So I know I haven't updated since I went up to Seattle in November when he was hospitalized. He was walking a fine line for quite a while but eventually started doing better. They eventually had to put in a tracheostomy to get him breathing on his own. Last week they brought him back over to Yakima to a rehab facility. He was walking with a cane by ( Read more... )

So I'm just about to head home. I'm at the hospital right now. Basically he had a biospy on a mass at the top of his pancreas and they think the biopsy caused an infection. And that a cyst in the pancreas burst which is what had him in so much pain and let the infection out into the belly. So they have lots of tubes coming out of him, draining ( Read more... )

So about a month ago my step mom had to take my dad to the hospital, they thought he was having a heart attack. Turns out it was pancreatitis. Well he's been battling this the entire time. In and out of the hospital. Cancer scares, etc. He was sent to Seattle (they live in Yakima) to have cysts drained that are in his pancreas. Within 36 hours they ( Read more... )

So Friday J was supposed to be on a train (well it's an Amtrak bus but that gets confusing so I'll say train) that got in at 4 ish. But they wouldn't let him on with just his school ID, the first time ever, he uses it ALL the time...irritating. But then his dad was going to put him on the Greyhound that was to get in right around 7:30, perfect ( Read more... )

Well as of yesterday Brian and I have officially made it 7 (8.5 if you include the dating part) years without killing each other! That's a huge accomplishment!

So I am loving my new job. Not loving the unlimited-ish access to internet during the day though. I mean seriously why shouldn't I get to be on the net between calls when there's nothing else to do? Eh? But no, I really like the people I'm working with and feel like I can shine in this position, which is not the way I've felt for the past 4.5 years ( Read more... )
