I hope to get some more posts up today. It is still crazy here. Captain had a problem that seems to have fixed itself - one doctor thinks it was an infection and the other doc thinks he just had a bad cold. Pops thinks they are both full of it. The classmates think he had both but they say his lungs and heart sound fine now.
All I know is that I am completely exhausted - too much work at work, too much work at school and too much work trying to keep up with this extended family.
Stubby will be home Sunday after an extended stay in New York. As soon as he heard that Pops and Captain were having problems he adjusted he plans to come home. I don't think he knew how much they depended on him,
More posts later - I tell you about Mr. Nerd's Christmas present from Liz...talk about growing up.

On April 12 of this year we lost a very special friend. Captain, who had recent heart surgery, died of a aneurysm. He was preparing the meats for a cookout we had planned later.
He and Pops visited their newest 'grandkids', Debby's babies (see previous post).
Pops said they were discussing how much food to prepare when Captain took a seat at the kitchen table complaining of a headache. He was dead in seconds. The paramedics tried for ten minutes on site and part of the way to the hospital before pronouncing him.
We were all devastated.
On Friday after the funeral Debby's little boy underwent surgery to repair a heart valve. Everything went fine and he is acting normal. We just got him home for the first time a week ago. The classmates took a week's vacation time to help keep an eye on him.
Some vacation - they've been working 12 hour shifts and are extremely tired (and crabby).
On April 20th Pops had some sort of event with his heart. Took two days to get it to beat nice and steady. Pops thinks he had an anxiety attack because Momtoo was having problems.
That afternoon, after Pops was declared alive, Momtoo had a mild seizure and the doctors think a mild stroke. This is turn caused Mom to freak out. For twenty-four hours, Pops, Mom and Momtoo shared a hospital room.
The nurses were so glad when Mom was released and Momtoo was moved to the rehab wing. Momtoo is fine and learning how to use her left hand and arm again. Pops pacemaker is firing once or twice a day - the doctors are still not sure what is wrong.
It is so weird when Pops is giving someone a Drive-By-Fuck and his pacemaker beeps. Does not slow him down but sure does freak out Moms and whomever he is fucking.
William was diagnosed with skin cancer but it turned out to be benign.
Stubby fell out of a tree (a great story) and broke his 'good' leg and a couple of fingers. He is really good at hopping one-legged on his bionic leg (Lisa says it is really a turn on when he has a hard on).
Our semester and project ended May 15th. Lisa disappeared for a few days with Stubby. We thought they went on vacation but Lisa had her reproductive parts removed. She had possible cancerous growths so she had them remove everything.
Her test results from yesterday shows she is cancer free. She refused to let anyone know because of all the turmoil in the last few weeks. She didn't even tell Stubby until they were wheeling her into surgery and forbid him from calling us.
Everyone is still bitching at her for that.
In mid March I started feeling weird and Momtoo thought I might be pregnant. I'll give no details but on April 24 I miscarried. It was on that day when I realized how much I was looking forward to being a mother.
I am still recovering but sooner or later I will discuss it.
So there you go - life gets in the way. I'll be back soon.
