Roller Coaster Ride

Today is one of those days... My day started out with a phone call that things were not looking good for Poppa Jim... he was deteriorating and they thought they was more blood on the brain... i was done. I couldn't get myself out of bed except to be sick because I was so upset... Then we get the call that the catscan results came back and there was no blood on the brain... but his brain was swollen... so, they shipped him off to st mike's where he is now. when he got there the staff discovered he was totally dehydrated so they hooked up an IV and they saw improvements immediately... now we are waiting for results from a CT scan to figure out what is going on.

My plans for today changed. No treadmill. No appetite either... I did do some baking for work though.

Here's what I had today:
Breakfast/lunch - fruit salad (2), apple (1), leftover veggies (0)
Snack - cheese string (1), popcorn (3)
Total: 7
Water: 1L

i thought about dinner a couple of hours ago but haven't been hungry and don't have the energy to make anything.

I'll end with some photos from yesterday's hard work with my veggies:

Jen,
Fingers crossed that your Poppa Jim is where he needs to be right now. It's good that there wasn't any more blood. Maybe he just needs a little more time at a critical care hospital before he's ready to come home.
Do your best to take care of yourself...
Hang in there, my friend :)
Lots of love!!!!!
