Thanksgiving & Mimi & Papa's visit

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!

Sorry for the long delay in updating the blog, but my parents, Leah and Bill or Mimi & Papa to the grandkids, were here for a 10-day visit. It had been about 16 months since they had seen Faith (they saw Anthony in May when I brought him out for a weekend on one of my work trips) and although I've shown them a couple videos they really enjoyed seeing how much she has grown in person. They were very impressed with everything she is doing and I was so glad for both her and Anthony to get some really nice time with them. Unfortunately, just about everyone in the house was sick. I called Faith's pulmonologist and put her on antibiotics right away since she has her surgery tomorrow, but the rest of us just suffered through it. Fred and my dad had it the worst and that definitely limited doing very much while they were here. But we did get out for a few things, Mom and I went to a play downtown with my friend Janeen and a bunch of women she invited, called "Girls Only" that was very funny; then we went to Anthony's school play -- he was "Squanto" an Indian who taught the pilgrims how to plant corn (very cute); grocery shopping of course for the big meal which Mom & I cooked on Thursday; Mom, Dad and I went to see the movie "Australia" later in the week which was long but good; on Sunday we took the kids to see Santa at the mall and got a couple pictures and finally I got to go to lunch with Mom & Dad before taking them to the airport on Tuesday. Sounds like we were busy, but that was spread over 10 days and the rest the time we sat around eating, watching TV or reading.
So tomorrow is rapidly approaching for Faith's BAHA surgery. We have to leave the house around 7am to check in by 8. I think her surgery is supposed to start around 9am and take 2-3 hours. Then she goes to recovery for a couple hours and then sent home. So I will try really hard to post by tomorrow night with her status.

I better get to bed and get some sleep!

Love,
Robin
