Saturday 31st dad's progress

well finally made it to sydney and i got to see my dad.

well i was impressed in how he looked, still sedated and not with it.

When i told him who i was he moved his mouth and fluttered eyes. the kids made him a get well card.

Dean and mum went in and ad opened his eyes & squeezed the ladies hand(nurse) when asked which is a good sign.

He is hair less there is not one part of body they have left hair on, very prickerly.
Mum seems heaps relaxed, which she should be dad will be coming home. It is gong to be a long process but we are happy to wait aslong as it takes.

His BP goes up when we talk to him i think it is him trying to respond to us. He can move his limbs - arms and legs. He is sick of the mouth piece in as he keeps biting it.

On monday he will undergo a head x ray to see if the sedation has caused any brain damage.

Tomorrow Salah dads boss is heading up that wy for a visit, he and his wife have been fantastic.

I will get another trip in within the end of next week. and if he is able to speak over the phone during end of week ill call and tell him i am thinking of him.

Aunty Janeen heading out for a visit tomorrow

He is very fat looking but it is the fluid he is on. He has a huge chest scar and bruising, but clearing well. they regularly shave him and he looks wonderful.

We stopped and grabbed some red rooster and watched the go kart rider. it was a nice dinner but $35.00 i was not happy, but kidsand us needed tuckers.

Got home at 9pm to here mum and sis evacuated from there hotel as it is so dangerous and the owner felt like they were going to be in danger, so they staying with aunty heather.

other then that i am stuffed and heading to bed. Tomorrow we are going to watch the truck expo at shw ground.

over the week

As you are all aware we have had a few stressful situation over the weeks. Well i have had time to sit and relect on these situations and i feel i have held myself together pretty good. I no tears my flow and a few words said but over all i hav pulled through good. It is nice to get regular check in's from the relo's to see how i am going eg. Aunty Cath and Aunty Gail,oh and Aunty Neenie but she regularly contacts me.
I must mean a lot to them. Nice to NO!!!!!!

Our family is very special and unique and i think you should cherish that as it can be there one second and a blink of a eye it can all be gone..........

Anyways mother just phoned and said the doctors are really impressed with old boys progress, they are removing the big machine(unsure what one as of yet i will ask tonight) and he has had a ECG and the results look promising.

He has opened his eyes once but then closed soon after.

I think in a few days he should have an awareness of whats going on, i hope he doesn't stress and cause problems with his body.

I CANT TELL YA HOW SPECIAL THIS MAN IS LET ALONE TO ME, WE ALL HAVE DIFFERENT REALTIONSHIPS WITH PEOPLE AND ME AND DAD HAVE A BEST FRIEND RELATIONSHIP AS WELL AS MY MATE. WHEN EVER I NEED ADVICE OR HELP I ASK DAD FIRST SPECIALLY IF IT IS TO DO WITH LITTLE LADY. WELL GET WELL MATE AND WE WILL SPEAK IN A FEW DAYS.
OH WE NEVER WON LOTTO LAST NIGHT BUT 50 MILL NEXT WEEK WANT TO GO HALVES????????????

Week down the track - Dads progress

No more news other then they are trying t owake dad and there has been no response.

They are a little concerned but compaired what he has been through they are not suprised, his eyes will flutter, but not open. Mum and Shawn have bee trying there hardest to wake him but no avail yet...

Leg will move but not on command.

Mum had to get some PJ's as hers were wet. Sointo Coles and a quick phone call to Markie helped her out with the Aisle.

He has another stable night and just hope mum and shawn can wake him up today...

Dean and i have decided to head up that way tomorrow and see how things are going. We will have to take the kids. Last night i brought a ticket in the lotto as dad and i always go halves. Well of cause we never win but thts not the point....... So looks like we both will be be struggling again for a few more years.... Bummer...

