Update-Has Murphy Moved on? I think so

Hi Everyone,
I haven't posted because I'm sure you are all sick and tired of hearing all the 'murphy' stuff thats been happening in our lives and home. But I think he is moving on..
We were back to the doctor yesterday, for another bp checkup for Rick..he is still all over the board, up and down like a yoyo...Sunday showed the most decent readings so far..but yesterday he was all over the place again..so we are praying it all levels out within the next few days. Yesterday the doctor doubled his bp meds from 4mgs to 8mgs per day one pill every 12 hours. He has been on these meds since Dec. 2. 


Our doctor of many years passed away suddenly in 2010 and it was a struggle to find any doctor who would take us on. He is the type of physician who always has his hand on the door knob the whole time your in there. I inquired if we should still go away-he said sure..play with the meds..don't let him get any lower than xyz or higher than xyz...I am not a doctor!! I sure wish he was stabilized.....I think the only thing Rick heard was 'yes I'd still go away'... of course I read between the lines...what if what if... I'm definitely not in a comfort zone with this physician, or this situation. He did at least listen to my chest..I got up yesterday and wondered who parked the elephant on my chest during the night..yes I'm full into a bronchitis attack..he did prescribe antibiotics and puffers for me. Hopefully within 48 hours they will kick in and I'll feel better. Last night was a long night of coughing.


Upon our return home yesterday, Rick immediately moved the motorhome back up to the front driveway and the lists are flying around here organizing the last minute load ups. There is so much you cannot do till the last minute. Plus we have company arriving today to spend christmas with us. Our foster daughter's daughter..Theresa..Jen is in the army and they are now posted in the North West Territories..we haven't seen Resa in 3 years so we are pretty excited that she will be with our family for christmas. She is now almost 17 years old.


This morning we had to be up early and across town to attend the grands christmas concert. It was scheduled for 8:30am...wow thats early...my but all the kiddos were adorable...and Hannah and Caitlin were so cute..waving at us all from the stage.

Hannah 

Caitlin

They were Attired in velvet Dresses with satin bows and fur trim-sent to them in Canada from Aunt Becky and Uncle Matt in Mississipi-Aunt Becky sure does a good job on the Christmas dresses every year. She black Friday shops at Macys for the girls christmas dresses each year. And what a good job you do Aunt Becky.

This afternoon Tracey and Tood are taking the girls to meet up with our youngest son Dennis. They are taking them to see a surprise!! Uncle Dennis bought the girls a mininature horse for Christmas..she is a beautiful little horse. She will reside at his friends stable not too far from here. I'm thinking Santa can't even top this gift. I can't wait to see the pictures of their dear little faces when they reveal this surprise to them.

I'm happy to hear that you all seem to be doing well...Al seems to have possibly, hopefully passed the stone? We can only hope and pray that Dr. Kelly fixed him up. Contessa's mum is having her much needed surgery today, so I will be keeping a prayer on my lips for a successful surgery and speed recovery for her.

If yall would throw Rick in your prayer baskets we'd sure appreciate it..I would feel a whole lot better having a few days of level acceptable bp readings under our belts before heading out next Tuesday.

Take care and stay safe!!!
