GREAT NEWS!!!
My grandpa had his surgery and is doing ok. He had a pocket of infection pressing against the right side of his heart causing it to not work properly. That was what was causing the chest pains. He is still in ICU in Louisville, but my grandma said he is sitting up eating and didn't realize he had had the surgery. The doctors are still keeping him sedated. I am just so thankful. Prayers have definitely been answered.

Well, what a week! Yesterday was very eventful. I totally forgot that Corey had an orthodontist appointment. Had he not remembered, we wouldn't have made it. He will get 2 more backets on next time. After football practice that same night, he broke his wire again. I will try to take him early next week.
My grandpa was taken to the emergency room. They thought he might have pneumonia but it turned out to be a pocket of fluid under his heart. They sent him on to Audubon Hospital in Louisville. Then more bad news. The doctor said it could be one of three things: infection, a leaking aeorta(I don't think I spelled that correctly), or blood. They won't know for sure unless they do surgery. The doctor was not very hopeful about surgery. He said if he did the surgery there was a great chance that he wouldn't make it off the table. But without the surgery the prognosis is not good either. So, he has a decision to make. He said if something happened he was ready to go but he didn't want to leave the little ones. That just kills me. I want to cry every time I think of that. He is supposed to decide by tomorrow. If he chooses surgery, it is supposed to be on Monday. Either choice doesn't look good, but anything can happen with God involved.
Tomorrow is Chance's 11th birthday. I have ordered a cake and he is having a couple of friends over.

Kendall has not taken a nap all day long. She is still going strong and it is 4:10. Ms. Lynda said she was good even though she hadn't slept which I was thankful for. She has now learned the sound of the back door closing. She knows someone is coming in or going out. And if they are going out, she wants to go. She is also telling everyone Bye, Bye.
My student teacher is doing good. She has really been helping me out by grading papers. I think she is going to start teaching one class next week. Yeah!
I have Kendall's Halloween costume ready. She is going to be a fairy princess. I made her a tutu which is adorable. I can't wait. Chance and Corey are still undecided to whether they are dressing up.

Friday night Chance, Corey, and I stayed all night at school for a testing reward. We took the kids bowling from 11-1. They also played several games, ate pizza, and had a good time. I managed to get about 1 1/2 to 2 hours of sleep that night. Corey played ball the next day but he did well. He scored one touchdown and completed several passes. It really hit me about 2:30 yesterday afternoon. I was driving home and the sun was shining in. I finally got to nap at around 5:00 for about 1 1/2 hours.
Chris has only been home 2 nights for the past week. He went to Mountaineer on Sun. then back home Wed. and Thurs. He left to go back again on Fri. and should be home tonight within the hour. I'll be glad!
Kendall is growing. She now almost has 5 teeth in. She likes to eat just about anything. Any type of bread seems to be her favorite.
Corey made straight A's on his report card and Chance made all A's except for one B in Reading. I was proud of them both.
My student teacher comes tomorrow. It will be nice to have an extra set of hands to help out. I know I have a small class(12) but it is always nice for someone else to help you.

It is Fall Break. It is now almost over. We have enjoyed every minute of it but it seems to have flown by. The boys have been off from football all week also which was an added bonus. My brother and his fiance were home last weekend. We did a few things together. We all took a trip to Lake Cumberland State Park. My brother has a set of disc golf so he took my boys and they played. They all seemed to enjoy it.
Patrick, Chris' cousin, took the boys to play real golf on Wed. They really liked it. They are begging to go again. Kendall and I have just hung out at home, took a couple of trips to Wal-Mart, and not much else. She is cutting two upper teeth at one time. Oooowww!
I did a little crafting this week. I made some hairbows and Kendall a tutu for her Halloween costume. I made the hairbows and a few more tutus to sell in my mom's booth at Downtown Days today. I sold almost $20.00 worth of hairbows but no tutus. I think I will take them to school, maybe someone will want them for their daughters or granddaughters. If not, Kendall will have several to play dress up in later on.
