BIG day Tomorrow!!!

Scott has his firefighter interview in the morning. He is really excited to have gotten this far in the process. This is the last hurdle to getting the job. He has taken a written test, a rigorous physical test, background check, and finally......the interview. No matter what the outcome is I want him to know that I am so very proud of him. Lets hope that the interview board is as impressed with him as I am.

Raegan has her first pediatric dentist appointment tomorrow. This kiddo loves to brush her teeth. I hope she likes going to the dentist and has a good experience. I am nervous for her. Maybe because its not so much fun for me as an adult and I remember always being nervous as a kid when I went, even though there was never really anything to ever worry about. If she does well and if it doesn't rain then we have told her that we will take her to feed the duck-ducks.

Grandaddy was in great spirits today. I went to see them at lunch and took my grandmother something to eat. Grandaddy and I had a lot of fun cutting up as usual. We always have had fun together. If you can't tell we've always been really close. He reminded me today that I was his daughter and that my dad was really just a surrogate. Too funny. I love them both. Since my dad is an only child and my grandfather didn't have any daughters I had them both give me away at my wedding. The preacher thought it was crazy but we all thought it was crazy not to. Well I mentioned all if this to say that the ICU specialist stopped by today and they have suggested once again that he have a feeding tube. He is losing weight and is not getting sufficient nutrition due to the complications from eating. It seems that every time he eats or drinks a certain portion of food and liquid goes into his right lung, therefore resulting in aspiration. He seems to be handling the news well. They have told him that it could be temporary but 90% of his food will come from the tube while he can still eat nibbles of comfort food. I am reminded daily by witnessing his struggles that I am truly blessed. I am praying for his healing and progress tomorrow. I also pray that the doctors' work will be guided by the hand of God.