Dad's - Day 6 Progress

They doctor has been very impessed with dads progress, he is still in a critical state and things coulld change within a flash but he is stable. They have reduced back a few machines, asin the sedation. They are doing a neurological test on him today. Mum is moving into a unit at the hospital. It allows for 4 people or so to stay there. Shawn and Kate have been by mums side the whole time. I had to come home to watch the kids, work etc and Simone and Greg the same. Ithink Simone and Greg are heading up there tomorrow and Shawn and Kate are ducking home tomorrow ro see there kids.

I am not sure when ill be heading up thatway probaly over the weekend. Personally there is nothing i can do up there and i no my dad would want me to keep living life. I promised him i will look after his little girl Charlee so thats what i have done. It is really weird as dad and i always go in major lotto draws so i sent hima message asking does he want to go halves in a ticket..... Shame because i got no reply.

I feel i am coping at the moment as the news is alot better then what we were told over the past new days...... I just pray he keeps improving and only hope for the best.

Dad's progress day 5

well another positive night, dad managed to be kept stable so it is a bless.
i havebeen over and cleaned mum and dads house. Vacuumed and mopped the floor. cleaned the fridge and tupperware cupboard out. While i was there i noticed ther was a lot of stuff that mum and dad really dont need so when they both come home we might have a huge clean up. Now dad is unwell and mum has been for some time there are a few things they need to chuck so the maintanining of the house will not be as much.

Mum sounds so much better over the phone and within her self. I think i is such a relief that m dad is finally stable while the whole weekend we thought we will be loosing him, i told you all he is a fighter.

well thats it for today please checking to see my dads progress and hope fully soon he will be awake and on his way home..
LOVE YOU DAD ALWAYS YOUR BABY KASE

dads update

all weekend there has been terrible news and life was very very critical. Yesterday my dad had managed to be stable enough to be transferred to st vincents hospital where they will remove all medications and replace them with machines.

his left hand side of the heart has improved and he might have to have a heart transplant. The doctors have assured us they will do there best.

He is on artifical heart and lung machine and dialysis.

My poor Dad

Well last night was a terrible night my Dad had a heart attack and is still having them as we speak. He got flown to St George hospital for surgery. He had been suffering chest pin all day and had forgot to tell anyone....... He is a stubborn man!

Anyways he had a fall and was unconsious. So he has to laserations to his forehead. one on his eye lid pretty deep, as it is so close to the eye they only put steri strips to keep in tact, and the other is large grazes to forehead and a few bumps. The pig stand that he bumped his head on is now in the garage sale next door had today.

The doctors have found that he has blood clots on the heart and they gave him an injection to put the clots through and that was unsuccessful. We were a little skeptical saying yes to the injection as there were risks, but he benfits outweighted the risks.

Poor mum not handling well and is over th place. i think us kids have been a good team and are doing the right things on dads behalf... Simone, greg, kate and shawn have taken mum up to the hospital and they have just arrived. i am awaiting on a phone call letting me no whats going on, the doctor is in with dad now.

We rung dads boss Salah, ad he was down in a flash thanks salah for your support and thoughts. He has guarenteed us the world and i no he would keep is world he is a top man. I gave dads boss notice last night and said he will bbe off for sometime......

Well dad knws we love him very much and he has been the best dad he could. Pull through dad and keep fighting, we all love you and you are only 51, plenty of life left in you.......

Feeling Ordinary

Well after i made a heap of pies, savory mince and lunches for tomorrow, i felt really funny and got a really bad headache. It was making me dizzy then i started vomitting. I had a panadine forte but it still has not budged. I am glad my DH ducked home to help around the house before he headed off to Melbourne.

So this arvo/tonight i am gunna have a bath and watch tv. Maybe bed early, the kids an sleep with me for company.

Spoke to Aunty Cathy last nigth, gee it hs been ages since we hve had chat i will have to pull my finger out and visit. Actually i have not had contact with much of the family in some time, we have a busy lifestye.

Aunty Heather is down, helping paint pops house. Wonder how they went today. I was heading over that way but ended up on the lounge.

Heading to bathurst in 2 weeks, i cant wait. I love visiting he relo's it has been years since we havemade contact and now every chance we get we try to speak either by phone, email or in person. This year ww have planned to go camping for xmas. it should be interesting. I have 2 weeks holidays but i am not sure about anyone else.

