2010 is rolling on...

I just read my last blog back...and it makes me swoon and become very tired LOL. Wow...life has just lost it's mind in 2010. Since that last blog...

Josh has a second surgery and he reports to us his Dr.s basically force him to have if by threatening to not treat him after he is released from the hospital. Yikes! The surgery is to remove the left Pleural Sack which surrounds the left lung. The reason is because he will not stop draining form the transplant. Draining like a liter a day...he had the surgery...and he kept draining. Damn.

We went to Hawaii for two whole weeks! Ahh....fun and sun in one of my favorite places on Earth...while Josh remains in the hospital and we still can't see him because after Heather got sick for round two....I got sick for round two. We couldn't be there for the surgery...still couldn't see Josh...I'm pissed. We relaxed...missed people...enjoyed each other...and did...basically...nothing...for a change. I got a new tattoo which is colorful, bright, and done by the same guy I got one from the last time I got ink in Kihei. But as nice as it was...the stress just wouldn't completely go away for me.

I have a birthday, we go and get back from Hawaii, Heather and I have an anniversary, and Josh has a third surgery...this time to remove the right pleural sack. Finally...he stopped draining...thank God!...it's about time. Still couldn't go to see him...I could bite nails in half....but he is finally healing...and he gets out. Harmony has a birthday...and I make an appointment to take my first test for my marriage and family therapy license.

Suddenly I am not feeling well...and I find a funny looking spot on my left shoulder...I go to an urgent care...I am starting to break out across my shoulder...and then it spreads to my back, neck, head, and face...I go to my work and asked them what do you want me to do? They say go to your Dr and get a note....OK. Everybody tells me I have shingles....GREAT!...and they don't know what the rest of the rash is...so here is a antibacterial...and an antibiotic...manOman...

Heather goes in for the amnio and sonogram and I go with her. Scary...but got her done...found out we are having...a boy!!! WooHoo!!!...a week or two later we find out that he is healthy and doing well...no bad stuff...Yeah!!!

Sarah says goodbye to the only daycare/preschool that she has ever known. Sarah has attended Delta College's Child Development Center since she was 3 months old. She also ended her time being watched at her friend Bella's house...and said goodbye to her beloved teachers.

On a good note we finally....FINALLY....get to see Josh and Bree! We go to them and visit at their apartment while we are picking up Jacob to bring him home after helping them out for a while...again. Yeah!

Heather meets Dr. #2....strike 2. Dang it.

I take my test...nervous...anxious...feeling unprepared even though I have been studying like crazy...and...I....fail....argh!!! I get through most of the test but do not get to the last 2 questions...I miss it by 7 questions total. Dang it! But God has a plan.

One of my oldest and best friends...writes me on Facebook and says...we are putting together a benefit concert for Josh....WooHoo!!!...and we want you to play....all right!...and headlining is your favorite guitarist Phil Keaggy....um....woah!....no way!...are you kidding me?!?!?....and there's one more thing...you get to play a jam with him at the end of the show...OK....now you're just messing with me LOL...I knew it....you had me going until that last part....play with Phil Keaggy LOLOL...yeah...right....No...Really....It will be in a 1,600 seat theater in Monterey...I sent him the recording of the song you wrote for Josh...no you didn't...He likes it...huh?....did you just say that Phil Keaggy has heard my music?....my playing?....AND he likes it??? um...I don't know what to say....Welp he is contributing to the cause as well...made a donation...WHAT?!?....woah...um...I just frankly don't know what to say...thanks?...Thanks! Woah....

Heather meets Dr. #3....finally someone that she can do this with! Yeah!!!

We go to Pismo for the 4th...have a great day...and a great visit with friends...except for a bottle rocket which came within inches of clipping Heather and Sarah while on the beach during fireworks...YIKES...

Next up...Sarah's birthday party...tomorrow...and Monday after next she starts kindergarten...gig is in September....the 16th....the Thursday right before the start of the Monterey Jazz Festival...woof! LOL...
