NOT ME MONDAY

Welcome to Not Me! Monday! This blog carnival was created by MckMama. You can head over to her blog to read what she and everyone else have not been doing this week.

This week will be alittle short.

I did not bring equipment home from the firedepartment so i could study my practical skills for my test tonight.

I did not break open every chocolate in the box of chocolates that my hubby gave me for valentines day only to find out they were only the same.

I did not let my hubby, step dad, and son make my front yard a dirt bike track.

I did not find my check card laying on the side of the road in the town next to ours(well hubby actually found it while he was reading meters)

I did not just leave 5 no 6 loads of laundry in baskets by my chair because i was tired of folding for a while.

I did not win $34 at bingo friday night.

I did not go and freeze my butt off yesterday and watched the guys practice football.

I am not going to have a birthday party in a couple weeks when her birthday was actually january 1st

Just another day

I have not blogged in a week, so much has went on that when i get home from the hospital i go to bed. I think i have 5 more loads of laundry to do, i have done about 3-4 every night. Well my father-in-law is doing somewhat better. Yesterday they did a heart cath and found no blockage but he does have congestive heart failure(chf) and its not cureable. Usually you die from complications that arise from that like not being able to breathe and what. But he is not himself, if he makes it out of the hospital he will most likley need 24 hour care. We will not put him in a nursing home what so ever. He is still really working to breathe, which he has COPD, which we think is why he had the heart attack since his heart or brain was not getting enough oxygen. Just putting to much stress on his heart.
I thought i would share the story of last sunday because he was indeed very lucky.
For that last week he had really not been himself, telling us we would all miss him when hes gone. Well sunday he was having trouble breathing, breaking out in sweat. They put his oxygen on him and turned it up to 5 and still it was helping. Then about 2 hours later he stuck his head in the freezer door, when his girlfriend asked him what he was doing he looked at her and his lips were black. He was going into respiratory failure, usually you will just get cynosis but he hadn't got good O2 for a while. Well they loaded up and he finally agreeded to go the hospital. All the way there he was really trying to breathe. She pulled up to the ER entrence and they brought out a wheel chair and took him inside and then she went and parked the car. When she came back she no more said "im here honey bunch" and thats when it hit. he jumped about 2 feet out of the wheelchair, eyes rolled in the back of his head and he stiffened up just as you would a seizure. They rushed him back there and worked on him for about 15minuates. His heart went into asysotle, which is usually a rrthym of he heart that is not one they can get the person back. Somehow they did. put him on a ventalator and sent him to ccu. If it wasn't for being at the hospital he would have died, everything was timed perfect. Although he never wanted to be shocked or put on a ventalator.
Me and michael were in owasso at his football practice and finally my step-dad called us and nobody else had tried. so we hauled butt to bartlesville, which is a good 45min but i made it in 15 min prob lol.

He does have some brain damage that you can tell already, he raises his hands up and doesn't even know that he is doing it. He will ask where he is at and he also said that it was january 19, 1999. He is very slow and his right hand is drawn up. He reminds me alot of my grandpa when he had his massive heart attack and then ended up with dementia from brain damage.

I have to say we have some really great friend, people have babysat for us since we spend all day at the hospital and hubby took the whole week off. Everybody calls on the hour it seems like.
Well i am going, got to get ready to go to the hospital and sit with him while his wife goes to eat with her kids. We can't leave him alone cause he tries to get up.
I ll try to update more
HAPPY VALENTINES DAY!!!

please pray

today my father in law had a massive heartattack, he is not good, hes in icu, i can home for a few things and i am going back to the hospital. Please pray for our family
