care hospital in Meridian Idaho and is doing well. This is a place where you go when you have alot of things going on and need Therapy to. Yesterday was an interesting day he had texted me he needs to see his Dr that is there and if I could help. Being I am back home I called and they said she was in the building still. So I arranged she paid him a visit. He wanted to take his Mestinion again which he took for his MG which is in remission. He thought if he took that again he would feel better. She suggested he didn't need it. So funny thing is he had his speaking valve in and called me on the phone and asked me. I told him his body has been through so much trauma it is now reacting to his therapy of moving around more and is in the defense of wanting it to relax. I told him to wait a couple of months before he took the med again to see if he really needed it. I think he thought it was going to be his quick fix to get out of the Hospital. I'll tell you the highlight of it all is him calling and using his speaking valve. There is nothing like hearing someone say "I Love You" when they can't speak most of the time.

Janet you asked if he will be home by Christmas? I hope so I am hoping to bring him home the 23rd or 24th. It just depends on how well he is doing. He has a ways to go and when he does get home I will stay with him for the first week at his place. My place is way 2 cold for him. He likes it at 100 degrees and I like my place maybe 70. Plus I have 2 many steps for him to go up.


I have your Gift Janet to send I need your address. As fro Christmas unsure and it's up in the air right now. Dylan wants to stay home with his dad this year. Jeff unsure what he has plans for. I did decorate for it all will try and post pic's.

Mick Update Great News

I know that it has been a while sense I have got to write so tonight I got the best news I could from the hospital. Mick is off the ventilator now. Let me go back a few weeks tho....
Mick did have a trach put in after thanksgiving and it all went well for him. He also had his feeding tube moved to his stomach. A day after he received the Trach I went to Boise where I had to deal with a very angry person who didn't quit understand what was happening or why was he still in the hospital. He couldn't understand why he could not leave with me at night and why I could not stay with him. After a couple of days of fighting him and getting him to understand I had to lay down the law of I was not going to be abused by his angry attitude. I told him I would go home if it continued. By the 3rd day he was sound asleep all day so I went home and that night he woke fighting when a Nurse came in and told him that he can fight them or follow the rules to get out. Mick calmed down and has sense been calm enough to follow the instructions to get off the ventilator. I am now hoping to move him to Walla Walla for rehab. I will go down again Tuesday to be with him and work with the hospital to get him moved. Im so excited about it I can hardly wait to get to Boise now. Mick is off all mind altering meds and the best part of this his MG in remission. As I tell him this is what you wanted.

Ill keep you all posted
