What a week we have had at our house! Last week started by getting ready for our first trip with Lindsey to Madison. We made it there with bells on, Lindsey was great in the car. Maya had a hard time she was not feeling well. We made it to Uncle Elias's house and moved in. We then went to Grandpa Groths and had a good time celebrating Christmas and just hanging out. We ended our trip by going to Chelsea and Jeff our friends wedding reception. Everyone was beautiful, they had good food and we got to see friends we had not seen for a long time. The girls were angels and I could not have asked for better behaved children. We then drove home from the reception and made it home around midnight. We had noticed that Lindsey's eye was really runny and kind of swollen. When we got up in the morning it was swollen shut, so off to urgent care we all went, still in our dress clothes! We found out that it was a simple eye infection she could have gotten any where and we got some medicine for it and she is all healed up. We also gave her some homeopathic remedies which cut how long we had to give her the antibiotic in half! Thank God for natural remedies and my husband who knows all about them! It just so happened that when we left my Grandfather really started to go down hill. My parents ended up calling the ambulance and had him hospitalized. It has been decided by the Dr. that it would take a whole lot of care that my parents and us can not give my Grandfather so he is to go in a nursing home. I can only imagine that this is the hardest decision that my parents and my mom's sisters and brother will every have to make. Not having my grandfather in our house changes the dynamics and the mood of the house. I will miss how my grandfather could get my daughter to laugh by looking at her and Maya telling Great Grandpa that it is time to eat. I am thankful that we will be able to visit him in the nursing home but I am sad that our house will forever be changed.
