Halloween went on as planned; complete with more wind and freezing temps. I tried to talk the kids into staying home (one is 13 and one is 6) but that was a no go. So off we went. We stayed out for about 2 hours until they both said they were tired and called it a night. Wouldn't you know - the next morning; both woke up coughing; with sore throats and fevers. I guess we could call that a mommy fail; but they were so excited to go; I just couldn't say no!
& to top the week off, because Murphy's Law and everything; I spent Saturday in the hospital with my dad who had a heart attack. Found out he has 2 of his 3 heart arteries with complete blockages and the 3rd is trying in vain to catch up to the first two. He is going to have to have double bypass sometime next week; I'll find out exactly when on tomorrow or Monday. Being a nurse myself; I know all of the crazy crap that can happen during surgeries, especially with someone who has other health conditions, which he does. So, stressful; anxiety filled; scary times around here right now!

OmG, I am so sorry to hear about your father! I know it is one horrible period of his life but I really hope that he will be strong enough and that he will get through it.
ReplyDeleteTake care and I wish you all the best!
It is horrible! & I hate that it happens to so many people! We are looking at a good outcome though!
DeleteI'm so sorry to hear about your father's heart attack and the trees getting blown on the car. That was some crazy scary week for you?! I'm also a nurse, and I feel your anxiety.. but as nurses we also know most bypass operations are successful nowadays!! ;) I'll keep my fingers crossed for you guys! ;)
ReplyDeleteHappy reading!
It was a super crazy week! I think, as a nurse, we tend to overthink a lot lol. So I think I needed to hear that today! Happy reading to you as well!
DeleteI am so glad your daughter and dad weren't hurt in the storm! How scary! I am sorry to hear about your dad's heart attack. What a week, you've had!
ReplyDeleteI was worried about sending my daughter trick-or-treating on Halloween because of all the smoke from the fires throughout the city and neighboring areas, but she begged and pleaded so we took her out for a little bit. She had a good time.
I hope your kids are feeling better soon as well as your dad. I hope the surgery goes well.
Take care of yourself! Have a good week.
Oh my gosh! So scary with your dad and daughter and now him needing surgery! I hope it all works out okay! Our town moved our trick-or-treating up a day and I'm glad they did because Halloween was awful here too. The area suffered a lot of flooding, but not our town, at least. My husband and I took both kids out - they are about the same ages as yours 12 (13 in three days) and 5. I hope you have a better week and I'll be praying for your dad.
ReplyDeleteWhat a week!
ReplyDeleteI hope your kids are feeling better and that your dad's surgery goes well! I don't blame you for feeling anxious, I'd be crawling out my skin with stress!
