Busy Busy

Life at the Fletcher's house needless to say has been very busy for me at least. Charlie had his surgery on Tuesday to get his tonsils removed and did Ok wish he could of done better but ya know the older you get the hard it is on you and it's funny to say that because we are only 32 but still that's getting up there. They did have a hard time in surgery with him first his tongue was too big, then his tonsils were so infected that it was really bad then she had to stop surgery to bring his blood pressure back up because it went from being 132/96 to 80/40 really quick which is really bad. Then they gave him to much morphine which made him really sick and of course we had to get the stupid nurse which only aggravated me even more in the situation so needless to say I'm happy that is over. To add to the mess that day Taylor got sent home from Daycare so my mom had to leave work take her so I could go back and be with him so I was very tired on Tuesday. Today the swelling in his tongue has gone down so that is a good thing hopefully he will be on his feet soon. Maybe his sleep apena will be gone also with all of this which would be a great blessing for both of us. The girls have been really good thru the whole thing. Taylor was so cute when she saw his hand she told him that he had to go the hospital to get blood in his hand and then they put two wrists on him which she was meaning braclets but it was cute. Abbie told her teachers that Daddy was having his throat cut because he has bad stuff in there so it was funny to hear their different opions of the whole thing. I'm doing fine just tired :) Not sleeping well because he can't sleep in the bed right now because he has a hard time breathing so I'm not sleeping well plus working and really doing everything on my own which even though it doesn't seem like he did much I guess he really did. Thanks for praying for us and continue because the longer this drags out the harder it is on me; you know it's hard enough to take care of 3 girls now I'm taking care of a grown man which is even harder because he's grumpy so like Auntie said I really have 4 kids right now :) but I wouldn't change a thing. I have new pictures and I'll try to post them tomorrow Talk to y'all later.

Pray warrior

Alzhimers, I never wanted to hear that word again about anyone in our family but I knew I would not be able to avoid it. I knew that Grandma showed signs of it but really didn't believe it till I heard mom tell me over the phone that yes Grandma has Alzhimers. I waited till the next day and talked with Grandma but couldn't help and wonder how much longer I will be able to do this but the thing that got me really worried is that she's one of my pray warriors. Whenever my life falls apart I know to call Grandma and she stops what she is doing and prays she is always praying for one of us if not all of us at some point during her day. I hope that this nasty disease doesn't bother her till my kids get to know her better I know that sounds selfish but I want my kids to enjoy Grandma as much as I have and will continue to do. Just like Grandma said to me on the phone and I'm sure is saying to everyone else we have to cherish each day that we have with each other. So let's have more family get togethers and more family time because you never know what will happen.

Update

Hello all just wanted to update you on Katelynn's condition...she is doing much better. We took her for a chest xray and found out that she does have bronchitis which is ok now we know how to treat it. Everyone else is battling the cold that we all get when we live in Florida; you know the one where your running the heat for 3 days then you have to turn on the air so I'm trying to head off everyon else getting sick. Abbie is doing well she is very proud of herself she won a race that they had in her class so she is now the fastest girl in her class. Still trying to figure out how to get her to like doing school work and working on her letters. She is so smart but she get's bored real easy so when we are trying to work with her she deliberately frustrates us so we don't want to do it anymore, so in a way yes I've been outsmarted by a four year old. Taylor is the mother hen of the whole group which is really funny. She tries to take care of all of us. She also reminds Abbie constantly that she is not the boss of her and not to tell her what to do which is really amusing to watch her tell Abbie that. Charlie's birthday is on Saturday, so mom is going to watch the girls for us so I can take Charlie out to eat with out the kids. He says that's the only thing he really misses is being able to go out to eat and actually eat without threatening someone ( if you know what I mean). Hope everyone is doing well Love Ya

Katelynn

Well I don't now but it seems lately when I post it is just nothing happy. Please pray for little Katelynn, she has been very sick and they can not figure out what is wrong with her. She has had a bad cough with some chest wheezing now for about 6 weeks. Charlie took her to the dr on Friday and he put her on a steroid and nebuliazer treatments well they aren't working. So today he ordered a chest x ray hoping to figure out what is wrong with. It's hard when you know they are struggling to breathe and they can't tell you what is wrong. On top of that Abbie and Taylor are now getting sick due to the weird weather we keep having. So please just pray that God will touch our girls and heal them. Love Erin

Randomness

Just some pictures of the girls growing up. The first one is of their new playet that Charlie's parent's bought them for Christmas. The gingerbread house they made with Grammie one night and they were so proud of it, and then the one with all three of them is us getting ready to go somewhere. I can't believe how big they are getting. This morning was a frustrating morning and my loving kind husband that he is says aren't you getting a little loud and bossy? Of course in my head I'm the one that has been getting up at 530am so everyone can have lunch, clothes laid out and breakfast made including him; it's Friday and I'm tired and ready for the week to be over. So I took a step back and said to myself they will only be this little for a season then they will be gone so shut up and deal with it. I've been praying and I am asking for all of you to please pray I am going to try to get a job with the school system as a secretary. I have my application in for one right now so hopefully I will get a call sometime about it. I love my job that I'm in now but I need something that is more flexible so I can be with the girls if I need to. Abbie will be starting school well VPK next year then kindergarten and I want to be able to be off with her on her breaks and what not. I don't want to be the mom that always ships her kids off to the baby sitter or daycare. So I'm just praying about it if it isn't supposed to happen then well I guess I'll stay put and enjoy my job and try to do with her class as I can. Please keep praying for Charlie's job so far they haven't laid him off so that is a good sign. One day he would love to go and work for the Sheriff's department in the jail so I just pray one day he can do what he wants to do. I know this sort of sounds like a downer but we really are doing well and everyone is happy just one of those mornings that all it does is make you thik. Love and miss everyone!!!!

Bead is out

Just wanted to thank everyone for praying Dr. Milstead was able to get the bead out of her nose yesterday with out having to do surgery. She just numb her nose a little, blew some air up her nose and then was able to grab it with what looked like to me a pecan pick. The funny thing is that it wasn't even round it looks like a triangle. Thanks again for praying!!!!

Bead in the nose

Just wanted to write real quick, please pray for Taylor, she put a bead up her nose on Saturday night ( no colleen not the one's you got her). I took her to the ER and all they did was make her little nose sore and push the bead further up there. So I am waiting on an ENT to open so I can try to make an appt for her today. We think that because it is so far up there that she might have to have minor surgery to get it out. So just pray that all goes well, sometimes I joke and tell her that she should of been a boy for all that she gets into. Anyway I will up date you when I know something.
