The next 10 days will be the most critical days of Steve's and my life.
Tomorrow I need to prepare bulletins for 2 weeks for the church I work for. Then I truly must go to the Relay for Life event, because I am a team captain. I wish I didn't have to, because on top of everything else, I wrenched my back out of place and have been unable to drive, walk much, or do any housework for the past week. (I am feeling better.) My team procurred a wheelchair for me...which day before yesterday I was like "No way, no how am I gonna sit in that thing." But, I needed to buy school clothes and supplies for my daughter yesterday, and even though my sister did all the driving, I came home utterly exhausted and in excruciating pain. Today, we bought clothes for my son...and I used one of those "old, fat people scooters" at Wal-Mart, which now qualifies me as a "People of Wal-Mart" but, the difference in how I feel tonight vs. how I felt last night has convinced me that wheelchairs are pretty good things to have around if one has a really bad back issue.
Saturday will a day of preparation...the kids need to have everything together for the start of school on the 25th, Steve needs to get everything prepared for his stay in the hospital. We'll also get all ready for the folks to care for all the critters. I will be helping out as best as I can in my gimpy state.
Sunday...time for worship as a family, then I think Steve and the kids have something prepared for my 50th birthday.
Monday...well Monday is the day we turn Steve's life and health over to the doctors here on earth and more importantly over to the Great Physician Himself.
I'll stay at the hospital with Steve for the duration. If all is going well Wednesday evening, I will go down to the house in town in order to get the kids off to school Thursday morning...but if I can't or if Steve doesn't desire me to go, my m-i-l will do so.
And, if all goes well, Steve should be able to come home either Friday or Saturday...and we'll see how he does in "real life" for 24-48 hours. If he's good, then he can remain home...if not, we'll have to go back. Also, if he's good and remains good for six weeks, then a brain surgery will most likely not be necessary.
I'm not planning on spending much time that's not work related on the computer this weekend (love you guys, but ...) and when I'm at the hospital I won't be logging in at all.
But, I'll certainly appreciate all thoughts and prayers that will be sent our way and hopefully next Saturday or Sunday I can log back in here and spend time with my many friends here! And...even more hopefully, I'll be able to say that Steve is doing great and is seizure free!

I don't think it makes me a perv if I ask you to give your daughter a hug.
