I'm sad to report that my fathers health is deteriorating and that he was put onto comfort care yesterday. The doctors said that he would just continue to have reoccurring episodes and that there was nothing they could do for him to have any kind of quality life. That the best thing for him was to make him comfortable for the last days of his life......just continue to keep him in your thoughts and prayers. 

Decided to rename my tab to more renos figured everyone would think it was an under construction web page not an actual web page. Any way  loaded some of my living room pictures still have to find the others guess thats what happens when you have too many computers to load to. 

I have to add that writing in my reno blog is helping me feel a lil more like me!! Probably boring for anyone who still comes here but its making me feel a lil more like the Old Shari!!

And if you like the reno blog than please link it!!

Thanks and good nite all!

My Dad pulled through the surgery very well and is now recuperating. He didn't loose very much blood and seems to be adjusting pretty well. The pain drugs have continued to make him more confused than normal. I talked to him briefly today and he basically sounded like a Dodo bird. The nurse said he was smiling up a storm but he couldn't really talk. he rehab starts in the next day or two. Hoping that gos well. Soon we leave for Parkers operation in Vancouver, hoping to get our passports renewed while we are there. Still have many things to look into before we decided to go down. I just got rid of a cold sore and now I'm starting to get another one. I normally get one every once in awhile during season change.... or when I'm really stressed and run down.......can you tell which one it is this time???  Anyway please keep Dad in your thoughts and prayers..........xoxox 

On my mind...... keep my dad in your thoughts and prayers he is going into surgery first thing tomorrow morning, he fell yesterday at the nursing home and fractured his hip. My heart sank when I heard this, my mom passed away from a blood clot from the same procedure. Trying to figure out how fast I can renew my passport, how much last minute flights are and if there is availability, did talk to my friend Denise and she has kindly offered me a place to stay. The next few days will determine EVERYTHING!!!! I LOVE YOU DAD!!! as you said there is no where in heaven or earth that could ever take us from each other.... we are and will always be connected.xox. 

Just a bunch of pics, boy Kalis hair was longer than I thought before I cut it!!......... hope you all enjoy em!

Haven't felt much like posting anything... you know when things weigh heavy on your mind and you just can't quite get out how you feel or what you wanna say. Thats how I have been feeling. But I just got off the phone with my father..... who was taken from the nursing home to the hospital the other day. He is about 80% back to himself. He has some sort of infection that is causing most of his confusion. What a relief to hear him more like himself!!! Now I just have to get a hold of a doctor and find out all the details from him. Keep him in your thoughts and prayers. thanks.

Yesterday was my dads 85 th birthday!! Can you believe that.... imagine what he has seen in his life time what he has lived through!  I still haven't been able to get too many answers as what is going on with my dad, it being a week end and all. I have talked to him a couple of times and he knows who I am and stuff  but he does seems quite confused. I need to talk to his doctor and find out if his meds are right or if there is something new in the mix that could be causing the confusion. I want to try and get him closer to his old surroundings and closer to where his girlfriend lives. I am really hoping there will be an open bed for him in Quincy. So much has happened but hasn't if that makes any sense. I thank God for Joanie his girlfriend, she has been taking care of everything. I was a bit hurt initially that she was doing everything and felt like she was taking over and making decisions too fast. But now I can see that she has been making the right ones. I'm not sure when I'll be able to make it there..... I want to go but don't want to go now and have to go back again . I'll have to wait and talk to everyone first and find out exactly what is happening and what needs to be done and by when before I go. Plus I have Parkers operation coming up soon.  Sorry just not in the mood to write anymore..... too much on my mind.  And not sure how to express it. 

I came home from work today to terrible news...... my dad has been put into a nursing home.I still don't know all the details yet as there is a three hour time difference and it was almost 10 pm there time when I got home. My dads Bday is on the 16 of May he'll be 85..... Its just sooooo hard being here and him soooo far away. I am heart broken for him.  No one wants to loose their independence. I don't know where he is, or what the facility is like? Are there secured grounds for him to get out, how do I go about getting his stuff to him and making sure all his things are taken care of? what about his finances and medical care? will he have access to his own money? Whos gonna buy him his personal care products? I just wanna fly down there and bring him home!!!!! I am just sooooo upset and well, I just need sometime to have it sink in and do whats best for him the best way I can from here.... if it can' t be done from here ....well I'll cross that bridge soon enough.... I'll be phoning them from work in the morning. Keep my dad in your thoughts and prayers........... I'm soooooo worried for him. You just think of your father as a SUPER HERO and that nothing could ever happen to him..... CUZ I"m still his Little girl!!
