Update on my dad...

Mom and Dad got home from the ER around 1am. They gave my Dad some medicine and told my mom to follow up with his primary physician. So, in about an hour I'm going to give my dad a ride to my mom's work, and they are going to the doctor from there.

Thanks for the prayers! I appreciate it. I'm thinking they might have to up the dose on his anti-seizure meds? We'll see.

Have a great day everyone!

Scary night...

I just had the scare of my life...

I was in my room, playing the Sims 2 (the greatest game EVER) when I heard my Mom yelling my Dad's name really loud. They were both already in bed. I could hear panic in her voice, so I grabbed the phone and ran in there.

My Dad was seizing/choking. It was so terrifying to see my father like that!! I immediately dialed 911, and the dispatcher told me someone was on their way asap.

I ran back in the room with my mom, and my dad had stopped seizing at that point. It was weird... he was kind of like asleep, but his eyes were open. But he was taking huge, gulping breaths.

Within a couple of minutes, the fire fighters had arrived, as well as the ambulance. After taking his vitals and discussing some things with my mom (my dad was a little out of it), they decided it would be okay for my mom to drive him to the hospital herself. They left about fifteen minutes ago...

My heart is still racing and I'm shaking.

He does has epilepsy. He's been having seizures for about 4 years now; they started while he was down in Mexico with Jose. Since he's been on meds for them, he hadn't had a seizure up until last Monday. But, on Monday, he had the seizure on his way to get into his truck after work. By the time the cops found him (he was lying in a ditch!), the seizure was done and over with and he was coming to. My mom (for whatever reason) didn't take him to the doctor.

Anyways... I'm rambling now. I just got off the phone with my oldest sister. She thinks she's going to head over to the hospital. I'll update as soon as I find out anything else. Keep my dad in your thoughts please! I heart you guys!

Lazy weekend...

Isabel has not left the house since Friday night. That must be some kind of record for her!

Now that we're adjusting here at Mom's, I just don't feel compelled to be out and about all day long. I'm pretty content to just hang around here! Isabel is more than happy to be here. I offered to take her places yesterday and this afternoon, and she declined both times.

I'm impressed by myself. The more time I spend here, the less money I'm going to spend! Gas money, shopping money, food money, entertainment money...!

The less money I spent on other stuff will leave me with more money for my addiction...

GYMBOREE!

Don't even ask. I don't know what has gotten into me lately, but I am seriously obsessed/addicted with Gymboree clothing for the girls! I've been learning how the sales work, and I'm amazed at how cheap some of the stuff ends up being! I bought Isabel a pair of size 6 plus jeans for $8.99 with an additional 30% off on Thursday. That's dirt cheap! And the original price on these jeans was $36.50!

I'm stoked over Black Friday. Everything in store is 30% off before noon, and I have an additional 20% off coupon to use.

Okay, okay. Enough about Gymboree! I'm sure you get the picture by now...

Anyway... my suegra's surgery is scheduled for November 17th, I think. I'm nervous. And scared. I've never went through something like this with someone close before. I'll be going with her to the hospital that day, I think. The girls will probably stay with my madrina until my mom gets home. I'm going to ask again for you all to keep her in your prayers!

I'm going to go read some blogs now. You guys take care! Bye!

I've decided to move...

I really, really liked my old blog. But, there was always something about it that just kind of bugged me. I hated being on Wordpress while every single one of my friends was on Blogger. I hated the lack of customization that Wordpress offered me. Add that to the fact that lately, there has been a rash of hateful, anonymous comments being left as well. I've just decided to make that blog private, and more myself over her to Blogger.

So far, I love it. This is great...

As soon as I'm done creating this entry, I'm going to all of your blogs to leave you a comment with where to find me. I'm excited. I've missed you guys.

On the home front, nothing too exciting has happened. Jose is still working his butt off out of town. His goal is to pay off our debt (mainly the car!) and get enough money to use as a downpayment on a house. It sucks being away from him, and I miss him, but I feel this is the best option for us.

Just this last week, me and the girls officially moved back in with my folks. I'm not going to lie, I love it! The girls love it! Jose loves the fact that we're not paying $800/month for a nasty ass apartment any more. I have a few things to do to complete the movie (like get a TV for in the basement!) but things are going great.

My suegra has been diagnosed with ovarian cancer. If you guys could keep her in your prayers that would be awesome. She helped out a TON during the move, and I am very grateful for that! She has surgery the 17th, I believe, so wish her luck!

I guess that will be it for now...

I'll update again later! Take it easy!
