This is the latest happening here. Ted saw his Hematology nurse practitioner on Monday. She said he had bronchitis and wrote a script for an antibiotic....which the bone marrow nurse navigator said he could take. Then when he called the nurse navigator yesterday, she told him she had postponed his all testing that was scheduled for today till next week. Giving him some time to get better. Then he is scheduled to see his cancer doctor after that. Still getting labs every Monday-Wednesday- Friday. To make sure he is in remission.
Tuesday we were both very sick, his bronchitis and my head cold. We called the insurance adjuster to cancel them looking at the roof. But Wednesday that young lady came out and looked at the roof and thankfully the insurance is paying half of the price of a new roof. That was good news for us. See on top of health issues , house issues still come about. I need a vacation :(
Wishing all of you a sweet spring day. XO
Oh yes you do need a vacation! Those little boys are looking very mishevious aren’t they lol, it’s so good to see Ted doing what he loves but it’s a shame you both became sick. Our grand children constantly bring us gifts of cold and flu, we have been lucky this year, but the little ones seem to bring so many bugs home until their immune system gets used to school, at least that’s what we’ve been told, I sure hope you feel better soon, Ted as well.
ReplyDeleteThank you Laurie. I know we try not to even visit with the little ones , especially now with Ted needing to be a-one for a bone marrow transplant. We were healthy all winter too. I think the change in high and low weather conditions doesn't help. Of course I call all kids "cootie-kids" when I see snotty noses. I try not to hug or kiss them but I like to play along on the floor with them. I also think we have been stressed over the roof, the furnace, and mostly Ted's health. I would love a two or three day cruise...just to sleep with the rolling waves. LOL Blessings to you, stay away from the "cooties". xoxo, Susie
DeleteOh I'm so sorry your are both sick. It does seem like we get sick from kids more often than not, even when they don't show symptoms. They are always picking up something from school. Hope Ted heals and is able to get the tests done and keep going. Take care of yourselves...both of you! We're keeping you in our prayers. Sweet hugs, Diane
ReplyDeleteThank you Diane. We were a bit better yesterday evening and today not so hot. LOL. We are coughing a lot. I use drops, Ted uses sprays and we both take Tylenols. The Hematology nurse said they will keep Ted in remission...that is a comfort to me. Hey, I think I may have to trim his hair soon. :) Blessings, xoxo, Susie
DeleteGood morning! We are in the country! Arrived late last night. I set my alarm for 7:30 and just got up and turned the coffee on before I opened up my iPad to see if you had news. Praise God for antibiotics! Those sweet ‘cooties’ are adorable!
ReplyDeleteI’m about to swig a cup of coffee and then head down to Dean and Sherry’s. I’ll go with them on morning critter duty as there are so many new animals here. New routines. Still praying for you and Ted!
What a relief the insurance company will cover half the cost of the roof. Praying for peace and strength for you both as well as a return to good health. Love you, Susie Q!
Linda, We just keep plugging along. I am praying the antibiotics help Ted thru this quickly. Thank you for your wonderful prayers. Glad you get to be at the ranch. Blessings to you and LD, xoxo,love you both, Susie
DeleteOh! :) cute little guys!
ReplyDeleteSandi, That's how they lure us in...being cute and all. :):) Blessings, xoxo, Susie
DeleteLuke looks like he is about to swing on the chandelier! I had forgotten how inquisitive and active my boys used to be. I hope you and Ted get over your congestion quickly.
ReplyDeleteKaren, I truly believe that is exactly what Luke would have tried had Lynzie not caught the boys. Poor girl, can't relax. LOL. I sure remember those days. I had four girls, they all climb. LOL. Blessings to you, it's getting warmer dear friend,.xoxo, Susie
DeleteLOL! You have your hands full! WOW! Annster's Domain
ReplyDeleteLOL. It's my granddaughter Lynzie who has her hands full. I honestly like playing with the boys, but do not think I could ever keep up with them. Don't you think Luke is spying the chandelier? Blessings, xoxo, Susie
DeleteLol...boys just seem to be lots more dare-devil than little girls, at least there is never a dull moment.
ReplyDeleteSorry to hear you and Ted are not feeling well, sending healing wishes your way.
The insurance company paid for just half a roof of ours, when a hailstorm came through three years ago, the roof was only four years old at the time :(
Hoping your days are less stressful, seems like there is always something needing our attention :)
Hugs,
~Jo
Jo, I am almost ready for apartment life...let someone else do all the re[pairs and work. LOL. The boys are truly a handful for my granddaughter.
DeleteJo, I was thrilled the insurance company decided to help out. Blessings to you, xoxo, Susie
Boys will be boys, I know we had three, always full of surprises.
