Bubby called yesterday because he'd seen the Bookmobile coming toward my house. He wanted to know if they'd had to call it out to pick up our library books because they wouldn't all fit in our car.
Big dummy! :0)

Monkey's home!
Monkey came home Tuesday night and spent Wednesday watching "Cinderella" surrounded by her brothers and parents. (And Aunt Bucky, too, because I just had to see my sweetie for a few minutes!) Aardvark declared to his mom that he is never leaving home, even when he's grown. Do you think maybe he was happy to be back with his family?
She was supposed to come home with IV antibiotics for two weeks but didn't have to. She can't go back to school or church for two weeks and has to take another six weeks or so of potent oral antibiotics, but...she's home.
God is bigger than a super bug!

Turning a corner?
Monkey was flown to a children's hospital yesterday. She had lost function in her left lung, the pneumonia was spreading, the fever was high, the infection was bad, the white blood cell count was up...
She had surgery today to debride her lung and insert a chest tube to drain the fluid from her chest cavity. Came through it like the champ she is. She experienced immediate relief and was eating dinner when I talked to her daddy earlier. Perhaps now they can all rest easier. (All God's children say "Amen!")
Aardvark is feeling better and back to being a clown. He has this trick he can do with one eye that's gross but funny, and he's been chasing me around all evening with it. He's sore at me because I'm making him take his antibiotic and a cold/cough medicine, though. So I let him eat two bowls of Boo Berry and three bites of pizza for dinner. I'm the world's best auntie.
Larry, Curly Sue and Moe are their regular sweet selves except that Moe woke up with a very sore throat this morning. Thinking he might have picked up strep, I immediately took him to the doctor but the culture was negative. Must be the stupid goldenrod again.
All six of us walk in an American Cancer Society fundraiser tomorrow in memory of Grammie. She'll have been gone exactly four months. Hard to believe that after that amount of time, you still find yourself picking up the phone to tell her something. Geddy lost another co-worker to cancer a few days ago and got word that another work-related friend has been given six months before cancer takes her, too. So imagine our elation when a dear lady we know was declared in remission from lymphoma last night!
I now intend to drag my tired backside to the bed, from whence I shall watch the Red Sox drub the Indians. Away, away!

Monkey's not better
She's still in the hospital. Doctor is incompetent and there is talk of moving her to a children's hospital. Doctor says she will make sure they never use her practice again if they get a second opinion against her wishes. Nasty woman, big mess.
Her 6 yo brother Aardvark is here -- has been since Saturday -- good as gold but really missing his mom and dad and brother and sister. Baby brother Jackrabbit is at my parents'.
Geddy has a kidney stone that has not yet passed. It was a full weekend.
Pray for Monkey and all who love her if you are so inclined. She has plenty of stuffed animals, cards, balloons and Disney princess lip gloss, but good thoughts are desperately needed.
