week 26

here's me and grandma sumpter as promised...she came up to watch me while mom does bootcamp...grandma's are great!

my bib says it all, "my grandma loves me"...both of them...i get 2 grandmas to shower me with hugs and kisses and lots of lovin'...how lucky can one guy be?

here we are out on the patio enjoying the evening...

here's grandpa sumpter, he came down to stay for a week to help dad out...

now you can see why dad might have needed a little help around the house...he had arthroscopic (betcha didn't know i could spell that) surgery on his elbow. i offered him my thumb to help him feel better (it works for me), but he said he'd pass. percocet's got nothing on the tumb...

welcome to the jungle...

so i started out with bananas, then i had sweet potatoes, and now i'm on to avocado...

i think i like it...now if i could just figure out how to work this spoon thing...

i was a little curious listening to dad talk about his trip to the hospital, so i decided to take a trip of my own. i had my first (and hopefully last) ride in an ambulance on saturday night. i didn't feel so great, i was a little pale (with purple lips), and had a bit of trouble breathing. i started feeling a little better on the ride over to the hospital and even held my oxygen as they wheeled me in to the ER. the doctor said my chest x-ray looked like i might have a bit of pneumonia in my left lung, so i'm taking antibiotics (which are quite tasty). i was back to myself before we left the ER sunday morning (around 2:30), smiling at my nurse, pulling at my leads, and chewing my oxygen mask. thank you to all of you who called, emailed, and prayed for me and my recovery...until next week...stay cool