ONE JOB TO ANOTHER

FROM ONE JOB TO ANOTHER. HERE ARE 2 PICS OF MY HUBBIES TRUCK AND HOW HIS JOB HAS CHANGED DRAMATICALLY.

I STILL PICTURE HIM AS A TREE LOPPER AND I THINK HE MISSES HIS WORK MATES. I RECKON HE WILL GO BACK TO THE JOB AGAIN SOME DAY. I CANT BELEIVE HOW MUCH TRAINING AND QUALIFICATIONS HE DONE AS A TREE LOPPER. WHEN HE RESIGNED BE BROUGHT HOME THAT MANY TAFE CERTIFICATES.

NOW HE IS KIND OF HIS OWN BOSS. AND CAN GO AT HIS PACE.

Finding the Time for me - that would be great

Well lately i am finding it hard to get out of bed in the mornings, get through the day and then attend to the kids at home. Im really starting to feel doing everythnig for me and the kids is a little to much. Plus winter doesn't help, not when i have a electric blanky on the bed.

I really miss my husband and hate going to bed alone every night. I understand my HD is out there working to support us more.

For mothers Day i got real spoilt and i really feel i deserved it and was glad my famiy took there time to appreciate exatly what i do.

I think they are lucky because i no i am a very organised person who is loving and caring.

On the odd occassion Mum and dad will have the kids but i try not to ask to much. Deans Sister Kylie has been wonderful in this department and has regularly had the kids.....

Thanks Kylie for helping out i really appreciate what you do for dean and i.

As Miss Charlee is unable to do alot for herself i am a extra busy mum. The lifting is getting heavier and heavier, but i would not change it for the world. I love my family

Anyways enough rabbling on.

This photo was taken 3 weeks ago we had deans family over for the weekend. I really like this picture, i can remember siting down and doing nothing at the time, exactly what i need..

the thing i like about this photo is my happy cheery smile. i am reall fascinated in nice teeth and mine look good...... I actually asked the dentist to put my braces back on but they said i dont need it, my teeth are not going to move much more......

Thank for stopping in and listen to me dribble on.

Little Lady

Miss. Charlee has been unwell again. She had a bad seizure the other night and i managed to cope by myself..... Usually DH home to help but i was able to intervene and do what i had to.

This pics is a recent one of Charlee, gee she is growing up to quick. We had the OT over the other day measuring Charlee for some equipment she already has to change the size of her wheel chair as she is so tall, and has filled it in width and length.

Do you beleive Cooper and her have the same length arm!!!!! She is going to be a tall girl.

Happy mothers Day to me

Well i had the best mothers day anyone could have.......

I finally got spoilt and i felt like i deserved it...

I got breakfast cooked. Crossiants, bacon, eggs and a hot chocy.

The kids had made a few things from school. Cooper hand made a mesh sewing. It looks really cool, feathers and buttons. 2 fridge magnets one so ican write messages on and a note pad.
Cooper took $5.00 to school last week and brought me a gift from the school. Aromatherapy pack. lavender. it would have cost some on a few dollars to donate. i was stoked.

Charlee painted a pot and gave me sme herbs to grow. so i have to buy some dirt and start growing some herbs.

During the week i brought myself a pair of ke high boots and a long cardigan(choc brown).

Then dean thought he would suprise me by taking me down town and allowing me tobuy anything i want. So he lead me to the jewllery shop and i got a 2 peice ring set, with small diamonds. I was so happy as i never really ask for anything or i tend to get them things and i go without...

I am glad i was finally my turn and i had a wonderful day.
Thanks cooper and Charlee mummy loves the presents.
MWHA

Now my mum's turn.
We were suppose to have a picnic lunch but it was raining and wet plus bones kids and her unwell. Oh and Shawn at work. So i brought mum and dad lunch. We had chinese. I got mum some chocolates, and a little stereo system. She is a cool mum and has always been. Hope ya loved your present mum
