Funeral Day

Well we just arrived back from the funeral and funeral dinner. It was very nice. He really was way too young to die. He was 48.

So now I am baking a cake for my brother's birthday. His birthday was Wednesday (the same day John died) and I was planning a party at my house for him Friday, but had to cancel it due to the visitation. I rescheduled it for Sunday. The bad part is I wanted a bonfire party for him so it will have to be later and everyone has to work the


next day, so there will probably be some early leavers, but whatever. So I am baking a cake and doing some other prep work in preparation for that.

Passing

Well, my step-father-in-law passed this afternoon. They shut the vents off at 12:10 and he died at 12:40. The did not struggle and he never gasped for breath. He just peacefully pasted. We went to his parents house and had dinner this evening. The visitation is Friday and the funeral is Saturday. I actually have to go buy St. Louis Cardinals t-shirts tomorrow because as a tribute to him, we are all wearing them at the visitation.

Also this weekend I am throwing my little brother a bonfire party on Sunday. It was suppose to be Friday but I had to change it due to the funeral.

Well I probably should be getting some sleep right now. Good night

Much needed evening


I am having a much needed evening after this weekend. We ordered dominos pizza, lite a candle, and I am going to soak my feet in my foot spa while watching teen mom. Ok, I am ready to catch you up on my weekend.

My husband's stepfather had a massive stroke on Saturday. In hindsight we know it was a long time coming. He was really dizzy, tired, and had blurred vision for several weeks. He had a MRI scheduled for today. However last saturday he was feeling especially bad so they went to the emergency room to get a MRI right away. After, he came out of the MRI, he had a massive stroke in the hospital's hallway. A main artery is 100% blocked. The doctor said when he came in Saturday morning, it was probably 99% blocked and then it just blocked. He has been in a locked-up state ever since. He is cognitively able to know what is going on, but he can not reply back. He can't do anything except blink his eyes. He is not breathing on his own. As soon as the vent is out, he will stop breathing shortly after that. The vent is being taken out tomorrow at 8:00. He had family traveling to come see him so that is why we are waiting until tomorrow. Then it will be a waiting game and probably a short waiting game. So that is how my weekend went.

Saturday-cleaned and cleaned and cleaned my house do to my mom flying in from Wyoming.

Saturday night-Had pizza and beer for my brother's birthday at a local pizza place and went back to his house for pie.

Sunday-went to the "Bath and Body Works" 2 for $20 candle sale and Sweet CECE's (which is a frozen yogurt place you make your own and they weigh it and you pay by the ounce.)

Sunday night-went to my cousins labor day party until really late.
