BEES! YIKES!

Last Saturday Wayne went into the master bathroom because he thought he heard water dripping in the shower. It was not water but bees had gotten inside the wall and was buzzing around and hitting the other side of the shower. That was kind of unnerving until I went downstairs and discovered that there were bees in the house. They were very nice and were only intent on getting out by buzzing around the windows. Then they would die. Wayne had Marcus come over in the evening to put a bug bomb up into the rafters where we knew they were getting in. He went out on the patio to do the deed and discovered that we did not have a few bees but this: Yikes!

We had to call for some help to rid us of our bee problem! It worked...no more bees!

The Entrepeneur Strikes Again

After Carrie dropped her girls off last Tuesday while she took Matthew to therapy Sawyer came in and said she wanted to sell something. I said that we were not going to do that today. I thought she had dropped the idea. The next thing I know she has come to ask me if she could pick some fruit. I said yes without really thinking. I went upstairs for something and came down to check on Abby when I heard the door to the garage get shut. I go into the garage and the garage door to the outside is open. Oh, oh! Abby loves to go in the street. I run out and this is what I see. Sawyer had set this all up by herself and had gotten water bottles because it was kind of warm. She wanted me to make a sign for selling her fruit. I told her that we couldn't sell that fruit because it was too old and that I would buy it from her. I did not want to stand out there and watch Abby because I knew Abby would not come in.

Check out the dress Abby is wearing--it is the same dress Sawyer would put on evertime she came to Grandma's. Funny, funny Neus girls!

Don't I have cute grandchildren?

What A Month!

Now that Wayne is home and doing well and I have a few minutes between being nurse, nutritionist, caregiver, and doing manly things around the house to post some pictures and document our month.

Banner Heart Hospital was Wayne's home for 11 days. They were awesome and took really good care of Wayne through all his heart attacks, surgery, and breathing issues. When they started talking about releasing him both Wayne and I started getting nervous because he still needed a lot of help to walk, get out of bed, shower, and pretty much do anything. After being evaluated our case worker suggested that we go to a rehab place/care home/halfway house (whatever you want to call it). It sounded like a good idea to us. I got the honor to decide where. They gave me a list of care centers and some suggestions. I asked Carrie to go with me to help make the decision. We checked out one place that had private rooms and had just done some renovations. When we first walked in it did not smell so that was a plus in its favor and the room they showed me looked really nice. So I felt good about it and didn't go look anywhere else.

The next 10 days Mission Palms Health and Rehab Center was Wayne's home. The nurses and other staff were very nice and took good care of Wayne. He met some very nice people there.

Let's have a party! The M & M's and Neuses all came to visit at the same time. This is why we wanted a private room.

I'm free. We got permission to take Wayne on a field trip on Fast Sunday. It was the Break the Fast at the Sub shop. Wayne had an enjoyable time but was ready to leave after a few hours of fun. He had to find a quiet corner with out kids trying to run into him.
