Heading home

Tanner and I are heading home to KC today. Tomorrow is my Dad's birthday so we are going to surprise him by showing up this evening. He has no idea. He had told Mom that he didn't want to do anything for his birthday, that they should postpone it because of all that's going on with Gpa. Little does he know! Tomorrow night we are taking Dad on a "dinner date." My oldest brother has to work, so it'll just be Mom, Tanner, my sister in law, two nieces and myself. Isn't Dad lucky to have dinner with all us girls! :)

Of course I will also spend as much time as possible at the hospital. On Wednesday, they drained 5.9 cups of fluid off of Gpa's lungs. He is so out of it and is running a high fever again. They changed his pic line yesterday and put it in the other arm, thinking maybe the arm it was in is where the infection is. Who knows at this point. He's still not eating and when he opens his eyes, they aren't sure he knows who you are or that your there. Honestly, I'm nervous to see him. A huge part of me wants to, but at the same time, I'm really anxious about it. I hate the thought of him not knowing I'm there. Ya gotta do what ya gotta do though, so I'm going to suck it up and visit. Plus, maybe if I'm there, it'll give my Dad and his siblings a little break.

I've been up since 4:00 this morning. I just couldn't sleep. I kept waking up and looking at the clock. I went ahead and got up, finished packing and made a homemade cinnamon coffee cake. It's in the oven now and will be ready in just a few minutes.

Happy Friday!
