Alex and Chris had to spend the week in Georgia for fall break. This was not a planned trip to say the least. Last Saturday I received a call from my dad saying he had to take my mom to the ER because she was very sick. So, I feel like I dumped the boys off on Grandmommy and Grandaddy! Mom seemed to be having some of the same symptoms she did when she had her TIA stroke back in 2000. Without a clearing of his throat, Grandaddy jumped in his truck and was here within 45 minutes to get the boys for me! I have great in-law's! I only packed the boys a few pairs of clothes and off they went to C-town, GA!!!
When I got to the hospital, they had mom turn up on her head! They were trying to get her BP up because it was 53/80 when she got to the ER. They went ahead and admitted her because they wanted to run more test on Sunday. The nurse came in and told her she had a germ in her stomach and mom just about freaked out! I laugh about it now. She sat straight up and said, "me of all people have a GERM!!!" For those of you who know mom can here her saying that and see why now I laugh. They never checked her for a stroke and I am still upset about that. She is still not feeling up to par. I told her she needs to talk with her regular doctor and let him check for it.
So, the boys had to stay with Grandmommy and Grandaddy and their cousins...Jonathan and Caleb all week. They had a blast! Grandmommy and Grandaddy live on a farm...nothing else needs to be said. 4wheelers and golf cart and all the land and critters a boy could ask for. Grandaddy built a fort in the back pasture out of hay bails and as you can see in the picture, the boys loved it. I think this was the best fall break yet and we owe it all to the Grandparents!!! All four boys had a blast and they slept in the basement without an adult! WOW...they are growing up too fast!
