Fun Stuff

I am horrible at this blogging stuff.  Actually I have NOTHING to blog about. 

No kids to blog about or interesting vacations because all we do is work. 

But we were able to go last Friday and watch our SIL, Julie do her first Highland dancing performance at the David Barclay Memorial. She is on the far right and did awesome! You'd think she's been doing this forever but she's only been receiving lessons for a few months.  I love that Jon's family is so into their Scottish heritage.  Jon, his brother Andrew, and his dad are all receiving lessons to learn to play the bagpipes.  Something that Jon has wanted to do before I even met him.

Diabetes Walk- Sept 25, 2010

Jon's ready to go!

Our team: "Dew it for Diabetes"

The walk was at the This Is The Place Park this year and we had a pretty good turn out for our team.  Thanks everyone who donated and participated.

More funerals & more babies...

Well, we've had an eventful year... and it's only half over. In the early morning of June 13th, Jon's grandma passed away and was reunited with her husband who passed away April 23rd. Her funeral was June 19th and all the grandsons wore kilts to honor their Scottish heritage. They will both be greatly missed. We are honored to be a part of such a great family.

Then, on June 16th we welcomed a new member to the DeMille family.  Matthew Brian was born weighing 9 lb 3 oz and was 23 inches long. Congratulations to Brian, Kristin, and Olivia for the new addition to their household!

More hospital fun...

I was finally discharged on May 20th! But not without complications arising first. It was discovered that I had developed a blood clot in my right arm from the PICC line. So on May 15th, the old PICC was pulled and a new one was put in my left arm. Then after a few pulmonary tests, it was determined that I had a small blood clot in my lung also. This extended my hospital stay an extra 5 days because I had to be on a continuous heparin drip during that time. I was also put on an oral anticoagulant that I get to take at home for approximately 6 months.

My new PICC line

On a happier note, I got to finally meet Skyler's daughter, Keeley (13 months).  It was brief and I'm sure unknown people and the hospital environment terrified her. Skyler is trying to work out an arrangement where he'll be able to spend more time with her.  We hope it will work out.

So I'm currently at home and on the mend. Unfortunately, my recovery is far from over but I think there's small improvements everyday.  My pain is hard to control and I'm still weak so I don't exactly know when I'll return to work.  Hopefully sooner than later.  I actually enjoy working and I know that the hospital bills will be coming all too soon.  Thank you to everyone for your support.  I have a wonderful support system and couldn't have done it without you.
