Happy Independence Day!

Well, I haven't posted in a while because I haven't had a computer. So I decided to take 5 minutes today and post anyway. Things have been pretty busy for us as normal but, we are all doing pretty good. Janae is getting bigger and bigger everyday and Michael is working a lot and is gone a lot. Me I am working my 40 hours and then chasing Janae the rest of the time after that! We have been enjoying summer though...we've been to the zoo, the Orchard to pick strawberries and pet the animals, the library numerous times, and plenty of parks to play and play and play at!!
Aunt Marcia has been sick on and off but, other than that is doing well and hopefully will be home before the end of summer. Grandma is doing pretty good too. She has been fighting her cellulitis on and off but, nothing we can't seem to fight back and win over (still so far anyway.)
So I think that's enough from us for now. As soon as I can I will post some new pictures of the fun things we've been doing. TTFN! Happy 4th of July!

Health updates

Well Aunt Marcia had a foot appointment yesterday and he took the rest of her sutures out and all of her staples. He said that it looked like it was healing well and that if she continued to stay in good spirits and eat well to keep her over all health up that her foot should heal just fine! YAY! What a relief to finally hear. He did tell her that she could put some weight on it now but, only to do transfers to and from her chair. She has her next appointment with him in one month so hopefully by then she will be able to put full weight on it!? She also has been fitted for her prosthesis and will get to learn how to use that pretty soon too.
As for my Grandma she will be spending the weekend in the hospital. We are trying to fight off the cellulitis that she seems to get every couple of months.
Janae well she fell last night down about the last 4 stairs at our house and she smashed her chin and bit her tongue on both sides so we had a pretty rough night trying to sleep!! She seems to be doing a bit better today. Let's hope it don't happen again anytime soon!

Have a GREAT weekend everyone!

Fredrick Meijer Gardens

We had so much fun taking Janae to Fred Meijer Gardens!! She really liked the water but, the butterflies were cool too. :) She loved playing outside in the Childrens Garden and checking out all the cool stuff that is there. It was kind of cold that day so we will have to go back in the summer when it's warmer out and she can play at the water part that was still closed up!

Walking on top of a big dragon statue!
Hanging out with Daddy on the dragon statue.
Walking on the very fun bridge...that shakes and moves as I walk.
Sitting on a nest full of robin's eggs...how cool is this place!

Taking the time to stop and smell the flowers!
Looking at the butterflies with Grandma...man are they cool.
Look at me I'm a butterfly!!!
And again!!!

Visitin with Aunt Marcia (Arcia as Janae says.)

Thats a pretty neat "leg" ya got there Aunt Arcia!!

Would you like one of these great cheese puffs Aunt Arcia?

At the Park!

This is me on the merry go round! It was lots of fun. I was thinking that I was pretty big stuff standing up on it while it was spinning around.
This is me and mommy on the big wooden truck.
Again on the wooden truck...saying cheese for daddy.

This is me on the way to the park saying cheese to mommy...I love to say cheese for the camera, I'm such a ham (so they say!!)
This one is me and daddy going down the BIG slide...WHEEEEE!
And here go me and momma down the truck slide, we had so much fun. I can't wait to go back.

Hope everyone is enjoying these wonderful spring days we are having...we sure are! Janae and I (and daddy when he's home) have been loving that we can get outside and play (and work.) It's just so much better than being cooped up inside.
As for Aunt Marcia she is now in the Laurels of Carson City. It's a nice place but, I will say it's not perfect. It's nice (definitely not as terrible as Ionia dont think that's really possible.) We haven't had too many problems but, I do have a couple of issues that are annoying me. She is healing "ok" she needs to see a wound specialist once a week in order to heal properly and well she didn't get to see one last week so I'm calling her podiatrist next week to have him set her up an appointment. There is only one spot that isn't healing and now they are thinking that looks infected! So we will soon see. She has a doctor's appointment with Dr. Harris on May 15.
I suppose I have to stop typing now and take Janae outside because she is over banging on the window! We haven't had our outside play time yet today and she's not taking a day off! Hope this finds everyone well.

Just thought I would update everyone on how my Aunt was doing. She is now in Spectrum Health - Butterworth Hospital in Grand Rapids (again.) She was taken down after her appointment on Thursday in Greenville, the doctor wanted her admitted ASAP so that she could start getting IV antibiotics. They did a debreedment on her left foot and removed three toes yesterday! So now we wait and see how she heals and then hopefully it will go well and we can bring her home soon!!! So now she is down to having only 2 toes left but, they say that she has good circulation in those 2 (so cross your fingers and pray hard for her!)

As for us we are all doing well...it's been a pretty slow week Thank goodness. (for a change!) Just the normal stuff like work and well a couple of appointments but, not a lot of running around. I start softball practice tomorrow so that should be interesting since I haven't played since a year after high school :) Hope all is well with everyone else.
