My Dad had a heart attack earlier this week, today he had a stint put in. Today is a good day. Feeling pretty grateful. Mom and I are at Jubilee. He just had the procedure. Waiting to hear what is next. We think he might get to go home today. The last couple days have been tense to say the least. Update, teeny heart attack, blocked artery, stint in, we get to take him home at 3. Second update, we did get to take him home at three. He looks great. Tired, hungry and a little sore. Totally amazing to be home already.
Eric took Luk for another ultra sound this morning and apparently his bowels let loose during the scan. Poor kid. Poor Eric. Woefully unprepared. Diapers and wipes in the car, not handy to the hospital. Sigh. The stool softener he's on isn't making our life any easier yet ;)
Jia has a robot dog that she adores. I found a robot velociraptor (sp?) at the thrift store for two bucks. She's right into dinosaurs right now so I was pretty excited to drag him home. She was intrigued right up until Eric put batteries in him. He hunts...sniffs the air and grunts and snaps and then walks towards you with his head going up and down and his tail swishing while he's hunting you. He is awesome. Jia is terrified of him. She demanded he go down to the toy room with all the share toys. Or the share room where toys go to get broken and die during play dates and parties. Luk thinks he's pretty cool and was packing him around. Update, Jia isn't afraid of him today and they are both packing him around. Hilarious to watch them petting the robot and talking to him. I think his name is Moona.
Mom and I had time to kill waiting for Dad so we went to the mall of course. I took advantage of the kid free shopping time and updated my phone. Fei and I spent some time tonight playing with the new one. Got the Note 4, liking it so far. We had some laughs. Our girlie is really fast and she was pretty patient with me ;) Jia was super exited to join us playing with my Note 2, I told her I needed the old one for a minute and she promptly told me to go use the new one! We also did some kid shopping. Got pressies for Luk's Birthday. Can't believe he turns 4 in three weeks.
I've been having a riot in the convertible. 1500 kms in the first week! We're all enjoying the top down. Eric has been great about letting me galavant.
Eric and I took the littles to the FCC-BC picnic in Parksville last weekend. Sad turn out but we enjoyed meeting some new people, a couple old friends and another family I've been in contact with for many years and finally met face to face. The tug-o-war was a huge hit with Luk and Jia. Luk got some pj's as the newest, youngest kid there. He is delighted with his purple panda pj's. Lili and Fei weren't with us, they did a 10k walk with Grampa and cousin Avery.
We have friends coming to the island tomorrow to pick up their new puppy! Looking forward to a visit and excited to get some puppy time.
