Finally things are coming together! I have Cody packed and I am almost packed. I have the passports in our carry on bag and it is right next to our luggage. I am working on getting the house cleaned up today. I love coming home to a clean house so that means work work before we get to relax. It will be worth it though. We are sooooo excited about seeing all the family and friends. We miss everyone! I am really excited but kinda nervous about seeing my dad. I'm afraid of what my reaction will be when I see him in person laying in that bed. I have been so emotional since we left the states so maybe I will be back to my normal self once we get back :). It's like I moved to a different country so I have to cry all the time. Either if I'm happy or sad. I think it may be caused by all the stress that I have been having but who knows :) I did have a laughing episode the other day(Lana you know what I'm talking about)! We were out with our friends at a German restaurant and I just started laughing and I couldn't stop. It was so embarrassing. When this happens I can't breath and I start to cry. Everyone else finds it amusing but I hate it...LOL Good thing it doesn't happen very often. Well we will be home in 3 days! Can't wait to see everyone!!!!! :)

Well today has been rainy so we didn't get to much done yet. We are trying to get everything done here at the house b4 we fly home so we can come back to a nice clean home. We did get all of our bills taken care of that are due on the first so that was good. I am sooooooo EXCITED to be home. I am going to start packing tomorrow. The army is kinda nuts!! They have these events planned on Thursday and Friday that we are required to go to. Cody is in charge of some things so there is no getting out of it. Therefore that only leaves me tomorrow and wednesday to get the rest of my things done and packed. I hope that I can get it all done. I hate doing things last minute and cody likes doing things last minute. I guess he can cram all his things in at once but not me :) I get to stressed and have a meltdown..hahaha! Knowing my luck I would forget our passports and we would be stuck!!

Aww today was a much better day!!! I got to talk to Cody for a little bit. He is in charge of the range and he calls me from the tower that he was in. HAHA I guess he just sat in the tower making sure that everything went ok. He has such a hard job. ;) I also got to talk to mom and it was for almost an hour. She went to the doctor and got some medicine. She was basically just loosing it because of all the stress. She was doing much better today and is able to have a conversation and know what she is saying. This will help dad a lot to. He is basically about the same, the speech therapist should be in tomorrow to help him a bit. Mom said that his ribs are still sore and his shoulder is sore. That is why they haven't done a lot of "rehab" things with him yet. Also the speech therapist is supposed to put some notes up so that when people come to visit dad they will know what type of questions to ask him. He still isn't eating much but they still have the feeding tube in him. That would explain why he isn't eating, he isn't hungry... haha. You would think that the docs would be smart enough to put that together. LOL Over all today was filled with good news. I am just really glad that mom is doing much better. That makes my world better when she is ok. :)

Not much more news on dad. I talked to mom but just for a couple minutes. All she said was that they had to move dad to a different room because the guy he was roomed with couldn't sleep from dad talking all night. I haven't really gotten a good update since they moved him to Pryor. Hopefully I'll find out more and if I do I'll update you guys.

I just talked to my mom and when she went to see dad today the nurse told her that they were taking the trec out of his throat :) :) :) Mom had to get off the phone for a bit but I'll call her back later tonight and get more info and see how it went. We are so excited!!!

Today was a much better day. I got to get outside and work in my flower garden so that was awesome!! I also mowed the lawn just in time for it to start raining but it didn't last long so it was bad. I got great news on dad today!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! He was wide awake and stayed in his chair for 6 hours and was awake in it. He also told mom that he loved her!!! WOWZERS! She said that she just started crying because she was so happy. He still has that trec thing in so his voice didn't come out but he moved his lips and they could tell what he said. He was trying to say something else to but they couldn't make that out. They have been asking him little one answer questions and he can answer so that is great news to!! I know that I can always count on a good day following the bad days so that is helpful to!!!

I went to bible study this morning and then made a run to the store for some shopping. I tried to get some groceries but the commissary is closed on Wednesday!! Bummer! I came home and took some Tylenol because my head and teeth were hurting. It made me groggy so I didn't want to do anything else. I talked to mom today and dad is doing about the same. Days like this makes me feel like I'm in a horrible nightmare and my friends and family are just moving along and I'm just stuck and can't wake up! I think that just this one time I'll call mom and dad will be awake and really be awake. I just get to thinking that things are okay and the reality hits me and they are not ok. I know that he is getting better and is healing pretty quickly but I just want this whole thing to be over with and for the worry and hurt to go away!!!! I don't want my dad to have to lay in that hospital bed one more day and not being able to get out and go fishing or just sit outside.
