Update on our Family

Mom had knee surgery on Wednesday. It ended being a full knee replacement plus they added some bone. I'm not sure how mom was even functioning. She has always been on the go and helping other people. I know these next few months are going to be difficult for her. The doctor feels good about her progress. We were hoping to bring her home this weekend, but the surgery was so intensive that she is going to have to go to a rehab center. It looks like she may be at a rehab center for several weeks. The decision of what rehab center and where is in the hands of the insurance company. I've decided that I'm about tired of insurance plans. You can only pray that you have the right plan to pay for all of the expenses.

While mom is recuperating I have become the official dogsitter. My niece, Michelle and her husband, are helping. I'm so glad that they are here and are so helpful. Bailey finally had something to do with me last night. The dogs really miss mother. As pathetic as it sounds, I may have to load the dogs up and go for a ride. They seem to sense that mother may not be there for a while.

Great news!! Lacey took her insurance test today and passed. We are so excited for her. Hearing that great news sure did help to brighten the day.

More Great News!! Logan went to a competition this weekend for machinist skills. He took state. We are thrilled. In June, he will attend Nationals in Kansas City. It is a great experience for him.
