My family




Today was a family get-together at my niece, Heather and her husband Jonas' home. There were folks from all sides there! It might have been a bit awkward for some, but all in all it was a good day. Heather and Jonas have been together for years but recently married so today was a planned celebration of their marriage that they knew about and a surprise "shower" for them that they did not know about until today complete with a cake! It was pretty and Tobi could not keep her little fingers out of it! They live in a house they bought from Jonas' uncle when he and his wife divorced. They have a nice 3 bedroom 2 bath home with a nice yard and a pool, which their six year old son Jonas Jr. loves. All their "stuff" was either old or hand-me-downs from different ones of us, so they really needed some new stuff. I got them some bright colored lime green, melon and teal kitchen towels and dish cloths, a bright lime green cutting board and knife to match. She loves things like that.

All in all it was a good day. I left after 3 hours, my ankles were swelling so much from the heat that my flip flops were getting tight.

Last night was quite an experience! The sleep study went better than I expected, and I did not come away with CPAP already, so at least it's not really bad! They couldn't tell me anything, I have to wait for the Dr. to interpret the test. I will hear from it soon. I am so tired right now, I can barely hold my eyes open! I had to take a sleeping pill to get to sleep, and didn't feel like I slept over 3 or 4 hours. Couldn't have been much, I know I woke at least 3 times and it was close to midnight when I finally went to sleep (which is nothing new). I was wired for sound, literally! They had EEG leads on, EKG leads on, leads on my legs to monitor for restless legs, a monitor of the air I was breathing out, an oxygen saturation sensor on my finger and last but not least, a microphone on my throat to detect snoring.



This is a picture of the room I was in. It was as comfortable as it could have been. We will find out the results this coming week I hope! Rick had CPAP for several years. He used it faithfully for a long time.


I love y'all!
