Myles is home and I've been tagged.

My baby is home!!!!!! I love having him back where he belongs, but I'm so scared that he is going to do something to hurt himself. He really is not supposed to run, jump, or play. Well hello, he is a puppy and wants to do all of that. Right now I am keeping him contained, all day long. I get him out and hold him while I'm painting or just walk around with him. Bless his heart. I had to get a small kennel because his playpen offers more room than he is supposed to play in. This is going to be a long 8 weeks, but hey, I'll do what ever I need to do for him. Know what I mean? And thank you all for your many e-mails and comments about him. It is amazing how people I have never met can care so much.



Okay, I've been tagged. FarmChick from Fresh From The Farm has tagged me. How exciting, my very first tag. lol.

Here’s the rules:
1. Link to your tagger and post these rules on your blog.
2. Share 7 facts about yourself on your blog, some random, some weird.
3. Tag 7 people at the end of your post by leaving their names as well as links to their blogs.
4. Let them know they are tagged by leaving a comment on their blog.

My seven facts.
1. I broke my shoulder in first grade. We had a small horse and she went up a hill and decided to go down it without me holding on. When she stopped my body decided to do a fancy dismount, but it didn't let my brain know so that I could put my feet down.
2. When my husband and I got married, he met me half way down the alise and walked me the rest of the way. My father had passed away in 1976, so Phil knew I needed help that day adn he took care of me. I was and am still blessed.
3. My favorite dessert is the chocolate brownie with ice cream that is served at WOW. World of Wings, I think is the name. It is to die for. Hmm,,,, maybe that is where I will have Phil take me tonight, it is Saturday and I can have dessert tonight.
4. I will be celebrating my 25th wedding anniversary on the 26th of this month.
5. I used to loved reading, still do just not as much. I would pick up every book I could and read it. It is like I had a fear that there would be books out there that I wouldn't be able to read. It would be nothing for me to stay up all night long just to read. Now I do good to get a paragraph read.

Now for the fun part of tagging others.

1. Sandy at Dream Create Inspire
Sandy is my friend that introduced me to the world of blog land. She is a great artist, go check
her out.
2. Becky at Stitching for Life
Becky and I have been friends since 1969, and it is a friendship that has survived being apart
many, many, many years. Did I mention that we have been apart for years? But we do see
each other at least once a year, and sometimes 4 times. And we talk just about every day, via
internet and cell phones. Go check her out and welcome her to the world of bloggers.
3. Suzy at Dream Keyper
I found this blog site while doing the OWOH, and I fell in love with the site, the sisters, and
their work. Then when names were drawn I was so thrilled to find out that I had won their
giveaway. If you haven't visited them before then do yourself a favorite and go visit.
4. Denise at Denise's Little Birdie Studio
I've just met her this week. She came in and left a very sweet message about Myles and so I
went and visited her blog. I love her work. Go check her out and see what I mean.
5. Jo Anne at Paper Cat's Page
Jo Anne is another person that I met thru OWOH. She was one of my winners, I sent her the
jar with little fish on it. Anyway, she is a person with a loving heart, and does beautiful work.
Matter of fact, she has a new project going on right now, go visit her and get involved. It
sounds like a great idea.
6. Gabriela at Gabriela Delworth's Blog
This is a blog that I found when doing the OWOH and I loved it. She makes Paper Crowns
and they are so much fun. Pure fun. If you have never been there before you have got to
check these crowns out.
7. Terisa at Running with Scissors
I pick Terisa because when I first posted on my blog about my friend Becky being new to
blogland, and asked for some to go welcome her Terisa was one of them. There were about 8
bloggers that welcomed her and so I picked a name from there. I appreciate everyone that
goes that extra mile to welcome and help others.

Okay, that is it. Now I am going to go in and tag all of these wonderful people. Thanks for visitng and come again soon.

Going to bed.

Hi, I wanted to stay up long enough to post pictures of my sweet Myles tonight, but I think I'm coming down with something and I need to go to bed. Let me just tell you that I got tosee him today, and he is beautiful. As soon as I held him I could tell that e has lost a lot of weight. Now realize this, Myles only weighted 3 pounds when he went into the hospital so he doesn't have that much to lose. I got lots and lots of kisses, and at the end of our time together he was laying his head on my chest and we just lost ourselves in our time together. They did tell me that I probably won't be able to bring him home until Friday. Can't wait.

I'll post more later, right now I just need to go to sleep.

Two post in one day.

I just need to share with you about my class this morning. I really believe that God puts people in your life at the right time, and I believe that he has brought two special angels into my life at this time. Theresa and Patty are my Tuesday morning faithfuls, and today I was in a rare form. I was worked up about Myles and a lot of other things that have been on my plate for a while and I just stood there, or sat there, and unloaded. And they let me just talk and talk and talk. They shared too, and at times we were crying and then laughing. I felt so much better after they left, I even got a hug. It is funny, we've only been together for a few weeks, but I felt so comfortable sharing with them today. What a blessing!

Tuesday night update.

Myles has had his surgery and is doing well. The doctor called me around 7:00 tonight and gave me the update. Good news in the fact that there were only two bones damaged, not three. We still don't know if he will be lame, or what. I get to go see him tomorrow afternoon and I can hardly wait. I want to get my hands on him so bad and give him lots of kisses and hugs. i do love that little man.
I'll take a photo tomorrow and send it out so that you an see him. He is so sweet.
thanks,
Charlie

Tuesday update.

Finally got to talk with the doctor and got some questions answered. Myles will be in surgery this afternoon, and the surgery should be about 1 1/2 hours long, depending on how many bones are broken. She said that until they get in there they can't be sure if it is 2 or 3 bones. If there are only two bones involved his healing should go well and he shouldn't have many side effects. If there are three bones involved then his healing will take longer and he might have some lameness or arthrist(sp). He will need to stay in the hospital for at least two nights and when he gets to come home he will not be able to run, jump, or play for 6 weeks. Can you believe that? But what ever it takes, I'm going to do it.
I'll be back in later with more news on Myles.
thanks,
Charlie

Myles update, Monday night.

Still no Myles, still no surgery. The doctor finally called tonight after 6:00p.m., and that was after I had called them over ten times. They had two emergencies that came in, so they bumped Myles and didn't get to him. Am I upset? you had better believe it. I know, it wasn't a life and death situation, but he is my baby and I want him fixed so that he doesn't have any pain. And I want him home. He is on the schedule for tomorrow, I just don't know what time yet. Thank you for all of the calls, e-mails, and prayers for him. I'll write again tomorrow to let you know how he is.

thanks.

here are some photos of Myles from last night at Drake's birthday party.

This is me holding him while he gives me some kisses. And this is big sister Samantha holding him. The purple wrap is the broken leg, the green wrap is the I.V. in his leg.

Myles update.

Myles is back at the hospital this morning, waiting for his surgery. They are going to be putting screws in his little leg, but the doctor assures me that he will not have complications from this as he continues to grow. His pain was so high this morning that when I picked him up to take him this morning he started crying and actually bit my finger in his pain. Bless his heart. They told me that they would take him straight back and start the IV again to help maintain his pain. I just want them to help him so that he isn't in so much pain. My Doctor also assures me that the doctor doing the surgery is the best in town and that I should feel comfortable with Myles being there.

I'll pop back in later and let you know what I find out.
thanks,
Charlie
