By the Numbers.........

When does 5 + 12 + 27+5 equal 65? When they're Nellie Grey's five children, twelve grandchildren, twenty-seven great grandchildren, five great great grandchildren, plus the spouses- that's when..........

Today is the anniversary of the birth of Nellie's husband and my father, Perry. Dad was born 95 years ago- it's hard to believe he's been gone 8 years.

I stopped in tonight about 6PM and had a nice visit with Mom. She said she had a great day and was up in the chair most of the day.

I spoke with her nurse Kathy about how the day went- she said Mom had a great day as well. Her vital signs was looking good and the plan is that Mom is in the "First Spot" for Tuesday. This means she will be leaving her room between 6:15 and 6:30 AM.

I think we'll have to be careful she gets "some" rest on Monday- so she's got all the energy she can muster for the surgery. Her spirits were high tonight and she looked great as well.

I always forgot dad's Birthday and this year is no different. I told him I didn't like rewarding him for getting old. Now i feel the same about myself.
I wish he were here in person-I know we miss him.

thanks for the heads up, brother.

Grandpa is everywhere around us you see him in all of his children. Don't you Grandma.
Well, Grandam can't keep you up to long reading all these post. Just know I check in every day a couple times a day to see what is going on. Know that we all love you. Get some rest you have a big day coming up.
