Me and my harmonica

I hope you had a wonderful Christmas. Ours was such a nice day. I will post some pictures later. We got some family photos taken and I'm excited to see them. Christmas is all about being with your loved ones and eating, of course. jk

I went to Colorado for my brother, Gary's wedding. It was so nice to be with my family and be there to see Gary and Emmalee get married. He is my youngest brother and now we're all hitched. I looooove weddings! getting dressed up, seeing friends and family and eating yummy food. It's the party to have. I want to post a few photos of that later as well.

After I flew back to Ohio, Eric and the kids picked me up and we drove home. The next morning Avery had her n-g tube replaced with a g-tube, going through her stomach wall. The procedure itself went well, but boy did she wake up mad. Last night and this morning she was still in some pain, but she was smiling before she fell asleep for her morning nap! hallelujah. Last night her blood oxygen levels were low, they even dropped at one point to 35 (she was 85 before the procedure). She's on some oxygen now and I'm certain it's the extra fluid in her that's bringing her levels down, and that will improve. Sooo, long day and night, but she's on the mend and hopefully we'll go home tonight or, and I really hope not, tomorrow morning. Happy New Year to us

Thank you to some friends for watching Zachery while we're here. I've thought a lot about Zach this year and how he's doing with everything. I feel that we all might be behind, but we'll make it just fine.
Happy New Year 2009!

Happy new year to you too -- sounds like 2008 was very eventful for you in lots of ways and I'm (as always) impressed at how well you handle everything. Love you!

I'm so glad you were able to go to Gary's wedding, I worried with everythign going on you'd have to miss it. What a blessing. I hope your little one gets better soon and that 2009 is totally boring for you!

hey, I'm a little slow, what does me and my harmonica mean? I just read through this two more times to see if I missed the harmonica reference
