Piper and Dad

Sunday, July 1, 2012

I think she moved her arm...she did move her arm!!!...oh crap is it okay she moved her arm?

Happy Sunday to you all!

Another uneventful night is in the books.  Yesterday was a good day as a lot of Maizy's swelling went down and she continued to pee like a champ! (she does get that from her dad!)  Late last night I noticed that she started to occasionally move, I could see her eyes moving under her eyelids, she would move her feet, and once when I touched her side her arm twitched as if to say "Hey dad...I am still sedated from open heart surgery...don't touch me right now!

Of course it was exciting to see movement, but once I realized that.... well she was moving I became a bit nervous.  The doctors and nurses said not to worry they wouldn't let her wake up, and that it was just a common reaction.  So cool...we are all good there. 

Piper is doing well, she conned Dr. Poore with the help of Allison Poore into taking them all to Dairy Queen that other day.  Apparently Piper saying "Ice cream...Dr. Poore....pllllleeeeeasssseeee"....gets you a mini blizzard.  Piper is going with Papa Dave today so she can do her sunday routine of going to Great Grandma Dodo's to play, and then to Papa and RaRa's house for lunch.  Papa Dave is also picking up Scout (one of our dogs) because she is terrified of fireworks, and with the fourth of July coming up its best if Scout goes into hiding.  So Scout with likely spend the fourth of July riding around with Papa Dave making sure no "damn idiots" set off fireworks at the Pike Trail Marker.

I want to give a big shout out to our friends Ben and Tawni Retter who are running the Color Run in KC today and they made the shirts pictured below:


Maizy and the rest of Team Ferrell are there with you in spirit!!!

I would also like to thank Rhonda (Traci's mom or as we call her Grandma RaRa) for coming over and tidying up our room at the Ronald McDonald House and doing laundry.  I appreciate the fact that she washed my padded bike shorts, which happen to have bright orange padding in them.  She was dumbfounded by what that they were, and asked me later "What the hell are those tight shorts with the orange padding...do you wear diapers or something?"  There are some things you can't unsee...I think my padded bike shorts just may have been that for RaRa. 



Everyone be good to one another and we will talk to you soon!
