Blah...

I am sitting at my computer at my house and couldn't feel more like trash. It has been a crazy week with our family and Friday night cannot come soon enough... Here's why:

1. My brother Jeremy went to Primary Children's on Tuesday to have his tonsils and adnoids taken out. He has been sick with a fever for a month now, and it breaks my heart to see him sick for so long. My mom is exhausted from all the caregiving and worrying about him. Anyway, the doctor said that it's tonsilitis and the best thing to do is take them out. For all of you that know him, Jeremy is a loud guy pretty much all the time. When they went in for surgery they found out why: He has a big flap of skin over his voicebox, which makes him sound like he's snoring when he breathes. They decided to take care of that while they were in there. If this all works out, I am sure his and my parents' life will be SO much different and a lot more easy and quiet! The doctors said that they expect him to be in the hospital for a day, and now we're going on 3. This morning I got a call from my mom at about 5:45 saying that his CO2 spiked way high and his oxygen was super low, so they put him in intensive care. They expect him to be in there for a day or two, and then I am guessing they will probably put him back into the post-surgical unit until he is fever-free for 24 hours and breathing well. My mom and dad are both staying at the hospital with him while he's in intensive care and John and Mal are holding the fort down with Justin.

2. Zac has had a bad week at work, which is never fun for anyone. Plus we just found out that he is traveling two weeks in a row in September. 'Nuff said.

3. I was seriously ready to take Maisey's collar off and let her go free last night. We stayed at my parents house for a few days with Jeremy's surgery and appointments we had up there. She is a great dog, but she does not like to be ignored and she lets us know. I have been so busy with being at the hospital and taking care of Bug that we really haven't played with her at all. My mom has a nice little sitting room in the entryway of her house with a pretty piano, nice white carpet, and a big ficus tree that takes up about half of the room. Twice while we were up there, Maisey got into the dirt of the plant and dug it out onto the carpet. And it's happened before. It's getting old. After we cleaned up the mess and made her sit by it and pout, I walked in to the living room and saw that she tore up Livi's (my family's dog) sleeping cushion and ate the stuffing in it. Dumb dog. She would have been toast last night if Zac hadn't stuck up for her. Ugh. $17 and a new cushion later, everything was back to normal. I am still not convinced that she's staying. I just keep telling myself that she will be a great asset to the family when there are more of us to play with her. We'll see.

4. The car accident I blogged about awhile back has been causing me major headaches, so I finally broke down and went to the chiropractor today. I guess my neck is all tweaked which is messing with the nerves back there, causing me daily headaches. And I stick my neck foreward. So I feel like crap and look weird? Good news. I guess because of it my back and hips were out of place as well. So I got thoroughly popped today, and it scared me to death! Has anyone else been to the chiropractor? The hips and back weren't so bad, but when he did my neck it popped in about 10 different spots and made this crazy noise and I thought for sure my head was going to fall off. According to the chiropractor, that doesn't happen but I don't know if I believe it... So anyway, now I feel like my back is out of line in so many different places and I want to pop it so bad, but I don't want to undo what he did. I have to go in again next week to see what the plan of attack is. Fun.

5. The good part of the week was that Harrison got tooth #3. This one is on the top. They seem to be coming in quick - the sooner the better! He also started waving this week. He is growing so fast!

Since blogs aren't as much fun without pictures, here are a few.

Jeremy and me when were were little.

Get well soon Bearsys! We love you!

Maisey. What a stinker.

Me and my friend/Chinese roommate Kim. Kind of random, but she just announced on her blog that she's preggo, and I am way excited for her. Congrats girlfriend! I am crossing my fingers it's a boy...