ReplyDeleteSorry you both are not feeling well, thoughts and prayers, spring colds are terrible! prayers too, that your dh gets a good report.
Blessings,
Sue
Thank you Sue. I am so thankful for your prayers. Once I had to go down two doors to a neighbor's, our daughter Karen had head stuck in his porch banisters. It's girls too...kids will keep us hopping. Blessings to you and yours, xoxo, Susie
DeleteAren't little boys wonderful! Never a dull moment. And they sure keep their guardian angels busy.
ReplyDeleteYes, the house does not wait patiently when something goes wrong, even in the midst of needing to focus entirely on your health. Both of you take care and get over your respiratory problems. Build your strength for the next step of this journey. One that when Ted is safely through it will give both of you the chance for a vacation.
Thank you Dewena. We are doing our best to get over this. I am looking forward to the transplant being down. I edgy about it...but it needs to happen.
DeleteOh the boys, they keep going and going and going...you know just like that bunny. Blessings to you and yours, xoxo, Susie
The main thing is that you all get well soon so Ted can continue on. The rest of the world can wait -- this is more important.
ReplyDeleteOh Honey I know...it's been a worry...well for me. The drs. have promised to keep Ted in remission. I trust the Bone marrow people, we have to don't we? Blessings to you and yours, xoxo, Susie
DeleteBless your heart, you do need a vacation. So sorry to hear you are both sick with this old crud. Prayers you both feel better soon. kids are something else. Love the pics. I know what you mean about house repairs. If it's not one thing it's another. You take care of yourself and try to rest but if you're like me that doesn't come easy. lol Love you sweet friend and lots of hugs and Prayers. xoxo
ReplyDeleteThank you Susie. Your prayers and wishes mean so much to us. We are going to get thru this stuff and get that transplant. I 've got to get this man well. Hope things are good for you. I hope you can find joy in listening to the birds singing this spring and summer. Blessings to you , truly love you , xoxo, Susie
DeleteAdorable little boys Susie...those faces!!! Such a roller coaster for you still....prayers and hugs for the upcoming procedure!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much Betsy. I appreciate your prayers so much. We just have to get well quickly if we can. I know next week will be very informative . Blessings to you and yours, xoxo, Susie
DeleteCan't trust boys for one second.
ReplyDeleteHey Adam, are you one of them ? LOL Blessings, xoxo, Susie
DeleteCute boys! My grandkids are like a little bunch of monkeys...climbing and swinging on everything!
ReplyDeleteGlad the testing can wait until you two are feeling better!
Thank you Linda. I love all the grandkids to pieces. Some times they scare me because they don't know some things can hurt them. Luke looks to be the most daring. Blessings for a fun filled weekend. xoxo, Susie
DeleteOur youngest grandson that we live with was/is so mischievous too. Always feel that I can’t quite trust him! So sorry you both were sick. We’ve had a pretty healthy winter but recently the grandkids (the three here) have been sick with fevers, colds and upset stomach. No fun for them and the parents are exhausted!! Half the cost for a new roof, that’s a huge blessing! Life goes on, nothing stops even when it’s tough going....I hope you get the vacation of your dreams. And soon! God bless you ❤️
ReplyDeleteDoris, You know what it's like with your young grandson...that how Lynzie's boys are too. I know with all the children sick, the parents are exhausted. I am wore out and it's just Ted and I. Blessings to you and all yours, xoxo, Susie
DeleteOh Susie, having to deal with house issues on top of it all, I'm so sorry. Bronchitis is awful, and I've had it a couple of times myself. I hope you guys feel better. Oh, those boys are so cute, and boys sure do get into mischief sometimes, don't they? I bet it felt good for Ted to get back to his log work.
ReplyDeleteFeel better, Susie. And I hope you can take a little vacation soon. That will be nice after all you've been through.
love, ~Sheri
Thank you Sheri. We laugh at the boys but I hold my breath at times. So scary with Luke on the table . Their table is one of those high things with tall stool seating...I really hate that style. Not for older people and now I am thinking not for young kids. LOL Sheri, I would a fun sunny day on the porch. Blessings to you. Love you, xoxo, Susie
DeleteOh no! Sorry that you have both been sick. That’s no good.
ReplyDeleteYes, I can definitely see that thought bubble above the little one’s head. Ha! Bet they keep their mama hopping!
Vee, Thank you. I hope Ted and I get thru the worse of this cold stuff quickly. We think Lynzie may have to take the boys to the bathroom with her. LOL. Hope you are doing well and getting nicer weather. Blessings, xoxo, Susie
DeleteI'm sorry you have been sick - no fun!
