Spring Break 2019

So happy we were able to spend the first half of Spring Break in RR with the family last week.  We were able to get in soccer games, family dinner, cousin sleepover, and countless stories/laughter.  We were sad to head home mid week, but always look forward to the next time together!  Once home, we had to stay in town rather than heading to Grapeland due to the cold and rainy weather.  So, we made the best of the rest of our time with seeing friends, playing family game days, movie nights, cooking and geocaching.  I wish we had more days where we could wake up and decide what we want to do for the day while cooking breakfast together, ha!  Then, unexpectedly, we got a call Friday afternoon that Nana was on her way to the hospital.  We quickly packed and rushed to Round Rock.  It is never a good feeling knowing you are hours away when a parent is in need.  I know from past experiences that sometimes you just can't make it in time.  Knowing this, I tried to stay calm and get whatever info I could before we got there.  When we arrived, Nana was in extreme pain and vomiting.  It was a long waiting game until answers came that she had 2 partial bowel obstructions and would be admitted.  Several methods to clear the obstructions were tried over the next 4 days and we were blessed they worked and she would not have to undergo surgery.  The next 3 days were a waiting game as we had to head home for school/work while Mendy helped at hospital during her Spring Break.  Once Nana's INR and blood pressure was under control, she was able to come home yesterday.  I know just being home will help her sleep and heal fast!  I am looking forward to going to RR tomorrow to spend the weekend and early next week with her.
