hey guys....sorry about the late update today....it has been busy here.....Niecey held her own today.....she is still on the vent ..... they did the broncoscope today........the doc said that when she went in from the top the right lung looked ok so she didn't even go in because she didn't want to risk spreading the fungal infection to it.....the left lung when she went in she had to clear a lot of gunk to be able to get a good look at....there was good news and not so good news....the not so good was they did see the infection in the tissue of her lung which makes it harder too get rid of .....but the good news is it seems to be localized right now to the upper part of her left lung so they are going to do a Cat scan tomorrow to see how far it goes and are going to see if it responds to the anti-fungals if that doesn't work we may be looking at trying to surgically remove it before it spreads......she is breathing a bit easier tonight but the doc said it is going to be a very long road for her.....so all in all a so-so report but some nice little rainbows shined through.......gotta run for now ......talk to you all tomorrow......squeezing tightly to your hands, praying and trusting God ((((group hugs))))

April, it is good to hear from you as I know myself and all the sisters patiently and not so patiently for your reports...It is good to here that even with the not so good news that there is good new too...I and I speak for all the sisters are here and squeezing your hands so tight they are numb...Hopefully the infection will respond to medication so no further treatment will be needed....Please let her know that her "aunties" are all here sending hugs and prayer to her...Always remember there is a rainbow peeking out from someplace...HUGS to you 

Well, sisters, it's been quite an interesting 36 hours!!!  LOL. Daughter, SIL, and the granddaughters arrived here Friday morning about 1:30AM.  We had the kids yesterday and last nite while daughter and SIL went to a family wedding, then stayed overnite at SIL's mom's house, which is about 20 minutes from us (to enjoy the peace and quiet!).  Kept the kids busy yesterday playing outside here for a while in the a.m., then we hooked up at Chuck E. Cheese with my sister-in-law and her granddaughters who are similar in age to these 3.  Kids had a blast, although, I hadn't been there in decades!  The food is still just as bad as I remembered it...as well as the noise level (maybe worse!)...and they've now gone to game pass cards.  They all got X amount of points and when they'd finished, they were done.  At least it was a time for the cousins to spend together....and it was air conditioned!!!  LOL.

Today the kids and I went to a local park (we call it "the airplane park") around 10 a.m.  At 11, they opened the gate to the wading pool, so, of course, they all wanted to get wet!!  We had to go home and get suits on, towels, some snacks, etc.--and connect with daughter to have them bring lunch to the park for all of usI  It ultimately worked, although we didn't have lunch till around 1:30.  But I was totally SHOCKED that we managed to spend almost the entire afternoon there (pool closed at 4 and we left about 3:15 PM when Li'l 'Un melted down!!).  What surprised me the most was that the older girls (10+ and 8+) had as much fun as the toddlers who were there!!!  LOL. The oldest one is actually quite a pied piper.  She had the little kids doing the Hokie Pokie, playing a version of Duck-Duck-Goose, and just generally entertaining the crowd of wee ones!!!  It was very cute! 

Meanwhile, our Li'l 'Un, who will (very proudly!) be 4 next month, for the first time, started putting her face, then her whole head under the water....and after about 30 minutes of Mom taking "bideos", we saw that she was floating and actually moving her arms in the water!!  So she is close to being ready to swim with a few more water sessions and, hopefully, some lessons.

They've all packed up and left for MIL's house (it's a revolving door motel here!) as one of SIL's long-time buddies and his family are getting together with them tomorrow afternoon at the community pool at the MIL's.  We are invited....and will make a decision tomorrow about going over for a while.  Probably should, but I also need to start focusing on getting ready to leave on Wednesday!!

Weather was perfect today....scattered clouds, some overcast off and on, but enough sun to stay warm if need be.  That park has a nice covered ramada with picnic tables for parties, groups, etc. so we found some shade there for our lunch of hot dogs!!  LOL

Hope you all had a lovely Saturday!

I tried to post last nite but tinypic didn't work and it got late with the kids.

So very pleased that there was some good news to report, April.....she is a fighter and she will hang in there.  Holding your hands tightly and praying that the doctors will do the best they can to clear this up and get her moving forward. 

You, Niecey, and your family are always in my thoughts and prayers.
