Good News and Not-so-good News

I think I'll start with the not-so-good news first.  On Saturday morning, my mom suffered another stroke.  She was so extremely dizzy that she couldn't even lift her head off of her pillow.  Once again my dad called 911 who got her to the hospital quickly where they learned that the stroke was in the same location as the last one but instead of another clot, it was a hemorrhage.  Over the course of this week, her dizziness has gone away but her eyesight is worse, she has tingling on the right side of her face and her arm hurts.  Her coordination has decreased as has her stability when walking.  Due to this, she's going to be transferred back to the in-patient rehab facility tomorrow where she'll stay for at least another week.  She's very, very upset about this mainly because it's such a set back but also because she was hoping to be able to play with Audrey this weekend when we're there to house hunt.  I just hope that the rehab helps and that she's able to regain her strength and coordination.  My dad and sister-in-law are planning on taking Audrey to my mom so they can at least visit.  That should lift her spirits.

The good news is that, as you know, we put our house on the market last Tuesday, 3/22 and.....it's already SOLD!!!!  We had a couple come through on Friday and again on Saturday and received their offer on Sunday night.  By Monday night, after a few rounds of negotiations, we accepted their offer.  Woo-hoo!  One major thing to cross off what I'm calling the "Big To Do List."  Our closing date is June 10 which means we now have a date that all other activities are based off of - moving, Audrey's last day at daycare, when all final dentist/dr appointments need to occur by, etc.  I told you my to do list was big.  The next 11 weeks are going to be insane and will likely fly by.  So much to do!!!

About This Blog

Laura began this blog with the intention of someday chronicling our children's lives since our family is spread out from east coast to west. We wanted a way for family to get up-to-date news. Since we had no children at the time, it became a blog that followed our (her) foodie thoughts. Cooking, eating out and drinking wine are huge hobbies of ours so it only seemed fitting. Now that children are here we're going to attempt to meld the two together. You will notice "Foodies" and "Family" links at the top left of the page underneath the header photos. Use these links to focus in on the entries you want to read and bypass the others. We hope you enjoy.
