Megan's got 47

Today Megan was visited by her Aunt MeMe, Will, Nana and Pop Pop.
When Megan went for a walk yesterday in the hospital she saw a HUGE giraffe in the window of the gift shop.....today Pop Pop surprised her with it and lifted her spirits, she has been doing well all afternoon and we just got back from a chest x-ray....please pray things will continue to get better and Megan can come home soon.

Megan is in the hospital going on day 6....she has pneumonia and is miserable.
She cannot keep up her o2. She is sitting anywhere between 82 and 90....but no higher. The hospital staff has tried EVERYTHING....it looks like we will be here until it works itself out.
They were worried that maybe she couldn't keep her o2 up because she had heart issues. Her bp was high and her heart rate was high. They came in and did an EKG but it was normal. They also came tonight to do an Echo and they said all seemed ok but would have a resident review and get back to us.
We missed Thanksgiving and now it looks like we will miss the Rockettes on Sunday. Please keep Megan in your prayers. We are all tired!

HAPPY 5TH BIRTHDAY MY BEAUTIFUL PRINCESS!!!!
EVERYDAY you amaze me, EVERYDAY I am astonished at how much you teach me and others....you make LOVE easy. So on this, your 5th birthday, I somehow seem to love you even more! I am happy to see you grow into an even more incredible person then you already are.
I LOVE YOU!

I promise to come back to blogging after I get out of my funk!
I promise to be a better commenter to all my friends out there!
I promise not to be resentful to whichever president gets elected!
I promise!

Grandmom passed away on Saturday unexpectedly and we are all heart broken.
When Megan was born there was no question that when I had to go back to work Grandmom was going to watch her. For 2 years Grandmom did all her therapies and made her the avid food lover she is today.
Megan and Grandmom had a special bond that can never be broken.
This is so hard for my family.
Please keep us in your prayers.




Found this from a year ago
Joey and Grandmom

So this morning we spent painting our pumpkins. I told the girls last night before bed and so this morning they came to wake me and remind me at 7:00am. Yesterday we had to buy new paint because my girls like to paint and waste it.

So this morning was no differnet. I use old egg boxes for the paint. It makes it easier to mix the paint and since we buy a dozen and a half size eggs I can cut it in half and give each girl their own paint tray.

They covered their pumpkins in tons of paint enough to keep them warm in this cold chilly weather. We will carve our big pumpkins next week a few days before Halloween while we watch Charlie Brown's "The Great Pumpkin"...


Here is a full table view. If you notice one of our big pumpkins in the background. I picked it out yesterday and it was not vertical like that, I swear, LOL....Joe, my husband can carve that one.

We had a busy day yesterday so I got no time here on the computer.
I took the girls to Peddler's Village today since Megan had off of school.
We walked around, went to the toy shop, had lunch, went to pick out big pumpkins and then came home and started a fire in the fireplace and watched Hocus Pocus.
Then of course the girls went to bed and we watched our Phillies come out on top in game 1 of the World Series....my day was definetly better.

I dare you to watch.

I care about all of my children's future and this special on 20/20 sheds truth on today's problems....please take the time to watch.

I was wrong. The rally was just Cindy McCain and Rudy Guilianni (not worth my time, LOL) but instead I was able to pick up Renee and Kennedy to take them to the airport, so to me that was so much better.

As for my day....thank goodness it is over. It was rough. I dropped my poor girl today off my back at her field trip, I forgot my camera and my son and his friends broke my back door....sad sad sad.

Here is one picture I got today.

Tomorrow will be a more exciting post since we have a Halloween Party, Megan's Field Trip and a potential opportunity to meet John McCain and Sarah Palin. Hope you all had a nice weekend!
