THANKFUL THURZDAY - even if it iz kinda late

We are joining in the 

Thankful Thursday Blog Hop 

this week with PepiSmartDog.

We all at Team Beaglebratz have a few things to be thankful for this week.

We Beaglebratz know, none of us haf bin

around much the

past few dayz’n we wuz NOT HERE AT ALL 

on Tuezday.  Our mom had anuther eye doc 

appointment in the mornin’then in the 

afternoon, she had sum peepz come out tue 

give our carpet a BATH!  We DID NOT WANT 

that kind of a bath so we spent the afternoon

duin'this

with our Aunt Sis an'fur cuzin,

Diva Bailie.

And then later, our mom joined us.

We all ended up spendin’the nite with

Aunt Sis an’Diva Bailie.

Now we Beaglebratz r gonna turn

OUR blog over tue

our mom so she can tell u’boutz her

eye doc appointment.

Thank you Shiloh & Shasta.

Well, as the Beaglebratz told you-

I did have an eye doc appointment

Tuesday morning-

it was with the cornea specialist.

As of now-

NO SURGERY NEEDED!!!

WOO-HOOOOOOO!!!!

The epithelial defect WAS almost 6mm-

NOW – 1mm by 2mm!!!

WOO-HOOOOOO!!!!

BUT, what I consider the best news and

have NEVER heard before-

the specialist told me that

I STILL HAVE A FEW OF MY OWN

STEM CELLS WORKING (in my eye)!!!

(To borrow from the B-bratz)

WAHOOZIEZ COOL DOOZIEZ!!!!!

This was going to be what the next surgery was for– a stem cell transplant using stem cells from my other(blind but healthy)eye.  Sooo – between the few healthy stem cells I still have and YOUR prayers and well-wishes,

I HAVE BEAT THE EVIL EYE MONSTER!!!

At least for now and that is ALL that matters!

I am trying to learn this piece of valuable info

 from Shasta and Shiloh.

More from Mom Kim -

I have one more thing I am thankful for.

Last week I missed work the first three days

of the week due to vision problems.

THEN

when I returned to work last Thursday &

got home, there was a message from

a florist on my answering machine letting me 

know that they had delivered 

some flowers and left them on the porch since

no one was home.

(I go inside through my garage so I was grateful for the message)

(Please excuse the Beagle nose and the poor quality of this pic and 

wish I had taken a pic right after I got the flowers - oh well)

The florist hadn't told me who they were from-

when I read the card- 

Sydney and Chewy! 

(maybe Shasta smelled something besides flowers?) 

How thoughtful was this?

We all had reasons to be 

Thankful this Thursday!

Mom Kim,

Shiloh-Lord of the Manor an'Diva Shasta

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????

Diva Bailie, their Westie cuzin