ReplyDeleteI am laughing about the "boys". My daughter is due in June and it's another boy. Andy is already an adorable scamp and I can just imagine the trouble those boys will get into.
Carol, Thank you. Be sure to tell your daughter to send you pictures when she catch her boys . LOL. Luke will be two this month and Max will be 3 yrs, and 4 months at that time. Lynzie and her husband wanted their children close in age to grow together. I say that is twins the hard way. :) Blessings, xoxo, Susie
DeleteI know, Susie...when it rains it pours sometimes. Glad you're getting half pd on your insurance for the roof...
ReplyDeleteThe little boys....so cute...I have 3 great=grandboys and what one doesn't think of, the others do....lol
So hoping your sweetheart stays in remission forever...xoxo
Thank you dear BJ. It's hard to think at times.
DeleteYou are right about the boys. When Layla , their cousin is with them, it's a bit better. Blessings, xoxo, love,Susie
Glad the insurance company is stepping up and helping to replace the roof. I am sorry Ted is having to wait another week to start the next process. He will get better and be stronger so I guess patience is the name of the game. Still keeping the prayers going.
ReplyDeleteHugs,
Happy Weekend,
Kris
Thank you so much Kris. My patience never was much good. LOL. I am anxious and yet... You know honey. I have a lot of cleaning to do today. I better get moving. Blessings to you, love, xoxo, Susie
DeleteWhat a cute collection of pics. Nothing cuter than kids doing cute things. Hope you all are feeling better. Sending hugs and prayers your way.
ReplyDeleteThank you Theresa. Your prayers are welcomed. Oh those little boys worry me. LOL Blessings, xoxo, Susie
DeleteYou do need a vacation. I wish you could come to New York. Keeping you and Teddy in my prayers!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much Carol. I thought of you the time we were in new York for a few days. It would be so fun to meet up. My vacation are dreams now. Blessings to you, stay strong and hope you are recovering nicely. xoxo, Susie
DeleteOh Susie, I’m so sorry you both got sick- I too am leery when the little ones come to visit. The poor things their so susceptible to all kinds of diseases being in school nd daycare!! But fortunately they bounce back quite easily. Where we are a different story. My prayers continue for you both. I can’t imagine how difficult this is for you both.
ReplyDeleteBlessings
Gert
Thank you Gert, for the wonderful prayers. Always grateful for them. You are right we are into the 2nd week and just starting to feel better...but still coughing. Stay well sweet friend, xoxo,love, Susie
DeleteOh Susie, so much on your plate right now with sickness and doctors and appointments..etc.etc. But what a blessing those little guys are....so adorable. Keeping you in our thoughts and prayers. Hugs.
ReplyDeleteThank you Wanda. We are so thankful for the prayers and well wishes. Sending them to you and your husband too. The little guys keep us moving. LOL. Blessings, xoxo, love, Susie
DeleteSusie I'm sorry to hear you're both sick! I hope you both are feeling better. Sending hugs and well wishes!

ReplyDeleteThank you Betty, and as you know little guys are a handful at times. :) They make us laugh and catch our breath. Blessings, xoxo, Susie
Deletehope, you and yours feeling better...
ReplyDeletehave a great day
Tanza, thank you and blessings to you and yours, xoxo, Susie
DeleteSusie, I remember you telling me that your Mom LOVED Purple! Did she have Purple in her home? I don't have any Purple in my home, but at Eastertime I have a few things to put out. It's such a stunning color, isn't it?
ReplyDeleteI'm still saying prayers for Ted and you, and wishing you both good April days.
love, ~Sheri
Sheri, Mom's bedroom was lavender and she had purple roses on some sheets and curtains. Thank you sweet girl for your prayers and well wishes, they mean so much to us. Blessings to you dear friend, xoxo,love, Susie
DeleteYes, you need a vacation! Prayers as you navigate through this journey. Praying that all with me well enough for your sweetie to finish the course and move beyond it!
ReplyDeleteThank you Bonnie. We are grateful for all the prayers. Sending you good wishes too. Blessings, xoxo, Susie
DeleteGlad to hear that Teddy is doing better, and even feeling up to running the wood splitter! I pray that both of you get well from this dose of sickness! Hoping also that you are enjoying lovely spring days :)
ReplyDeleteThank you for the prayers. It means a lot to us. We are slowly improving with this illness. Ted sees the bone marrow folks tomorrow. Blessings, xoxo, Susie
Deleteoooh boys will be boys...i had 2 and they kept me on my toes!!!
ReplyDeletegood news about teddy, always wishing him the best!!
