Gene took Tia to the doctor last week, so she has been taking her horse pills all week. She was counting them and thought they shorted her a day (she sounded disappointed) but quickly realized the pharmacist can count. This is the most school she has ever missed (of 4 days, most of which she was running a temp). Tia missed last week and this weeks tumbling (it was nice to be home). Gene and I were both nervous and didn't want to catch it with Jeff's upcoming surgery. Which finally happened Monday and all went well. Jeff had his left adrenial gland removed with a 3 cm tumor in it. They think it is genetic and he will have to watch his right one. I was not real impressed with the hospital in general. It was a good thing I didn't get to spend much time there, although I may have come to like it better??? I was out of vacation with our trip to China, so Gene was on Dad TLC watch. We knew ahead that he would go to ICU to watch his blood pressure and heart rate, but he got stuck there after he was able to be moved on Tuesday morning. Spent all day Tuesday and didn't get a regular room until Wednesday noon and got to go home Thursday noon. Gene said the bed next to him in ICU gurgled alot(misery and pain, you feel bad for them, but do you want to listen to it 24/7). Then his roommate in the next room was an alcoholic that was told he was killing himself. He was in denial and told all his visitors he had the flu...wake up buddy!!
We had a nice surprise while we were waiting on Jeff's surgery. Tim was driving through Iowa with a friend that was moving to Georgia and stopped by long enough to say hi. He wasn't able to see Jeff and Jeff wouldn't have remembered it anyway. Curt checked in and is off to Rota, Spain again. Wasn't sure if he would be home in time to have turkey with Ryan, Nykki and Kathy or not in Alexandria, Virginia.
This week was American Education Week...Great Public Schools-A Basic Right and Responsibility. Not sure what that has to do with wearing certain colors to school each day, but it was great for Tara. Each day she had a color she was suppose to wear to school, so we went in looked in her drawers and picked out the clothes for the next day. She wore things she wouldn't normally wear and now maybe I will see them more often :o)
