SORRY I HAVE BEEN MIA.....

I can not believe that it has been this long. Things have been so crazy, so glad that school is finished. The last couple of weeks of school were very crazy, Friday May 15 was our last day and had work day on Monday, then Tuesday the next life started. I am watching between 5-6 kiddos a day. Life around the Sanchez's is very busy. Sunday, May 31 I ended up at Women's Hospital thinking that I was in premature labor, well needless to say.... I had a kidney stone. For those of you who have not suffered with one, let me just say that they are painful and don't think that you are out of the loop because there is a first time for everything. That was my first and I can only pray that it will be my last!!!! Then Sunday June 4, I had to take Averi into the doctor because she was having trouble catching her breath and wheezing very bad. We saw Dr. Ronnie, and got two shots, round of breathing treatments, and two antibiotics. Went back in on Monday and received another round of shots. For dinner Monday night, Poppie, Nonnie, Averi and I headed to Las Palmas for dinner. On our drive there Poppie decided to make the comment that he thinks that he messed up his arm, well needless to say the whole time during dinner he would cringe every time he moved it. Lake After Hours, here we come!!!!! We were told at first that he broke a bone next to his elbow. Tuesday, Nonnie was going in for back surgery to remove a nerve from a disc and to have some work done on that disc, well you see the luck we were having.......surgery was scheduled for 1:30p.m., then pushed back till 2:30 and then we were told that they were going to reschedule......in the middle of rescheduling the doctor showed up, ready to go. No one at the NeuroMedical Center had a clue that he was on his way. Surgery began at 4:40 p.m. Now mid you that Poppie was at the doctors office finding out what was going on with his arm. Nonnie was in surgery from 4:40 til 7:15, a very long wait, finally getting to see her at 8:30p.m. Poppie on the other hand was not doing to well, he was put into a hard cast, that is removable, technology that they have today is amazing....the cast is fit to his arm, but he can take it off only to bath, he broke his arm in two different places, a bone next to the elbow and a bone in the wrist. After long hours of waiting we were able to see Nonnie, doctor was very happy with the turn out of surgery, he stated that he did a lot of work to the nerve and to the disc itself and we would have to wait to see how mom felt in the morning to see if the surgery helped. He stated that we would see a difference if the surgery went like he thought it did in the morning. Once Nonnie got into the room, Averi and I kissed her and headed home, lets just say that I was very sick to my stomach. I don't like to see anyone like that when they come out of surgery. Poppie really wanted to stay with her, which was good with us being that she was out of surgery so late and figured that she would sleep through the night and they had a very good one. Her doctor came in at 6:15 Wednesday morning, with a grin from ear to ear wanting to know just how she felt...........................she had NO PAIN in her hip. Things went well for her that morning she so she was released after lunch. Nonnie is doing well, she is in a lot of pain from the surgery itself, but as far as the hip she still has no pain. WHAT A BLESSING!!! We are all so excited because we are going to have our old Nonnie back!!!!! Its such a hard thing to see two people that you love so much not able to do the things that they want to do, and seeing Poppie so upset with himself because of what happened, but you know what God has a plan for everything. God never gives us what we can not handle.
