Down Day

I have dealt with Chris being gone off and on for so long that you would think it would be just another part of life. Most the time I have no problems with it and I manage and deal and just move forward with whatever it is I need to do. This time around it is really killing me. I've been sick which probably has a lot to do with it, but still. All I want is for him to come home and be here with me. Our four legged creatures who I love to death are driving me up the wall and I am ready to be away from them for a while. Not sure what that is all about either. I guess everything is just driving me crazy and irritating me this go around. Hopefully here before long I will feel better and wont feel this way lol.

As for Chris he is traveling the US in a matter of a week. Ok not the whole US but close. He left Texas Friday and stopped in Oklahoma and then traveled through Kansas into Colorado where he stayed for three days. Then he was shipped off to North Dakota via Wyoming and Montana. He arrived in North Dakota Tuesday morning just be told that he has to be in Arkansas on Monday morning. So hes on the road again. As of an hour ago he was in Bismark North Dakota dropping some stuff off and then he will be headed out again. Long trip for one person to make by themselves, but hes done it before and I am sure that he will do it again. Praying that he makes it through without any problems. Its always nerve racking when he is on the road by himself with nasty weather conditions and winter weather. So lots and lots of prayers for safe travels and some rest.

On another note Sasha is going into the vet in two weeks and I have a feeling that the vet is going to tell us its time to put her down. She is having problems walking up and down the stairs, shes not really eating and shes coughing all the time. I knew the day would come and we would have to say good bye, but you are never really prepared for it. I just dont want to see her suffer any more. So whatever the vet says is what we will do. Nerve racking and stressful but I will get through it. Confederate and Harley are doing well. Confederate is starting to get gray under his chin and on his chest. Its hard to believe that he is 7 years old already. Seems like just yesterday he was a puppy and playing in the water. Harley just turned a year old. she is going in at the same time as Sasha to get De-clawed. She thinks that every piece of furniture is a scratching post for her and we have tried all the sprays and everything that the vet recommended so the claws are coming out. I dont worry about the dogs and her, they pretty much know that she is boss and they just have to deal with it LOL. On Saturday Kasi Sue had Abbigayle! That was exciting! She is such a beautiful little girl. Unfortunately she was rushed to the hospital on monday due to having seizures. The doctors first told them that there was bleeding in her brain so they did an MRI, found out it was not bleeding which meant no swelling to the brain, but it was a misshaped vessel. They Abbigayle on meds and did a CT scan the next day. Then decided to do an angioplazy in order to inject the dye into her system so the doctors could see what was going on better. This came back clear and the vessel was gone. She was moved out of the NICU yesterday, today they took the IV out, but they are still not ready to let her go home. Lots and lots of prayers are needed for this family. Travis is in the military and is home on R and R right now, but he is scheduled to leave again here soon. Lots and lots of prayers for him and his fellow soldiers who are fighting for us. Lots of love to all of you!
