NOTICE!! NOTICE! We are still around HOWEVER...(and an update)



Mom Kim here-

Let me do a bit of a recap of this past week-

MONDAY(3/31) - Diva's Bailie (Westie cuzin) and Shasta both had their dental work done - Diva Bailie came out better with NO teeth left behind at the vet's while Diva Shasta left one.  Otherwise, Diva Shasta is doing fine and eating as always.
TUESDAY - the workday was nothing different however
sis picked me up after work then went to my place 
where in less than a half hour both Shiloh'n Diva Shasta went out then came back in to eat then back out again.  After they came back in, sis and I left for Winchester, KS where my Aunt Elaine and Uncle David lived.  My aunt Elaine had been in failing health for the past few-  months - we had been told that it was now only
 a matter of hours before she passed.    When we got 
there many of their children were home now as well as 2 of Elaine's sisters. 
WEDNESDAY - Usual workday again except for one thing - my sis called me after she got a phone call that even though we knew it was coming, we all still kept hoping and praying for a miracle - it still seems so unbelievable
when our Uncle David called to tell us that our Aunt Elaine had died a short time earlier. 
Also in the afternoon on this day, I had an eye doctor appointment - we tend to JUMP and get to the eye 
doctor almost as soon as I notice any worsening of my eye condition (for anyone new here, I am blind in my left eye so when something changes in my remaining vision then I get to my eye doctor ASAP)   And yes, things had indeed changed for the worse.  Exactly how worse will be determined when I see my cornea specialist NEXT Tuesday, 4/8.  I do know that my visual acuity this past Frday was basically 20/70 - now I am reading about the level of legal blindness but since that is my DISTANT vision, it doesn't affect my ability to work - at least not much at all.  This problem is by no means new and I have a few blog posts about it - especially since late January of 2010.
Ok - now AFTER my appointment we headed to Rossville, KS where my Aunt Eloise resides in the local nursing facility there.  After my sis and I visited with our Aunt Eloise for a while, reminisced about her husband (our Ucle Harry) we returned home.
 THURSDAY - usual workday.  The Beaglebratz loveds that I was home with them all evening - found out that the visitation for my Aunt Elaine will be Friday (4/4)
 evening with the funeral Saturday afternoon - in other
words, won't be around much at all until possibly Sunday (4/6).

On another note -  I had been tninking about this then when I had a comment on the post about requesting POTP for Diva's Shasta and Westie cuzin Bailie - 


about making Diva Bailie an Honorary Blogville member - she does visit here sometimes and Shiloh'n Diva Shasta visit there too
SO BLOGVILLE, WHADDYA THINK????

So sorry for you loss...no doubt your Aunt will be missed. Good to hear the dental work went okay and the furbabies came through it okay. Hope the news is not too bad at the eye specialist
